New Stories

 My story, "I Was Meant to Live Another Thousand Years," is up at Kaleidotrope right now. Take a look: https://kaleidotrope.net/summer-2021/i-was-meant-to-live-another-thousand-years-by-matthew-sanborn-smith/

In the past couple of weeks I've written a couple of short pieces. A twitfic called "Afterglow," (Number 180 of the One-Thousand) and a flash piece (unless you feel 1,400 words is too long for a flash piece) called "Tempus Fuhg It."  (181)

Colonoscopy tomorrow! How exciting. An all-translucent liquid diet yesterday and today, three(!) rounds of laxatives, and a sore bum-bum.

Where was I?

Wow. I had to come here to look something up and realized I haven't posted in six months! Here are a few new things: I've been vaccinated, I recently went out and did stuff with friends for the first time in sixteen months, and I have a new story coming out in Kaleidotrope next month called, "I Was Meant to Live Another Thousand Years." I'll try to link it here when it comes out, and I'll try to post more often. Bye!

168 And A Sale

Just finished story number 168 last night, "Three Fates," and sent it off to an editor. If I can stick to my schedule, these numbers will be falling more rapidly than they have in years.

I sold story 165, "I Was Meant to Live Another Thousand Years," to Kaleidotrope last night. Don't look for it till 2021, though. Fred at Kaleidotrope published my story, "Three Kingdoms" (no relation to "Three Fates") in 2014. I'll let you know when it's available.
