I mentioned in a previous post that I plan to do a lot more writing this summer. And I do. A lot of writing. I've been looking online for literary journals that pay for stories, and came up with a nice long list to submit to.
One of those magazines requests a different genre of writing for each issue, and the upcoming one is surreal fiction. They pay for stories, so of course I'm going to submit something! The only problem is I've honestly never written surreal fiction before in my life.
So I started my story, and, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think it's coming along quite nicely. Not entirely sure where it's going, or exactly what I'm doing, but I'm sure it'll turn out fine.
If the magazine accepts my story, it'll be my first (real) publication ever. Super exciting, right? I was published in my high school's creative writing anthology a couple of times but nobody outside my high school will ever read those so I'm not entirely sure I want to count that.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good literary magazines to submit stories to? I know, it's a shot in the dark, but I thought I would ask anyway. I'm really hoping to actually establish myself as a writer, because that's always been my dream, but breaking into any field is difficult if you don't know how.
I'll keep you updated on my adventures, don't worry!
Love Always,
Kristin
