Two Acceptance Letters in One Day

That's right, folks, I received two Acceptance Letters this afternoon, just fifteen minutes apart. The first was at 2:06pm from Crab Fat Literary Magazine.

Crab Fat is a quarterly online journal and the editors have accepted one of my flash fiction pieces for publication. It will be viewable online next month.

The second acceptance was at 2:21pm and it came from Poetry Quarterly. The editors of this journal have accepted my poem, "Defender of the Letter," for publication.

I wrote this little poem almost a year ago, January 11, 2014. It's taken quite a while for it to be accepted. It has really made the rounds, circulating among more than a few dozen journals before finally finding a home.

Each time it got rejected, I would re-read it carefully, trying to decide if there was anything I should change, but I always ended up leaving it exactly as it was and then re-sending it out into the world.

I'm glad I did. I knew I would find the right home for it eventually. I really look forward to seeing this one in print.

I now have three Acceptance Letters, so far, for the year.

Oblong Magazine

I received a rejection letter today from Oblong Magazine. I sent them three short fiction pieces. I've written quite a few pieces of flash fiction in recent months. One piece was just accepted last week by The Homestead Review. I'm hoping for a few more acceptances before the end of the year.

 

This submission was my first attempt with Oblong. I like what I've read of their online journal, so I'll probably try again in January.
