After August’s first rejection, I’ve got him back out trying to make me some money. I’m not used to this fiction-submitting thing, but I figure I’m a learning-by-doing kinda guy. So, I guess the countdown is started. I know he’s good enough to get published. I think the question is whether he’ll earn me any [...]
