A Couple of Deadlines Coming Up - Why Not Submit?

Sorry the resolutions below weren't up until January 2, but I was felled by a nasty cold. Still am, in fact. Shortly going downstairs for a cup of tea by the fire.

Meanwhile, remember that the deadlines for Glimmer Train's Very Short Fiction Award and Fiction Open are coming up: January 11 for the Fiction Open, January 31 for the Very Short Fiction Award. What the heck, make this part of your New Year's resolutions! Go to their site, Glimmer Train, click on Online Submissions and set up your account (very easy) and follow the instructions to submit. You pay your contest fee with a credit card. Easy as pie. You must have something kicking around to submit, or something you could pull together. Five minutes from now, you can have entered a fiction contest. You never know, sometimes the stuff you just send out there without sweating over it too much is your best work, and gets you the most attention. Go for it.
