May 2025 Recap
At the baseball stadium for a K-pop concert, and they made the scoreboard relevant to the show!

Acceptances received: 1
Rejections received: 30 (+3)
Stories withdrawn: 0
Resubmissions: 32
New Submissions: 2
Stories out at the end of the month: 61
My May numbers are a tiny bit up from April, which is exciting! It’s also kind of surprising, because May was a busy month for me with three K-pop shows (two of which were half-day long events) and a K-pop movie! I also had one acceptance, which was my drabble “Tower Twister” for the Reach Your Apex community drabbles.
For my May goals, I revised two flash fiction pieces, worked a little on guardian, started on a new short story (deer), revised some miscellaneous pieces I had on hand, wrote a couple of book reviews, and edited more Flights of Foundry videos. I didn’t really work on the craft book appendices because I found that a lot of what I was creating with those was not entirely useful to my process.
For June, I’m going to try to:
- Finish writing and revise “deer”
- Finish drafting “guardian”
- Work on another short story (“boy”)
- Write a couple of flash fiction pieces
- Put together and edit a pair of upcoming collections
- Edit more videos from Flights of Foundry
- Write a book review
It’s a shorter list this month, but I know the collections are going to eat up a bit of time, so I’m pacing myself a bit on writing new stuff. But I’ve got a few short stories on my plate, which is exciting!
