A Little Short Story Luck for St. Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Today is also my lovely parents' anniversary, so this date always had a warm and fuzzy place in my heart. Congratulations, mom and dad!

This year, I wish the rest of my readers plenty of luck and plenty of stories--and I hope the two meet in a literary journal, magazine, or novel with your name on top.

It's not all about luck, however. For your green-beer drinking pleasure here are 27 Reasons Why Your Short Story Was Rejected, straight from a publication that made blogged headlines by rejecting a whole bunch of short stories:

"Faux jollity. Particularly faux jollity centred around pubs, and particularly around pubs in Ireland. Industrially extruded quantities of guff about distant histories in small town life. Standing jokes that should have been left where they toppled."
