A good review! And no rejections!

At last, a Monday that doesn't suck. There's a very positive review of my story "To Someone Who Needs Prayer" (from issue 61 of Hub) over at The Fix (much thanks to [livejournal.com profile] marshall_payne for pointing me to it...and speaking of, Marshall's got an interview with Gregory Frost over there as well).  And the other day, a nice comment about the story showed up in Hub's comments section for the issue, so yayness!

After my last few Monday mornings, I was kind of fearing today. But amazingly, when I got online this morning, there were no rejections in my inbox. And when the postman came a little bit later, there were no dreaded SASEs of Doom awaiting me in the mail. Needless to say, I am much relieved.

Congrats, Barbara! That was one of the more pleasant moments of being a copyeditor. Knowing that Doug Hoffman's review would put a smile on your face. That was late last evening. The first thing I did this morning was read "To Someone Who Needs a Prayer." He's right. Very fine story! :-)

And thanks for the shout-out on Greg's interview.
