Amethyst Angel š ![]() ![]() D on't wait too long to chronicle the events... even if you do not share them with us or others. With each passing year, your list will grow longer. One day, you may find yourself like me with 20-plus unfinished novels in a cloud that you can only pray some kind of completion will come before your end. Note, I am nothing special! I would venture that everyone (of my generation) on our forum could match my number of cool, weird, and sometimes horrific stories. Life is aboutāa great test, a scrubbing against the rocks in life to make us stronger, (so people say). I know that sounds wrong, but remember, steel only becomes strong enough to make a sword after being exposed to scorching heat and thousands of hammer blows. |

Up in the morning, Up in the evening Picking down clocks When the birds come out to eat... Up on the mountain Down in the king's lair Pushing these blocks In the heat of the afternoon... We were never welcome here at all, no It's who we are Doesn't matter if we've gone too far Doesn't matter if it's all okay Doesn't matter if it's not our day... ā ![]() ![]() ![]() note ▼ |
Recently I took my first WdC story and wrote a lean, mean, revamped version. I submitted the new one to a magazineāmy first ever. It wasn't accepted, which is why I'm sharing, but I'm proud of finally taking that step to getting published (on my phone, using Google Docs ![]() I need to thank everyone here for guiding me in my evolution from V1 to V2; they shouldn't necessarily be compared, but this new story utilizes what I've learned from my mentors while keeping a word count in mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Congratulations, my friend, you've taken the first steps down a road of unpredictability, of which it can only be said will be exciting and just possibly fulfilling. I had nothing to do with the polishing of this story, but it will be at the top of my list when I return to do reviews, most likely tomorrow. This is a great story. Don't give up on it; this is the kind of quality that finds a home eventually... ![]() |
Congratulations on your submission! I was told by a professor not long ago that he also went through a few rejections of his submissions. But he just kept at it and finally made it through. I have not yet submitted anything. That first one is the biggest hurdle, according to these recent replies I've read. |

Typos? Should it be: . Said the fly, "Let us flee!" Said the flea, "Let us fly!" . Apologies for my impertinence. |
