and when the dust settled

June 24, 2013 by L.S. Johnson

4 rejections, which means 4 pieces went right back out again.  in the meantime, 2200 words of that new story for the call “julie” was too long for (say that 5 times fast), and i’m about halfway through the arc as outlined.  writing to spec, and didn’t i just say i wasn’t going to do that anymore? the needle of my compass wobbles and spins.  but i feel strangely, grimly compelled to meet this submission deadline.  i can write something under 7000 words.  i will write this story.  i will.  i will.
