We shall try again...

I will try again. I managed to find alittle time to rewrite "Craziness of the Dragon". I then submitted it back to Forbidden Publications on the 20th of January.


Now we shall see...


This story seems to have been in constent motion. Just like the main character, J'ar. It first started out to be a 2,000 story for a mag. which went under before it was even printed. Then I added more (up to 5,000 words), so I could submit it to Forbidden Publications. Before it was submitted to Forbidden it was submitted to Mundia Press for a book of short stories and that project got axed too. Now the story stands at a nice 6,890 words and about 60% of it was rewritten.


I believe some of the story line was lost and I also think the rewrite soften it alittle, but this was needed. If it is going to see publication at all, some sacrifices have to be made.

"Craziness" is on hold at this time.

"Craziness of the Dragon" was NOT accepted by Forbidden Publications. So now it is on hold. I'm not sure if I'm willing (right now) to re-work this story to have it put on hold for another four months. It is only a five thousand word story. I have 're-worked' this story twice to have Forbidden tell me to 're-work' again and resubmit it...I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.
