Exercise #188: Craft
Posted 12/1/06

Step five of our five-month journey! For those who missed the first four installments, we’re going to go from idea to submitting for publication with the same piece of work. This is the last step, sending our work off for possible publication.

You received some feedback for your #184, hopefully quite a bit of good tips and helpful comments. (If you participated in NaNoWriMo, you may want to now post your Exercise #184, and do this one next month.) You’ve integrated what you wanted to and now you’re ready for the big step. At the beginning of this journey, we asked you to pick a market.

It’s time! Review your chosen market’s guidelines and tweak your piece (if needed) to match. Send it off to them, wait a day or two, and report back here for your Exercise #188. Tell us:

 * What your market was
 * How you sent your work (email, snail mail, fax)
 * If you received any response (don’t expect one for awhile)
 * How it feels to have done this

There is nothing to critique in these SUBs, so if you're a critiquer looking for something to work on, choose something from the recent archives, if necessary.

We wish you luck!
