Submit!

I finished "A Brief Interview with Death" the other day. By finished I mean pumped it up to exactly 2000 words, which is still a bit on the light side for a short story, but I think it works well enough as a quick piece of fluff you can tear through, chuckle at, and remember later in the dark hours of the morning when you should be asleep but instead are up blogging.

And speaking of submitting it turns out Playboy has this thing for college students. The deadline is in February, and I went ahead and read the 2007 story. I have a feeling there are issues of masculinity that must be addressed when writing for this, the ultimate gentleman's magazine. The story wheels in the brain begin to spin.
