Ginger, the ones you've done on this category have basically blown me apart. They're amazing.
Whoa. Good myth.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I think this has been a great category for everyone. It's a shame we're so familiar with hell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She pulls her feet in closer. Sand pushing up against her reminds her to luxuriate in its warmth, and she sifts the fine grains through her fingers. The water is a regular hiss and slap against sand and stone. It whispers naptime to her, but she fights it, because she can hear him squeezing orange juice in the kitchen. There'll be champagne in it, because there's been champagne in every drink of the past few days ... unless there was rum.
In the moment before he joins her she memorizes blue against blue, the sea against sky, crystal against eternity.

Since I noticed querying came up, I was hoping to get some pointers as well. I have a film essay I was hoping to query a few magazines about. Is there a simple form query anyone might have offhand so that I could get a basic idea of what the professional model for one is?
(edited because I "basically" use the word "basic" to the point of "basic" death.)

I just got hired by one of the biggest lighting design companies in the country to write press releases--$300 a pop!
Not exactly the Great American Novel, but a paying writing gig!
