So it is self-serving, sure, but also serving the community, in a way.<br /><br />Though also I can understand the hesitation, to completely non-sequitor say something like "Oh and by the way, my latest short story, "Black Market Cheerios", is now available in Lamplight magazine!" But, true story. My latest short story is indeed in <a href="https://apokrupha.com/product/lamplight-volume-8-issue-2/" rel="nofollow">volume 8 issue 2</a> of Lamplight, a double example of persistence paying off. It was the story's 28th submission (many of those after a HEAVY rewrite), my 8th submission to Lamplight, and it was accepted at 282 days.Jennifer R.

I don't understand why, in this age, anyone would continue posting that kind of thing, and you know it's a human to get past the captcha, unless they get paid by the comment. I hate to see it anywhere but it especially irks me here and I'm not sure why. It just does.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-86437502857475288302020-03-12T07:37:24.237-04:002020-03-12T07:37:24.237-04:00I'm really not comfortable with #6 since it...I'm really not comfortable with #6 since it's seems self-serving.

Of course, you can search the archives, but the Treasure Chest is a good place to start. And let me know if you have gems to add.
