At 11:59p.m. The M.O. submissions close. If your “Wishful Thinking” is still castles in the air, but not on the page, simply writing about 70 words per hour will get you 1000-1500 words on the theme. Thanks to all of you who have already submitted.
Two weeks after the submissions mailbox closes (see more info at the link), we'll have previews of the shortlisted stories, mug shots will appear in our Rogues' Gallery, and after the site visitors make their selections, one of the original short crime stories will be published here. That's not wishful thinking—it's our nefarious master plan! Happy Friday!
