Another afternoon has been spent researching publishers accepting work and contests. This research is almost a full-time job in itself. I remember when one only had the Writer's Market Guide in hand and that was your guide to the publishing world.
For those interested I have entered a flash fiction story titled "Ancestor Fish" with authorstand.com. If you sign up, you can read my story and vote on it. This is a new venture for my writing, and I must confess, that "Ancestor Fish" is one of my older stories and I have done nothing with it in more than a decade. I felt it fair to give it a little fresh air, while at the same time not "risking" my more valuable stories.
Also, this website is free to enter stories and there is a cash prize, so those of you with stories might want to consider it.
I am trying hard in my research to find contests with out fees and paying publishers. Right now it appears most contests want money and most publishers aren't paying. At least submitting through the internet means I don't have to pay for stamps and envelopes any more.
P.S. Thank you commenter of my last blog! I really appreciate some else struggling with blogging too.
