untitled hint fiction piece

"I think I am still in love," she thought despite the fact she was alone on a bed, with an impending headache.





HELLO READERS!! 
Just wanted to say HI and I'm still here. 
Currently I am editing some pieces 
and reading. I've stopped reading Life of Pi 
and was about to read A Heartbreaking Work 
of Staggering Genius, when I finally obtained 
a copy of Bite Me. Now after finishing that book, 
I am reading Gods Behaving Badly and I'm 
enjoying it. I'm trying to be a better reader in hopes
of being a better writer. I hope it helps. I will be posting
newer excerpts soon, so tell me if it's working or not. lol. 

Have A Good Holiday Season Everyone!

Did I React The Wrong Way?

We were over. 
You wanted more.
You wouldn’t pick me up. 
And then he approached me. 
Now we’re engaged.
What did you expect?

Nicest Rejection Letter



Dear Afiya Augustine,

Thank you for sending us "Win A Date With Avian's Daughters". We read this piece and your two others. You should know we do think you are a good writer. There are memorable moments. Visit our guidelines page (on the submit tab) to read more about what we're looking for—slipstream, magic realism, a voice that is odd and hard to capture. We also want to let you know that these can definitely find a home out there. Use Duotrope to find a journal that does your work justice.

I submitted two other pieces: Patient Lover and Keepsake. 
I guess these are rejection numbers 50something through 50something.
