First Original Fiction ever submitted to a publisher · 5:01am Jul 1st, 2016
For the first time, I have submitted a piece of fiction to a publisher in the hopes of them rewarding me with money.
We'll see if they like it.
Write a set of Read It Now reviews
Write a set of Read It Later reviews (3/5 done)
Submit a piece of pony fiction to FIMFiction (5,500 words of ~8,000 done)Submit a piece of original fiction to a publisher
Play at least one video game
Gotta admit, I didn't think that would be the second of my weekly goals that I completed.
Now to get to work on that ponyfic.
You are going to make us ask what it is, aren't you.
Congratulations
Good luck to you, Sir! So far I haven't had much of any success with OF publishing![:ajsleepy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajsleepy.png)
Good job! I'm always happy to see people make some money off of their creativity.

It was submitted to Sanguine Press in response to their call for a story for a collection based around the idea of no regrets - a character having no regrets, or no regrets about something specific. It also called for the entire cast to be persons of color, though I arguably cheated as there are only two characters, and one of them is an AI.
No one has seen it before because, well, it is an original story - not from a writeoff or anything.
Well, other than Bad Horse, who is totally awesome for having looked it over for me a while ago. I ended up revising it and removing a (totally stupid) plot element, as well as working towards clarifying a few things in the text and trying to make the point a bit more obvious.
Supposedly, I'll get a response back within two months. So here's hoping.![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
And even if I don't, well, I got something done.
My weekly goals aren't really just goals for this week - they're going to be goals for every week. Though I don't think I'll be publicly ticking them off in blog posts after this week. Probably.
*sniff* They grow up so fast.
As someone who also has recently exposed their soul to inscrutable corporate entities in hopes of financial compensation, I feel you.
Good luck!![:twilightsmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsmile.png)
I will have:
My thumbs both up and crossed! Or, y'know, whatever the culturally appropriate digit gestures are for this situation....![:twilightblush:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png)

Best of luck!
Good luck!
And could you add to that list "tell bookplayer what I want to say on the romance panel?" Because otherwise I'm going to turn it into a lecture on how RariJack shipping is a sign of mental illness and led directly to Donald Trump's nomination.![:ajsmug:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajsmug.png)
Remember, if they don't publish it, you can always eat them.
Congrats!
For a moment I thought that was your bucket list. You're really procrastinating on playing a video game.
Congratulations and good luck!

Well, we had the Spike is Worst Pony panel at Everfree Northwest.
But yeah, sure, I'll get on that.![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
