"The Regular" by Amy Gantt
It's Sunday, which means it's time for me to write another story, in my quest to fulfill my New Year's resolution, such as it was. "Tell more stories" seemed like such a reasonable thing to promise myself at the beginning of the new year. It's not even the end of January, and I'm having a hard time coming up with a story I both want to and can tell. There are plenty of stories I want to tell, and some of them I probably will at some point, but right now, they're in quarantine.
"Cherry Blossoms" by Theryn Fleming
For many of you, this time of year, almost spring, means piles of slush.
But for us west coasters, it means cherry blossoms.
Sometimes I see statistics on slush piles posted, e.g. if a publication gets 1000 submissions and it publishes 10 of those, then anyone submitting there has a 1% chance of being published. Such stats assume that publication is like a lottery: you buy a ticket and if you're lucky your number is drawn.
Of course, that's crazy.
