abracanabra: (editing despair)
07/05/10, Monday, no work (4th of July observed!)
* Queried last 2 agents on my A-list for Vicesteed. Now I'm done with Vicesteed until I hear back from somebody, or at least for a couple of months--at which point it'll be time to query my next batch of preferred agents. Whew! Also, this feels so weird!
* Submitted "Demons of Disease" to Bizarro Magazine.
* Submitted "Gone Huntin'" to Flash Me Magazine.
* Submitted "Good Help Is Hard to Find" to Title Goes Here.
* Submitted "Look Back to Keep Her" to Flash Fiction Online.
* Submitted "Road of Dreams" to Neo-Opsis
* Read WritersMarket and Duotrope newsletters and updated market list from them.
* Nonstandard Structure: http://mrissa.livejournal.com/727223.html

Tried to see where I could send "Salvaging Scottwell" next--and blanched at the lack of options for an 11,000 word reprint. Yoiks. Well, I'll Escape Pod it even though it's longer than they usually take, but beyond that...hrm. It's a really good story (other people think so too!) but what to do with it? Small press publication as a novella? Is that too short? (Ideas, [livejournal.com profile] mmeriam?)
abracanabra: (crazy)
So, the short story that I'm about to start...assembling...is told in spam headlines. Like you would see in a Gmail spam folder. The sender, subject line, and the first few words of the email.
So...I need your spam headlines. The stereotypical ones, as well as the ones that just made you grin because they were weird or funny.

Don't tell me I'm the only one who reads her spam folder!

(And yeah, I'm a little worried that this will get my story submission bounced into *actual* spam folders when I try to submit it. We'll see!)
