Rest in Peace
I can't write and listen to music at the same time, but I take a lot of breaks...coffee, cigarettes and music...usually electric blues...

This is a nice site, btw...and it's designed far better than most "general" story sites in the way the stories are presented on the home page...
I have stories posted on another site for instance, that have less views after a year than my first poem here got in two days...

I started writing for fun about a year and a half ago...now that I have well over 100 stories, plays and poems...yes, I've been busy...I'm just starting to think about actually getting something in print.
I do have a story coming out in an "online magazine" next month, I guess that's something...they only publish three stories a month, but like Lisa said, it would be nice to see something in actual print.
There are various "submission calls" listed on the net. People do get their stuff in print, but it is often a lot of work...editors can be very picky regarding word-count, format, theme, etc...and if you make the slightest error...single space when they want double, for instance, they will reject your work.
I was talking to a local published mystery writer, Jeff Markowitz, who lives in my town last week. He was telling me his publisher has very specific requirements for the "subject" line in e-mails...and if he does not follow the requirement, his publisher will not open his e-mails...
It's just a matter of wanting to see that you can follow directions...we decided...good luck to all here, whatever your goals...
Cheers,
Alan.

Somebody liked it on Facebook, so I thought I'd check it out...
The site looks vaguely familiar for some reason...I feel like I'm getting deja vu...
