I wrote the story Farewell Tour, 4800 words today in about three hours. I read it over twice to proofread it and submitted it a few minutes later. About three hours later I got the acceptance. That’s got to be a record.

The editor wrote: I don’t want this to come across insincere or cheesy, but I cried reading your story. I also got goosebumps on the spot.

You can’t beat that with a stick.
