Late last week, I got a pretty cool email (and that's the best way I can phrase it).
"Good work. We'd like to use this in a future issue of Word Riot, most likely November's."
It was from Jackie Corley, publisher of Word Riot. It's a quality literary journal that emphasizes experimental and dangerous writing. Their slogan is "Good writing. No remorse."
They've accepted my short story, "The Watcher," a piece about a store security guard coming off a meth binge. Some of you might remember me passing it around for critiques. All of you that added your input, thanks.
It's a sense of accomplishment because it's my first real published piece of short fiction. It feels even better because they rejected one of my earlier works. So, check out "The Watcher" in November or whenever it comes on.
Also, become a fan of theirs on Facebook.
