Who even knows?
I’m a resident at Ragdale now and trying to wrap up this novel once and for all. I’ve sorely neglected posting on here, ever, at all. I see that I posted press having to do with False Bingo, but not much more than that. I assume it is because my life became subsumed with the academic job market and moving 5 times in 3 years.
Anyway, I’ve been working on some stories in breaks from the novel and submitting them and I’ve racked up 4 rejections, like a pro: The Missouri Review, The Sewanee Review, One Story and Black Warrior Review. All encouraged to submit again, though I’ve lost all my skill at telling which letters are encouraging and which are flat rejections. No problem! Feels good to get a few of those emails again no matter what. Feels like things are moving at least.
