Six Sentences

It finally happened. On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, I had Six Sentences published on the Six Sentences (http://sixsentences.blogspot.com/) website.

I’ve blogged about Six Sentences before, but basically, you write six sentences about anything you want. Then you submit them, along with a short biography. Then you wait to see if they are accepted.

If they are accepted, Robert McEvily (how cool is that name?) will send you an email notifying you. If your submission is not accepted, then you are rewarded with silence. Sounds easy, right?

I had it all figured out. I was submitting my short stories all over, working to get them published. I figured that in

the meantime, I would submit six sentences and get the publication credit for a quick, easy win. Well, that’s not exactly how it worked.

I submitted three separate submissions before one of them was accepted. It wasn’t nearly as easy as I thought it might be. But, I am happy to announce that I now have been published on the Six Sentences website.

But along the way, something else happened. I fell in love with Six Sentences. I’ve been following the accepted submissions for a couple of months now and I have to say that they – for the most part – are pretty dang good. I even went out and bought the book, 6S Volume 1. 6S is short, of course, for 6 Sentences. But also, if you say it out loud, it sounds like success.

Anyway, I’m a fan, not just because they finally published one of my submissions, but because the stuff they publish is pretty good. If you haven’t checked it out, I suggest you do. You might be pleasantly surprised.
