Nehi and New Shoes

Have you ever wanted something so bad you could just taste it? Feel it in your hands or on your feet? Only to get it and find out it wasn't what had hoped it would be at all? I know I have.
I came across this little story over on Granny Sue's blog and just couldn't pass up the chance to link it here. I didn't have a little wagon, Sue, I threw mine in an old burlap sack. But I'm sure the money spent just about the same. ;)

Submissions

If you are a writer, who lives in Appalachia or is from there or has roots there, you may submit work to us for publication.

We encourage writers of all skill levels to submit work here. The only way to get better at the craft of writing is to practice it.

If you are an exceptional writer, requiring little or no editing, you may be offered a position as a staff writer and can forego the submissions process.

Submissions may be sent to:

We here at the Appalachian Writers Web Journal are looking forward to your submissions.

Code of the Hills

The rules of behavior here at the Appalachian Writers are fairly simple and straightforward:

1 - No abuse or attacks on any contributor or guest will be tolerate. This is the first and only warning on that account.

2 - Nothing of an obscene or pornographic nature will be tolerated here. We want this to be a place our children and grandmothers can come to as well. We are not teetotlers and will allow a certain levity in language for stories, poems and comments, but please just use good taste and discretion.

3 - Please feel free, in fact encouraged, to comment on the pieces our contributors have offered for your reading enjoyment. If you have a criticism on a piece of work, that is fine, too. We are thick-skinned up to a point. Just make sure that your critiques are done in a way to encourage improvement in the way we write for you and not just mean-spirited poor-mouthing.

That ought to just about do it. Just behave like you would if your momma was watching, she just might be. You know how sneaky they can be!
