=) I am behind on updating my website, my web company changed to some offshoot and sent me a new startup packet a few months ago. Once I get all the info again I'll be able to update again. Then you can see the newer works I've been up to. 

Watch me, I understand I am powerful, now see what I become when I am focused and truely understand myself......

It's the shortest story I've published to date, and is the first to be available as free text.

Okay, that was delightfully twisted.
And I wasn't aware of that market before. Pro rates, cool. Now to see what I can squeeze into 750 words.

Now, to wait 6-12 months to hear anything. That's why I like short fiction better, heh *grin*
Wow, that's awesome!

I can only imagine how exciting that must be.

It's an area where around 13 or so stores in a walking area have artists set up their art on display. On average there is about 33 artists total. I am displaying in a statuary with gothic statues and fantasy sculptures.
Kick arse update!!! =) I was approached by Eric Cagle of Privateer Press he wants me for "No Quater" gaming magazine, working pirate/steampunkish/futuristic weapon-y mixed art with characters and cityscapes...
I'll have to get a set of entries in for one last try before I start working with them and they start paying me.
I don't know how I've missed seeing this for so long, Ms Jordan -- but HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you (even tho hugely Belated, too) !!!

Well done!
My only success has been at collecting rejection slips. Got twelve so far, three of which were personal. Two said that the stories (two different stories) both had great imagery, but weren't too satisfied with the plot structure. The third said "Well written and publishable," adding only that the story was too "negative" for the publication's preferences.
Done with finals after Tuesday. That means... time to write new stories! I'm going to shoot for at least 1 new story every 1-2 weeks this summer.
No, I WILL write at least 1 new story (first draft) every week this summer.
Yes. That's how it's going to work.
And I'm going to hopefully clean my bedroom and car, and work out. Hopefully. Stories come first, though. Hehe.

Thanks...yes Inter-Galactic Medicine Show.
It is considered by theSFWA as a professional market as it meets their criteria--same as WOTF.

My story "Life's a Grind" is out in the current issue of Murky Depths, a British Horror mag, if anyone's ever heard of it. Not much compared to getting into IGMS(great job, skadder!) but I'm pretty excited about it.
It's print only, so I won't really expect many of you to read it, but it is a great little magazine. Sort of a cross between graphic novels(shorts though) and regular stories.
