Clearing out some submissions

I’ve had a number of rejections in the last month or so, and my ‘to submit’ pile has grown accordingly. Fortunately I have a to-do system that excels at continuously nagging me until I give in and clear anything outstanding (except, it appears, to actually write something).

Therefore I’ve dedicated an entire evening to submitting:

Waterwall to Clarkesworld Magazine (who, it must be said, has an awesome on-line submission system)
Dead Angels to Reflection’s Edge
Forever Morning to Cutting Block Press
Toby See The Stars to The Fifth Wednesday Journal

I wish, I really wish somebody invented a standard document format with which all submissions could be based on*. Each of the above subs required modifications for each publication. Finding the right magazine is easy. Getting the format right is the time-killer.

* yes, one exists, but it isn’t adhered to.
