Living the Fictional Dream

Erin M. Kinch’s musings upon the writing profession

Good News in the Midst of the Frenzy

November 06th, 2008 | Category: My Stories, NaNoWriMo, Writing

After the write-in tonight (where I finally broke 8,000 words, yeah!), I opened up my email account to find an acceptance letter. What a nice thing to hear in the midst of all this NaNo-ing. I’m at that point in my novel where I hate it, so a validation of my writing skills is very refreshing.

Every Day Fiction is going to publish my story, “The Care and Feeding of Your Sleeping Knight.” Of course, y’all will be the first ones to know when the publication date is set. I wonder if it will appear in December, or if I will have to wait until 2009.

Hmm… I only have one story left in the EDF submission queue. I might have to remedy that. Though… I don’t know when I’ll have the time with all this novelling. Writing for length is such a different mindset than writing for writing flash.

And, speaking of NaNo (as always these days), I’d better go… I might be able to get a few hundred more words before bedtime!

    Good for you. I’m jealous because other things with deadlines (jewelry boutique) have gotten in the way of my Nano pledge. Dang me! But I’m glad to see you’re filling the world with new sentences!!! Can’t wait to find out to Care and Feed a Sleeping Knight. Love that title. You go girl.

    Aside: Gosh I hate that expression but it says what I mean.

    Thanks, Gay! Good luck with the jewelry, and it’s not too late to get back into the NaNo frenzy, if you’re so inclined. :-)

    Congratulations, Erin, on both the NaNo progress and the EDF story. What’s the thing about bated breath? That’s me! :)
