I really have no idea what I'm doing. Regardless, I have eight lit mags I'm going to submit various short stories to. There are three lit agents I'm going to contact about LD, and I've compiled a list of about five publishers I'll contact about the three novels I'll be editing. However, it's just all so overwhelming and confusing and ( Read more... )

I just submitted a couple things to the Emerson Review. And I realized it is the first time in my entire life I have submitted fiction/nonfiction stuff for publication. I've submitted poetry to things before but I hate my poetry, so it was just a happy surprise that it got selected. With playwrighting, acceptance is based just as much on whether ( Read more... )

Okay, so not only am I getting sicker, now I'm all upset. Two of my stories on fanfiction.net were added to these "C2 Community List" things for "Worst of the Worst" stories. Now, don't get me wrong, I by no means think I am God's gift to writers. My writing class I took this past semester, in particular, has supplied me with a healthy dose of ( Read more... )

This morning at the HLAA meeting (for deaf people and their friends/family), this woman came who trains service dogs. I was so enraptured. I feel like that's something I want to get involved with --when I finally settle down. Even before then, though, I'm thinking I may want to do an intern or volunteer work with them next summer maybe ( Read more... )
