I'm finally gonna do it....

[WCGreen]

I am sending my first short story out to see what the wide world thinks about my work...

It's a small story about a man-boy's last night at home before going off to war...

Everyone who reads it starts to cry...

I don't know if that's good or bad...

I'll post the story down the road...

I don't want to jinx it...

1. Excellent---good for you!

Let us know what you hear, and tell us where/when it's published!

2. Best of luck to you, and to your story, Chris...

It's a good one...

Those tears are always good ...

The coming-of-age story is such an interesting genre!

3. Just remember, send, and send and send away

rarely are they accepted on the first try. Not that it does not happen (I sold many to a fringe pub many years ago that way and got spoiled), but if you get it rejected, send it somewhere else.
