Some good news

It feels like ages since I had any good news to report, but this week's been nice to me. I sold a story to My Weekly on Monday. Then I realised I hadn't yet sent them anything since the new guidelines came out, and thought I ought to use up my 'March' sub (they are only accepting one sub per month per author now - see post below). So I went through my 'in the drawer' folder, chose a suitable story and emailed it. I had a reply the very next day, saying my editor liked it and was passing it on to the senior editor for a decision. It seems they have managed to get on top of submissions after their break - hurray! Although I suspect the senior editor is still the bottleneck!
