TWD: The Resubmitteding

A while back I sent a story in to The Wittenburg Door for (hopeful) publication. A story and a sidebar, actually. I got a note back from the editor saying I stood a better chance if I resubmitted just the sidebar with a short intro. Thanked him and got to work.

The piece went from 600 words down to 150 (60-ish in the short intro). Resubmitted last night, got an encouraging note (included "MUCH better") from the editor this morning. Now it goes to the editorial board for a thumbs-up or -down.

I'll keep you posted.
