Still More Submissions

Another effort for The First Line entitled "Can't Be Happy Today, But Tomorrow", hopefully for their Fall 2004 issue. The story was required to begin with the first line "I was born Rosa Carlotta Silvana Grisanti, but in the mid-Eighties, I legally changed my name to Eve." I'm pretty pleased with the results, and Julie said she liked it too. As always, I publish it in Writings if and when it gets declined.

Also, I'm expecting final notification from Literal Latte this week on the results of their Fiction Awards--I entered "Mahalia" back in January. (The same story which was recently declined by Glimmer Train; yes, I did simultaneous submissions. Forgive me.) I'm really proud of this story and think I can get it published somewhere, so I probably won't ever web-publish it as I make the rounds of various journals. If you'd like to read it, let me know.
