I am just putting the final touches on a submission for 100 Stories for Queensland. Like 100 Stories for Haiti and 50 S...

There is a place I am trying to find. A rare and mysterious place. It lies between the tall cragged peaks of denial and the void of depression. I know there is a middle ground, but somehow I keep going from one to the other.

Writing is hard… No, no, that's not it. Writing is not hard; getting your writing read is hard. Hmm, that's not exactly it either. Dealing with the rejection that goes with writing is hard. Actually dealing with success is hard too.

Actually, "50 Stories for Pakistan" has been out since October 28th, and I am remiss in blogging about it. This is in no way a comment on my enthusiasm for it, just a testament to just how busy things have been.

Once again he sent the call out for submissions, this time a limit of 500 works and "no stories with any violence, death, or mass destruction." With 20 million people displaced by the flooding, I was inspired by by the effort.
