Charles Anderson Books

Okay-I am going to try a new running shoes. They try to mimic barefoot running, but they are definitely different.

I have to put something on this site.

Okay, here’s is my life right now:

1) I am working twelve hour days right now.

2) I have signed up for 2 marathons. The Colorado Marathon in May, and the Chicago Marathon in November.

3) Being a marathon runner takes alot of time.

3a) I have started speed train on Tuesdays and the first workout was hard, and I was the slowest runner in my group.

4) I have crashed in my writing, and am not writing too much right now.

5) The Mad Cow Books Podcast is going strong, and that makes me happy.

5)

Open Letter to those Editors who rejected me this week:

I have received four form rejection letters this week.

And now I’m feeling like Charlie Brown and I am trying to kick the football. I realize that I might need to send my short stories to a different market. The problem is I know I am sending out good stuff, good short stories, for submission, but I feel like Lucy just keeps yanking the football away every time I get ready to kick. I have no problem with rejections, but time after time I get the same form rejection letters. I have had it. I’m finished with you. I have ran out of stamps and envelopes to mail you. So, I need to find new markets to send my stuff and I’m also going to keep doing what I have been doing lately and creating my own market and hopefully find an audience (my iPhone app is doing well). I know I am whining this morning, but there is only so many times Lucy can yank the football away before I find another place to play, and hopefully a chance to kick a field goal of my own.

I needed to watch this morning.
