Look, if you say to me what else could I have done, I'm going to brainstorm a list of about 5 actions you could've taken instead and then eight to ten hours later realize you were not seriously asking, the first, second or third time you said it so I didn't really need to repeat my list or add to it

Re: the whole editors know in a sentence or 2 if a submitted story is a "no" Everyone's clear that "no" doesn't mean story bad, right? "No" = doesn't fit the vibe they're seeking As a reader I can tell if a story's likely to be my thing or not in the first paragraph. Whether promise is kept...eh

Grocery shopped just before lunch (because I needed food to eat for lunch) and bought ALL the food And for anyone thinking that's why you shouldn't shop hungry NO When I do shop before meals that's when my brain's like we can make this, we can have that and I'm inspired to cook & buy quick fixes

Kaleidotrope closes to fiction and poetry submissions after November 30. And while I have not made an official announcement about this, I am very unlikely to be open again until 2026. So if you're interest, I'd advise you to act accordingly.

I've cut back on the writing/story subbing thing & had forgotten the part where you search the grinder for open pubs for a story you want to fling at a slushpile & somewhere between reading guidelines & playing matchmaker you submit a slew of stories (7!) but not the one the search was based on
