September was a pretty good month for progress on the novel. I finished a first draft of chapter 23 and have done most of the rewrite draft although I’ve slowed down as I need to get into the weeds on some questions of Jewish theology to write a conversation that takes place. Even better, I have a decent sense of where things will be going in chapter 24 which has often not been the case in the past.
The submittable queue, on the other hand, has been sitting at four items without any changes although I did hear back from one journal assuring me that, while they’re further behind than usual, the piece isn’t lost and will get a response. I’m increasingly suspicious that Whiskey Island Magazine may be defunct.
