today i sent a story out that was exactly 9,999 words to a market that requires less than 10,000.
i don't think i've ever written anything with such a wonky wordcount. 9,999 is kind of ominous, isn't it?
i think it is. i should have edited to something innocuous like 9,724, or 9,866.
maybe i should edit it into a haiku?
i can do that right now, i think.
dance with madness un-
der ash trees, beautiful ones,
i will guard the tombs
hm... not quite right, but close enough to the tone of the piece.
check back in a year or so and we'll see if anyone bought it. i don't simsub, so this will take a while if the market i intentionally wrote it for passes on it.
