This is embarrassing. I was cleaning off the top of my desk a few minutes ago and discovered that I'd had an acceptance on May 23 that I had never recorded anywhere. Anyhow, this one is for a bit of writing-related non-fiction.

I received my 12th acceptance of the year today, this for an 8.800-word bit of crime fiction I submitted in June 2024.

I received my 11th acceptance of the year yesterday evening, after I hd already shut down the computer, for the PI story I submitted earlier that day.

This evening I finished and submitted a 2,500-word PI story written in response to a submission invitation.

Of note, this is the first time in quite a while that I've completed and submitted two stories the same week.

Five

This morning I finished and submitted my fifth story of the year, a rather dark 1,400-word bit of crime fiction.

This morning, I finished and submitted my fourth short story of the year, a 3,800-word story for an invitation-only music-themed crime-fiction anthology.

Three

A few weeks ago, I finished and submitted my third short story of the year, a 4,000-word private eye story that I forgot to note at the time.
