Thinking about Publishing

I think it’s time to submit stuff places.

Once upon a time, I belonged to Boot Camp Keegan, a place for writers of short stories who want or need to be trained in the art of writing and getting published.

The guy who runs it, known most widely as Alex Keegan in the virtual world, is like the Gordon Ramsay of short-storyland.  He’s as energetic and as insulting as the chef is, but the results are often worth the abuse.

Anyhow,  one of the things that you learn as part of the Keegan world is that the key to success is “read, read, read, write, write, write, submit, submit, submit”.  Makes sense.

So.  I’m thinking it’s time to submit, submit, submit.  I already do the rest.

I may let you know how it goes.

Or not.

You know the Bible 100%!
 

Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses – you know it all! You are fantastic!

Hell. I figured if Harry the Atheist could get 92%, I must be able to beat that.

Good to see my upbringing was not in vain.

But Harry is right — it’s much too easy a quiz. And (not to be a pedant, but) it’s not entirely accurate either. Some questions have two correct answers.

And Baalam’s transportation was an ass.
