Oh, I am so glad my first attempt at a story for The Black Garden anthology was rejected as it spurred me on to try again, and I really, really like my second attempt. Whether Christopher does is another matter of course.
Have just submitted Manipulating Paper Birds. Gulp!
Now, having deserved a well-earned rest, I'm off to watch the 3rd Planet of the Apes movie. I'm working my way through the box set - the 2nd movie was laughably atrocious, I hope this one fears better. Ooh, actually typing that makes me wonder if that's an omen for the above submission. Maybe it will be better luck third time around with that too... Have I ever mentioned that I'm an optimistic pessimist???
I've finished my story Through the Warped Eye of Death and have submitted it to The Black Garden anthology. I spent half of yesterday trying to come up with a decent title.

When it comes to political geography, the twenty-first century has so far been especially concerned with issues of national sovereignty and in some circles, a renewed interest in the old maxim that good fences make good neighbors. Theoretically, those with means are free to move about the globe as the please, but in doing so, these individuals often navigate contentious borderlands. It interests me then, that in Southwestern Africa, three countries have worked together for the last seven years to literally remove physical and political barriers with the goal of creating a viable Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park.

Good luck with the story!
Loving that title! I got my second rejection for my new story over the weekend from TBG. I think I will gracefully bow out now...
Thanks girls.
Barry - It's a shame it didn't make it; MPB will probably be my last attempt as well. At least we tried. :)
Good luck, Catherine. Very intriguing title. Fingers crossed for you. :o)
