Dear Writers:
Here is a bit of news that came as a surprise: a short story was rejected by Kzine and I was working to convert to first person. I checked another on-line site where it had been submitted and got some good news.
Quantum Muse, an on-line journal that requires three positive reviews by fellow authors before publication, indicated I had two reviews. I figured I was just unlucky in that no third reviewer was interested enough to read. Then I noticed that I had a message. The message was that "Crystal Bears" would be published in the April edition of Quantum Muse. I went to that issue and behold it was there:
Crystal Bears by R.R. Brooks. Quantum Muse April 2018 (Click on the link or put http://www.quantummuse.com/story.php?RecID=864 in your browser. This is a fantasy piece that explores how doubt can lead to belief.
Too bad I completed the first-person version because I realize now that the published version could have been polished. At any rate, the moral is that you should check your messages.
Bob
