Tweak says, "Killing you with kindness"

The progress on the upcoming short story, Norwood's Discovery is currently on page seven on an 8pt Courier New, 1.5 spaced. I wrote the guidelines out for the Class of 1994 anthology and the way it will be set up as an anthology when it is done will be that font and the formatting will be that too. I find the courier font in that format really readable. The story right now is currently 3,553, not quite the length of The Ferryman's Wheelchair but I am looking to make it longer than Lake Fossil. The only author to see this story in its progress form is Terry Vinson and some members from the second TABLOID PURPOSES. I am looking to write this one for a semi-professional Science Fiction magazine but I have this notion it won't fit because it is too litearry. Sometimes the case when I get rejection letters -- "Too Literary to be Horror, or too horric to be literary." So in that sense of light I have a harder time getting known, but I like being able to get audiences horror writers don't normally get. This is why I am working on this kind of story. The feel I want with this is more of a classic Science Fiction story or Golden Age Science Fiction. This story though will also have a slight Lovecraftian element, though it won't be as overpowering as the last story I did. I can tell right now this story is going to be special for me, as special as LAKE FOSSIL II or LAKE FOSSIL was when I wrote them.
