This was riveting and absorbing, and so, so sad. I loved how you painted in the world!

All rehearsals for the relevant role will now include a briefing from counsel and a short lecture on the subject of plausible deniability

They'll none of them be missed!!

Oh wow, congratulations! It's a gorgeously rich and atmospheric story!

Well, I'm glad it's not just me 😅 Perhaps the market is tougher for everyone

I posted about how proud I was to have clocked up 55 rejections, with 8 submissions outstanding and one acceptance... and that promptly became 59 rejections with 4 outstanding and one acceptance 😂 I have visions of the enchanted mop & bucket from Fantasia going through everyone's inboxes.

I've had four in the last two days haha 🥲 Solidarity

Totting up my submissions, this year I've had 55 rejections, eight submissions outstanding, and one acceptance. I often think that someone who tried harder would have been published more by now, but on reflection, those submission numbers are trying quite hard.

Today I sent out six stories, in the last month I've had six rejections, we'll see what happens.

To every cloud a silver lining, apparently...?

This is so lovely and generous.

You forgot to add that it was your suggestions which inspired those final edits 😁 Thank you again for the critique and for being so generous with your time!

"The poison seeped in long ago, like heavy metal in the water table, and it’s too late to point at the source and shout “Aha!” when people start dying. The beginning has already happened."

Jesus Christ that's a new nightmare. Hope you're not in too much pain 😬
