Long time no visit, apologies
Thought I'd pass on some encouraging advice.
Many moons/months ago I had a belly full of creative fire, and pumped out a couple of short stories. I'd just found a website that took submissions. So without further ado, I submitted.
At least three months later they got back to me saying if I fixed up one of the stories, they'd publish it.
A Magic Sword is the result.
Every Day Fiction is a cool site. And for me, it's my first actual (other than self-, ha ha) published story.
So the advice is:
There's plenty of places on the web to submit stories too. Plenty. And because you're writing short stories, you can keep 'em coming, churn them out, King-style.
Kudos!
