OK, it isn't that big a deal, but I got my very first writing feedback today. As a bonus, it was positive! HAPPY DANCE!
Granted, it was feedback on the first two sentences of my work in progress, but still, HAPPY DANCE!
I submitted those two sentences in response to this compelling tweet: "RT @buffysquirrel: tweet openings to short stories to get my opinion on whether i'd read on; tag with #gudslush; please RT" It turns out that buffysquirrel is an editor at GUD Magazine, and they are currently accepting submissions for their next issue. Sweet!
Thus encouraged, I also entered the #GhostsOfBelfast twitfic contest. Writing very (very) short fiction is a really fun challenge. I highly recommend it to anyone who aspires to Strunk & White's acme, "make every word tell."*
*I think that's right. I seem to have mislaid my copy. Again.
