No, I haven't forgotten about you, there just hasn't been too much going on in the places I visit around the web. Plus, I've been polishing up stories, writing some new ones and getting them out the door before I change my mind. Something, I've been neglecting to do much of lately, mostly because everything I write these days just doesn't feel like a fit anywhere. So far, two have been accepted ( one in a literary market! ) and I'm waiting to hear back on the other three.
All that aside, I do have a couple of links, a contest, and an anthology market that might be of interest.
Michael Bracken sent me this one. And as he said, there's a lot of good advice for adult writers as well as the children the article is about. http://momshomeroom.msn.com/?topic_id=6§ion_name=InfoList§ion_id=20236559&source=hp&qt1=25051
Over at Pulp Serenade, Cullen Gallagher has posted some of William Campbell Gault's thoughts on writing that were published in Writer's Digest back many years ago, but are still pertinent to a working writer today. http://www.pulpserenade.com/
Patti Abbott gave us a head's up on the Good Housekeeping Short Story Contest. The deadline is Sept 15. First prize is $3000 and possible publication in the May 2010 issue. Second and third prizes are $750 and possible publication on their website. You can find all the details at http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/short-story-contest-rules
And the anthology is from a new press. Pill Hill Press is seeking submissions for their first anthology entitled "The Middle of Nowhere: Horror in Rural America" while they'd like to see stories set in Nebraska, anywhere in rural America is good. 500 to 7500 words and the pay is a penny a word and a copy of the anthology. Details here, http://www.pillhillpress.com/
