First, the horror: Okay, now that that’s out of the way (if only). I received two rejections this week. One 4 day reject from Gud, and a 65 day reject from http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com/cgi-bin/mag.cgi?do=content&article=home That’s Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. And you know what, now that I think about it, the review will have to wait.
I started cleaning house today. And by house I mean the blog. I went through with a sharpened machete and slashed away at dead links. Now, it’s possible I nicked a link that I shouldn’t have, so if you notice yours has gone kaput, just tell me and I’ll bandage it up as best I
Why not start out with a classic? Not to overstate this or anything, but Richard Matheson’s I am Legend is a masterpiece, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who disagrees. Though short (170 pages) compared to today’s standards, this novel has more life in it than many contemporary novels breaking 500 pages. What I
Yesterday, I created a new blog that I planned on using as a book-review site. I changed my mind. Instead, I decided to simply post the book reviews here, where I already have a few readers. I will still post about writing here, but I want to branch out a bit and add some new
I’m tired of numbering rejections, so I’m not going to anymore. I received a 15 day rejection from Heliotrope Magazine for my story “State of the Union.” I immediately sent it back out to GUD. They have very quick turn around for rejections (not so quick if you’re accepted). Cheers
With all the recent posts about bread, I thought I should explain. Those who have read my interview (see side-bar) know that I closely relate many things with writing. One of those things is cooking. Certain things can inspire me to write, and a lot of those things have to do with my environment and
It was really a last minute thing. I had spent the past two days (both snow days for me since my college closed down–no work, no class) shoveling snow, doing homework, reading, and watching movies. Well, I know I should have written something–anything–but that wasn’t happening. I won’t go into details, it just wasn’t. So,
Hey. I figured I’d just post the link to the recipe I mentioned below. I should probably start doing this whenever I post pictures of food, but since it isn’t my recipe and I didn’t alter it, I didn’t want to pass it off as my own. So, Kate, and anyone else interested, here’s the
It seems that all of my recent posts have been about rejections and bread. Guess what. This one is no different. So, I had a couple of rejections. One was from Raven Electrick for an old piece that I thought I would try sending out again. I think there were other rejections, but I can’t
Okay, so the whole “bad things come in threes” didn’t really work for me this time, since I just received the fourth rejection in a row. But that’s okay. Really. I received a 26 day rejection from Chizine http://www.chizine.com/ for my 100 word drabble, “Lost Little Girl.” The reason it is okay is because it
