They say that things come in three for some reasons, which never made one damn bit of sense to me, but this time it’s most certainly true in several ways. Cirque Journal has announced they plan to publish my story, Man of the House, in their next issue. Not only is this the third day in a row of good writing news for me, this is also the third time Cirque will be publishing one of my stories, and the third issue in a row of Cirque I’ll be published in. It’s a three extravaganza. Not only that, but this story was rejected 24 times prior to being accepted, which is divisible by three, which is a bit of a stretch, but what the hell, why not. This is also my 33rd short story to be accepted for publication. There’s probably also all sorts of other hidden threes somehow involved, but I’ll leave figuring out those to future scholars.
Anyways, unfortunately you’re going to have to wait for it to be officially published before you can read it, probably in three months, but in the mean time, I highly suggest you check out my writing project, The People’s Republic of 47th and Long, a book in which I add a new section everyday.
