Did you happen to see this piece by Eli Grober on his "tag lines for US Presidents if they were on the Real Housewives" chapter in his book, This Won't Help? I know there is always cross pollination with ideas out there...and these are different-ish jokes...but I was struck by the similarities..... ihttps://substack.com/inbox/post/141790482
This was my first short story accepted by a relatively big and well respected mag. Since then I haven’t submitted much due to lack of time and choosing to focus my efforts on Substack, but I’d like to go for big publications in some near future. I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for offering to read!
This is so great! I submitted over fifty times before I had my first McSweeney’s acceptance and love hearing about others that finally break through. (https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/cursed-volcano-or-not-were-buying-this-house-sight-unseen)
Meanwhile, I was so glad to be able to submit and publish in places like Points in Case and Slackjaw to keep me motivated.
Love this!!!
Hahahaha, my McSweeney's breakthrough was also about yoga:
