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

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.

This reviewer at Horror Scope liked my story in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #26.

"Rounding out the issue is Michael Merriam’s enchanting myth And a Song in Her Hair. This darkly poetic story tells of a talented musician who is trained by a fairy. The morality tale takes the reader on a downward spiral, exploring the dangers of human greed. This kind of fiction demonstrates just how powerful ASIM can be, and would have worked better as an opener to the issue rather than being buried down the back."


Thanks, navicat, for the heads-up!
