Things never work out how I imagine.  Remember that story with the blue hand a few posts down?  Still not finished.  On the other hand, I'm sitting on a completed manuscript and another story that's coming together pretty nicely.  Neither of those were on any sort of schedule.

I feel kinda bad because this blog/site was started with the intention of hosting completed works.  However, not a lot of people click on here whose first name isn't Andy.  Legitimately publishing work will help me find an audience, gain some needed experience in the field, and maybe make a buck or two.

I've decided to submit my finished manuscript to Beyond Centauri.  It's a quarterly science fiction publication that focuses on younger audiences and family-friendly stories.  Surprisingly, my work fits this description (in my mind, of course).  I know rejection is the most likely outcome, but submitting is an achievement by itself.
