Living the Fictional Dream

Erin M. Kinch’s musings upon the writing profession

Proofs

This morning, when I checked my email, I found the proof for “Dinner for Three,” a story set in my superhero universe that is coming out in the next issue of A Thousand Faces.

There is something fun about looking over a proof of my very own story. It’s a little sneak peek as to what it will look like when it’s published. And a proof makes the acceptance real, at least to me. I may have had an email acceptance sitting in my inbox for the past six months, but now the story is actually here, right in front of me.

I also revised my bio, which was fun. I was able to mention my baby girl in it, which gave me a happy.

All in all, a very pleasant morning. I hope you all have some good news to brighten your day. And, hey, if you haven’t read issue 9 of ATF, click on the link above and check it out. There are some really good superhero stories in this issue, including one by my writing group mate, Stephanie.

    Erin:

    Hey! We get to have our names on the same magazine cover. ;)

    My story, “A Son of the Night”, will be in the next A Thousand Faces issue, too. I just got done going over the proof.

    I look forward to reading “Dinner for Three”.

    We’ll be TOC buddies — awesome! ATF publishes so many of my favorite writers. I always feel I’m in good company. :-)
