Woo! I've been invited to submit a novelette, if I can dust something off that fits the theme, and finish it in nine days. 🤞
I was *wondering* how I was going to get my writing mojo back (weird thing to say, as someone who publishes at least four essays a week, I know). I did submit to Imagine 2200, but I also stared at a notebook yesterday to no avail, having forgotten the first thing about writing stories. 🙃
Time for another pace-and-think while I scheme around a "trunk" story! #AmPreWriting
*To be super clear, "invited to submit" is not the same as being guaranteed a sale. I know I'm in competition with a group of others for a single slot, which is why I feel okay about submitting to this semi-closed call. 👌
In my industry, the best way to approach any submission is with this simple mantra:
"It's a rejection until it's an acceptance."
No expectations, no disappointment when they pass on you and choose someone else!
(But at least I'll get back into the rhythm of submitting too!)
