I’ve worked hard on “Something Rich and Strange”.

I’ve worked hard on “Something Rich and Strange”.

It’s been through five versions and is currently on submission to its seventh market. After feedback from Beneath Ceaseless Skies, I tightened up the beginning. After another rejection or two, I expanded the middle and gave the protagonist more agency. And I’ve just sent it back to The Overcast, whose editor mostly liked it but wanted me to give it a stronger ending. 

Hopefully, they’ll like the changes.

    Short stories are hard!

    They are much harder than novels, certainly on a per-word basis.
