The hits keep coming. Last week a sudden flu completely wiped me out. After a week of fever, chills and plain simpering my way out of the dredges the flu had dragged me into, complete with too much tea and a pile of backed up work that all needs attention, I received a rejection slip for a short story I submitted for consideration to an anthology weeks ago.

The bright side? The flu is finally leaving, though fatigue and a nasty cough remains I am feeling pretty good. As for the rejection? It’s not my first or second, and I guess somewhere along the way my skin thickened because after the initial disappointment I laughed and decided that I would start the perfect thing to do would be to post the rejected story for any who want to read it.

As a treat, find the rejected story Bone through the short stories link.

Other Writing News?

Well, I just completed a draft for a short story which I intend to publish and submit to some magazines, AND I have also started the first draft of a project that I am pretty excited for. The project ties in with my read/dissect a story or novel a month, which I have actually started on and will post about pretty soon.

The idea is to write a series of short stories and post them on here on the blog, and eventually on Amazon / Kindle. I’m pretty excited by what I have so far but of course a lot of editing and planning etc has to go into it, expect it soon though. Anyone interested in beta reading feel free to contact me at MilaNSankale@gmail.com
