The reading period at many literary magazines begins next month. Some Thursday, some on the 15th, some later on in the fall.

The Literary Lab's anthology (their third) Variations on a Theme is also soliciting submissions until December. BONUS: cash prizes.

Also college football, with the attached guests, traffic and tragedians.

This is just to say, I am camping with a flashlight in my closet for a while longer, pecking away at the keyboard.
