Two acceptances out of 65 short fiction subs (six still pending), out of 173 submissions over all for the year. More details to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, I&#8217;m continuing with my query package for Space Crazies and proofing the manuscript one last time as #PitMad approaches. The query letter isn&#8217;t coming together, and it&#8217;s&#8230; a cause for anxiety. (Not helping my worry is this will be my fourth kick at the can; it feels like it should be easier, while at the same time I&#8217;m floundering as much as I did with he first one.) Still so much to do and I can&#8217;t believe next week is December! 2019 has been simultaneously two weeks and two years long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also on-going&#8211;and way more calming&#8211;is the reading for our anthology <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"A Quiet Afternoon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/graceandvictory.ca\/submissions.html\" target=\"_blank\">A Quiet Afternoon<\/a><\/em>!
