Doh!

So much for hitting the April 8th deadline :-D Two things conspired against me--I didn't realize that 4:59AM April 8th in my timezone wasn't 4:59AM April 8th in the publisher's timezone. I also, foolishly, cut my fingertip open while slicing bread. My finger bled and bled and once I convinced my husband that a band-aid wasn't going to cut it, he drove out to the all-night pharmacy and bought gauze pads, paper tape and more. No, a band-aid wasn't going to cut it. I used my first aid skills on myself and dressed the wound quite nicely.

When the sting subsided and I returned to my computer to submit the story, the submission form had closed! I'm not sad, although I was a little astounded. I checked a time map and I missed the window by seven minutes. Seven measly minutes!

On the plus side, we're now stocked for the next flesh wound and I still have a polished story to send out in the world!
