Taking a Chance

Through Twitter, I discovered a horror publisher that's looking for first time writers to submit stories for a zombie anthology. And I decided to take a chance with a story. I've written and re-written and re-re-written the opening more times than I can count and feel as though I;m running in circles so I'm setting a deadline for myself much like we had in the creative writing classes I enjoyed in college.

By July 20th, I will have a rough draft of the story complete and sent to a friend back East to read through. I'll re-work and re-write the story with his help and hopefully have a polished tale to submit by the October 15th submission deadline.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. For years, I've been telling myself to submit something for publication, and now the opportunity's presented itself. I'm going for it!!
