News from the Grindstone

My latest story is out! ‘Dark Keys, Light Keys’ has just been published online by Sorcerous Signals and its sister print publication, Mystic Signals. I originally wrote this story years ago and its various drafts along the way have included several serious rewrites. I was losing hope of it finding a home when Sorcerous Signals accepted it in January, so it’s great to see it finally out there.

It’s free to read online, so grab a steaming mug of liquorice tea and give it a gander. There’s a friendly little link to make a donation if you enjoy it, and the magazine divides up 75% of the proceeds as a royalty for us contributors. This is pretty unusual… not many magazines pay royalties. If you like what you see (there are ten more pieces in the current issue), consider chucking a few pennies in the pot.

In the meantime, I’ve got four other stories doing the rounds and I’m working on drafts of two more as well as Chapter Three of the novel. Plus, I’m under contract with Stupefying Stories for a piece they accepted last month. So it’s all go!

Success is Relative

Storytelling truly is two-way communication. Even if we as authors write down words and put them out there to share, they make no impact until someone – whether it be a single someone or army of someones – pick them up. Stories may or may not be interesting depending on the receiver’s frame of mind, and therefore vary in their levels of success. Yet what defines success? If an author truly told the story he or she wanted to tell but receivers don’t largely respond to it, yet the author’s goal isn’t quantity but quality, then that seems it should be a success. If an author seeks to have many respond to his or her work and people do, that seems it should be a success – even if many respond negatively, this could be considered a success depending both on the author and the type of responses. If the negative responses are for sloppy storytelling, then perhaps this is not a measure of success; but if the less-than-positive responses are because the author evokes emotions and feelings about the subject matter – even if not in the author’s favor – then perhaps this could be considered successful due to the ability to make an impact.

It’s all situational.
