Million Writers: Self Defense

My penultimate plug for the storySouth Million Writers award is Self Defense, published on Pindeldyboz in the summer of 2005. This was actually the source of my first bad review (and second review ever); but while it doesn’t rise to the level of Cheever and Updike, it’s really not a bad story. In fact, I still kind of like it.

Tomorrow I’ll plug the last story on my list–my personal favorite–and recap the suggestions I’ve made over the last couple weeks. Whether or not you’re swayed by my suggestions, though, I do hope you’ll follow a few of my leads and find something to nominate; there’s a lot of great writing on the web.
