Cerys is much better after her Tonsillitis and has gone back to school today.
So, the story I was debating where to send, either TABFF or the Australian magazine That's Life Fast Fiction. I have decided, after much deliberation, to submit to TABFF. I haven't ruled out the Australian market but I need to do a little more research and write a new story tailored specifically for them. That's not to say it will be full of Australian cliche's (G'day Mate) but there are certain things that have a different name/meaning there. I want to create a good impression. I have read comments from magazine editors commenting on writers (not by name) who obviously haven't bothered to research their market. I am not going to be one of those.
Anyhow, on the back boiler there a three more stories waiting to be shaped, moulded and twisted into shape. It's not a simple case of choosing one to get on with - the story chooses its time. In other words it stomps around in my head demanding I spend time with it.
About Me
- Rae Argent
- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.
