When I first attempted writing fiction in March of 2010, the very first short story I wrote was “The Skeptic”. I have revised and polished it a little here and there, but it has remained largely unchanged. I am happy that the first story I wrote is also the first to be accepted for publication. It will appear in the November 16 issue of Absent Willow Review.
My goal for 2010 was to get at least two stories published. With three months to go, and several other stories currently submitted to various sites, I am excited and optimistic.
