Short Story Submission

So, I didn’t win. Or even make it to the top five, apparently.

I’m oddly unaffected. It was my first short story, I wrote it in three days, and it was a struggle to make it only 800 words. Also, the story contained not only killing machines, but rape machines as well, which I figured could hurt me. But then I thought, fuck it. I want ‘em in there.

I love my little story, though. Maybe I’ll expand on it and submit to somewhere else, or just keep it for future use.

Still, it would have been cool to win. $800 notwithstanding.

Writing on the computer again after a long stretch of longhand.

Also playing The Lovemakers’ “Set Me Free” on repeat cuz it’s awesome.

How much of writing is really just not being crushed by it all? Being able to emerge from all the small defeats, which may leave you drinking in the bathtub, renewed and ready to venture out into the jaws of uncertainty again? There should maybe be a whole class on this.

More long-hand. You probably can’t read any of it, but at least you can see the text now.

Long-handing a robosexual love scene, alllll right.

To the Sympathy for Lady Vengeance soundtrack.
