Route 66… (acceptance, and plug!)

Just had a short (and I mean short) accepted to Route 66, a new upcoming magazine with a slightly new and innovative theme. Stories that can fit inside your pocket… Stories that are exactly 66 words in length… No more, no less. Talk about a written exercise. It took me about 2 hours to chop words for my accepted tale, entitled: “The Mortician’s Pride.”

Kimberly Raiser, talented and refreshing author-turned editor, is looking for submissions for the premiere issue, and I promised I’d give her a little plug. Route 66 will accept any genre and debut in Early 2008. Can you write a story in exactly 66 words?
