grief and bean burritos
two great tastes that taste great together
a couple years ago i wrote a story about taco bell and then i thought oh shit. no one but taco bell quarterly will publish this. so i sent it to them, but they didn’t publish it. oh well, i thought. it is unpublishable. spoiler: it was not.
i sent it out to a few other magazines anyway. truly just a few! lightspeed (who said no), if there’s anyone left, and heartlines. i got an acceptance from if there’s anyone left and withdrew from heartlines. this all happened within maybe a year and a quarter after i wrote it. (it usually takes…a lot longer and/or more tries to sell a story if you are not famous, and i assume some time even if you are.)
the beautiful print and ebook anthology came out in the spring, and now my story is available to read for free!
cw: grief, dead brother
i have about a million other things to tell you, so i will try to send another letter sooner this time.
xxoo,
