Aberrant Dreams

Besides my own, I've just been accepted on as an editor for Aberrant Dreams. I found the request at www.ralan.com and anyone who writes spec fiction and hasn't checked this site out, should for the extensive market list.

Why did I do this when I'm working 60 hours a week? Because I'm insane. But there are other reasons. I'll probably start to figure out more why some of my stories don't make it, though I think it's that some lack pizazz. Voice is such an important thing in writing and if it's not unique enough it sounds like a thousand ciphers.

And of course should a friend of mine ever start the mag she's talked about this experience will come in quite handy. Always looking to expand my editorial horizons. I'll have a good background for this to begin with because of years of being a copyeditor and a spec writer myself, not to mention reader.
