Tin House is Go!

OK, so I finished the Tin House submission. I'm taking it up to the Post Office when I pick up daughter from school. I have to say, it doesn't feel quite *finished*. I've never been one who feels comfortable ripping the final page from the typewriter platen and shoving it into the hands of a desperately waiting copyboy. I am pretty geological my approach to writing. I like to polish and repolish, weather my prose with the water and wind and sand of my genius, impart a rich green patina to my words through the slow oxidization of my wit.
(Heh heh heh.)
Anyway, we shall see. Tin House would be a cool market to break, but if they don't take it, there are plenty of other markets to send it to. The neat thing is that it's only 3,500 words, which is quite short for me, and quite a nice saleable length.
Now, for my next trick, I shall trim the story I'm sending to Paradox, so that I can send it off first thing tomorrow.

I'm just looking over the story I want to send to Paradox, and realizing it's going to need a lot more work than just trimming. Le sigh.

(Sorry to subject you to my half-baked knowledge of not just one, but two romance languages ... )

Thank you for your time and kind attention and please accept my apologies if I have bothered you before.Often, I receive E-mail addresses from friends - not the zine's so I can't follow instructions until after I hear from you. And since I have lost most of my records, I can not recall if I sent you this query before. Again I am sorry for this; however, let me add since I get many irate comebacks from editors who don't like to read and should there fore be in another calling - I don't have your zine to see a "submission info" vilhotti.at.peoplepc.com .
I know you must put much effort and time in your endeavor - without much thanks. I thank you. Jerry V
