Killing Me Softly
It's been almost eight months now, and those who will ever respond have done so by now. I have no idea if my "contributions" even reached the half dozen I never heard from. Two accepted and published. The rest said "no thanks, Charlie". But Jason Sanford, editor at StorySouth, went the second mile. I appreciate that. He wrote to say he was put off by the title. He loved the writing of the piece and would like to read more of my work. But the ending, for such a long piece, didn't have the punch he wanted. That's information I can use. That helps make me a better writer.
StorySouth is quite a nice online literary magazine from my home state of Alabama. Go by and give it a look.

Not to worry. It'll come when you least expect it.

Congratulations on the two acceptances and the positive response from StorySouth! That's actually a VERY good return/showing! Well done, Fred!! :)
