Short Story update

Got an email from the publisher that basically said that he had received so many submissions of sufficient quality, that it he had not been able to read all the submissions yet and apologized for any inconvenience. Which might just mean that he's already read mine and it's being considered. I'm going to look at this optimistically and hope mine is one of the high quality ones he mentioned. That way, even if my story isn't ultimately included in the anthology, he already thinks of my writing as high quality, which gives my novel an even better chance than before. This could be very good news for me. :)
