devirginized

last week, i finally granted one of the short fiction i wrote a constrained finish. constrained, probably because i had my sights locked on Dean Alfar's call for submission on a spec fic anthology he's been tasked to compile, and there was an inexplicable urgency to put the pen into it.

the short fic, i wrote, while more or less speculative in nature doesn't entirely fall in his definition of spec fic---which, according to him, should categorically include anything supernatural, fantasy and stuff. anyway, i've been writing that story for three years until i decided that i should (it was more of a personal desire, above anything else) submit it and see what happens next.

i'm quite aware of the consequences, though. grammatical quirks and whatnots might [and i'm positively certain] derail my chance of having someone recognize what i've written. and to think of the fact that i haven't really allowed anyone to read any of those that i wrote [except for a selected few, that even today, has exercised the vow of secrecy i had them sign under duress, hehe], consider this to be a popping of my literary cherry.

hm, i'll get to used to it. somehow.
