I don't subscribe to these magazines, but do look to see what's afoot in the library copy once in a while. No magazine in which I was ever published was one with which I connected through a writer's magazine.

When it comes to learning the writing craft, it's best to learn under an expert directly. My first editor was also such a person. He would call me up long distance and chew me out for an hour over this or that in my manuscript. I learned more from him than from any English teacher.

I *will* be published in Black Static or die trying.

The goal is to build a body of work, increase confidence and expand my skill set to attempt something longer.
