Holy shit I did it. After getting some sleep last night, about the first thing I did was turn on the computer, login, and go to a magazine's website and go through the submission process. Granted, the waiting time is about 3 months, so I'll probably have forgotten about it by the time they reply*, but still, I fucking did it.

Of course, now I'm worried that I forgot to attach the story to my submission e-mail, and that I'll look like a complete doffus, but whatever. It's done, and I'm hoping for the best.

On the flip side of that news: I think I've already been published at the small scale. The college I went to publishes an annual writing magazine and a few of my stories were supposed to be in there. I don't know if it's actually been published, it was supposed to have gone out in June, with contributor copies to be mailed out shortly after, but I haven't heard anything about it. The college has been cutting the budget for the Writing department, leaving mainly the creative writing courses and programs out in the cold, so it wouldn't surprise me if the magazine's been delayed or (knock on wood) axed. I should follow up on this.


*Yeah, right. Like I'd forget that.
