Dinner And A Movie And A Rejection And A Word Meter.

[mmerriam]

careswen and I are going out tonight. Dinner and a movie (a bargain movie actually. Hopkins has one of the best cheap theaters in the twin cities).

So, since I need to shower and trim the yak-fur and otherwise engage in good hygiene, I'm knocking off early today, which means you get the update early.

1200 new words and I've closed out the scene. Jill and Mae got chased by dark creatures before their own bit of dancing around each other could resolve. They're hiding in Jill's townhouse and Mae, desperate for someone to talk to about all this, is spilling her story.

314-day "We felt the characters too weak and the story too slight" rejection from Weird Tales on a story I withdrew two months ago, after they ignored three queries.

Meter, Meter, on the LJ...

*commiserates*

I also withdrew a story from Weird Tales after no response to queries. I expect a rejection any day now.

I've been hearing this from a lot of my writer-buddies. I suspect that when Wildside Press bought Weird Tales from DNA Publications, the slush pile move did not go smoothly.
