Got three minutes?
If you're a fan of short fiction, check out the entries in NPR's Three-Minute Fiction Contest. These are stories that can be read in three minutes or less. I've been impressed with what I've read so far. It's a nice way to spend a few spare minutes.

"Heart Surgery" up at Mused
My short story, "Heart Surgery" is up at BellaOnline's literary magazine, Mused.
I have to admit, it's pretty cool seeing my name up there. My only regret is that the submissions process stripped the italics out of my work and apparently they didn't make it back in, so I think that makes the time shifts in the story a little more confusing than they need to be. But still, it's pretty awesome to see my story in print and the photo that accompanies the story is just right on.
Check it out if you have some time. I'd love to know what you think.

An Acceptance at Last
I got some good news Saturday. My short story, "Heart Surgery" was accepted by Mused, the online literary journal of BellaOnline.
This thrilled me to no end. First, of course, because it was an acceptance and those are few and far between in my life lately. But this piece has an interesting history. I submitted it to a Christian contest last year where it didn't place (but fellow Misfit Angie Poole did).
Also, it was the seed that started the novel I'm currently working on. I don't normally consider myself a short story writer. But as I have less time to write, I find that it is an interesting way to play with characters and story ideas.
But what I think is really cool is that Mused is a secular publication, an area I've been thinking about moving toward. So it was wonderful feedback that my writing can succeed in the secular women's fiction world.
I'll post the link to the issue when it comes up, around March 21 I believe.

Yay!
I have Internet!
I don't think I've ever been without it this long since I've had Internet back in, um, 1993? Wow. Anyhow, glad to have one of my permanently-attached appendages back.
On another note, fellow Misfit Elaina has a short story of hers posted at her blog. Go check it out.

Angie at Infuze
Fellow Misfit Angie Poole has her story, "A Stone's Throw" up at Infuze. It's a great example of her pink collar drama. I just love her voice. So go read it; you'll be glad you did.
Update on the Mac:
Still not working. I did recover and backup all my files but I still have some corruption on the hard drive. Trying to determine exactly what it is before I call Apple. AGAIN. Sigh.
