Nary a boat nor a fish to be seen today. Just the crossword puzzle and a lot of Kaleidotrope reading.
I’m down to about twenty or so submissions still waiting to be read, which is good because the zine opens back up to submissions at the start of July. I don’t know that I’m going to advertise that fact all too much, if only to give myself a little bit of breathing room. I’m still figuring out how many stories I can afford to print every issue at the new rate of a cent a word — especially with no money coming in — and right now I need to focus first on getting the Summer issue on this year up in a timely fashion.
But stuff that comes in starting next Sunday…well, I guess I’m going to have to read it.
Right now, though, I’ve just sent out a small batch of fifty rejection letters, so I could use a small break.
