Bards and Sages Quarterly have accepted my story 'Glass Coffins' for the January 2010 issue. It's a zombie tale set in Hollywood*.
*No animals were injured in the making, but some actors started to rot.
In other news, I entered 'Rosalind Red Stands in the Snow' in the Editor Unleashed Flash Fiction 40 competition. Scary stuff. The Grand Prize winner gets $500 - dream on, sister; and the Editor's Choice winners (of which there will be 39) get $25. There are about 240 stories in the competition so I'm not holding my water (especially as I have a kidney infection). :)

This has to be my most unproductive 'What I did last month' post of the year. Boo me!
Okay, let the shame begin.
1. I wrote three flash length stories.
Strange Tooth - written for and sent to Flash Fiction Online, because they pay a ridiculous amount of money for flash fiction.
Rosalind Red Stands in the Snow - sent to Allegory. I know what I wanted to achieve, but I am not certain I pulled it off.
Leviathan's Moving Theatre - another try at Cinema Spec before it closes. The story I had on hold was rejected on Black Friday.
2. One measly short story.
The Hollow Framework of the Cotton Man - not telling you where I sent that one, but somebody knows (I think).
3. Started the second draft and finally came up with a title for my MG novel: Strange Bones - currently 4740 words in.
4. Not certain this one counts. Signed up for NaNoWriMo (thanks to the guys at Graveside Tales), and within 24 hours had formulated an idea and a bunch of titles. Very excited. Very, very excited. Now I just need 50,000 words worth of plot.
Have a spook-filled, idea busting, October.
Allow me to be the first . . . congrats!
Best of luck in the competetion as well.
Congrats! Hey, we'll share a TOC!!
I hope your kidney infection gets better soon, ick.
Zombies in Hollywood? I love it already.
Good luck with the contest and hope you feel better!
Awesome news, congrats-- and the contest sounds like good fun.
Nothing worse than something that makes your organs hurt. Ugh. My sympathies and wishes for a speedy recovery. Yay for antibiotics!
Congrats and good luck.
Congrats on the sale! And good luck!
Good for you! Congrats! :)
Congratulations! You and K.C., let the world domination begin!
I find the idea of a kidney infection more frightening than zombies. Drink cranberry juice!

Nat - is there an echo in here????
Moving on - Congratulations, Cate. Excellent news - good market.
Congratulations, Cate. ;)
Congratulations.
I just sent a story into Bards and Sages, myself actually. Fingers crossed.
Hope the kidney feels better.
Quick fact: Hollywood is the zombie's real-life natural habitat.
Thanks everyone. Great to be sharing the TOC with you, Kate. :)
And as for the infection, I can know write pain with confidence. :)
Congrats on the acceptance! And dang nabbit, I missed that contest by 1 day I believe.
Barry, I only caught it by one day. :)
