I churned out a so/so story that hasn't found a home. But I was pleasantly surprised when I reread it and the writing sparkled in places. It was the meh storyline that killed it.<br /><br />I can't decide if I should overhaul it, though, because it seems like so much work. Or I could submit it to a lower tier market who might be more interested.<br /><br />I have published pieces that I cringe at, though. Uh. Somebody should have stopped me. <br /><br />I really enjoyed this post.<br /><br />-MercedesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125812643147867559.post-25491851682519846622009-09-15T12:49:15.091-05:002009-09-15T12:49:15.091-05:00I'm constantly surprised.
