I can’t claim to have a perfect track record. Actually, I can probably claim to have an imperfect track record slowly be marred by being productive.

Pity about that imperfect track record but I’m...

It’s been almost four years since I submitted something to a market. I submitted a short story called Total Immersion to Fantasy and Science Fiction back in 2007 and received my first and only rejection letter.

The past year hasn’t been productive in terms of my career and attempts...
