Well, I sent another story to Apex today. A 750 word 'flash' fiction that got a good review from the two beta readers who read it. Oh, and I did check the submission guidelines for a minimum word count before I sent it. Since I didn't see one, I figured they didn't care how long, just how good.
Fingers crossed!
In other news, my WIP now sits at
37667 / 60000 words. 63% done!
Some progress, so I won't flog myself too much. Even slow progress means I'll get there eventually.
