It doesn't Shimmer
Well, I got another rejection email. It appears that Shimmer Magazine isn't looking for a story like "Enchanted Land". So I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. There is a place that I'm thinking of sending it off to, since their reading period just opened up November 1st. However, I'd still like to do some research for other markets just in case. I got the rejection when I got sick, so I wasn't able to send it right off again like I would have wanted to. The new goal is to get it out before the end of the week and hope for the best.

Back in the Swing of Things
It's been awhile since I've updated. It's also been awhile since I've written anything at all. I'm just getting over being sick, so I haven't been up for doing much else except for lying around and sleeping all day. I woke up the day before Halloweem with a fever and felt run down. When I finally went to the doctor they diagnosed it as sinusitis. Apparently it started as a cold, probably something I caught from going to Six Flags that weekend, and ended up in my sinuses causing me to have day and night coughing fits. All that that really means is that I didn't get much of anything productive done for the past couple of weeks.
So now that I'm starting to get back on my feet, it means that I'm going to start writing again. Here we go.
