Taking my shot

[cornerofmadness]

So along the lines of you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, I'm sending in my Overlook story in a few minutes as soon as the submission form opens. I had thought I'd titled and formatted this and had a cover letter.

I didn't.

I searched everywhere but all I had was the edited copy but nothing else.

Huh. Mentally breaking the lenten promise of not talking bad about myself.

So no science saturday today because I had to spend hours, formatting, title conjuring (which I hate and I was SURE I had a title for this and that ELD had liked it but neither of us remembered what that was) and making the cover letter.

Weirder, the online places I saved for this no longer had links to the form. To the open call yes but only as a secondary source. I KNOW I had the link to the main source. I did finally find it googling around but damn. It's like this is cursed.

I know I don't have much of a shot not with all the big name horror in this thing already but there is a tiny chance and I'm taking my shot. Say a little wish for luck for me. thanks


Otherwise today was...disappointing because it was beautiful and I wanted to hike and had no one to go with so I didn't (to be fair to myself it would have been insanely crowded) Heck even Jackson was so crowded I had to cut thru housing plans just to keep moving to where I needed to be.

Mom sensed I was depressed today (and funnily enough she had sent me a witches ball set in Weirton this coming October)

Also had a weird dream that my former coworker L was yelling at me for not picking up my phone and I said it was off and I didn't realize it. Why? Your mother keeps calling me. Your father is in a coma. Mom doesn't have L's number and dad is fine just fyi. Thanks for more nightmares brain
