Random ThoughtsMany writers feel like time is a limitation on their writing ability. With two small kids at home, you can bet I'm one of them. I often try to squeeze in a little distracted, multitasking writing-related work wherever I can: on the bus, at the library while the kids play, waiting for preschool to open, and so forth. Recently I realized that sometimes this leaves me feeling more burnt-out--and less productive--when my actual dedicated writing time comes around. The moral of the story? I'll let you know if I figure it out. It seems finding balance is a constant, ever-changing struggle.
What I've been up to lately, writing-wise:
Thinking about 2016! I've got several things in progress.
In March, I have a science fiction story coming out over at Escape Pod. It'll be awesome to hear a reader's interpretation of my story.
In July, I'll be at CONvergence, the largest Minnesota SF/F convention.
And of course, I plan to be wrapping up a couple of large writing projects and seeing where they go from there.
Looking forward to it!

Featured Market
Liminal Stories wants strange, unsettling, weird fiction.
Liminal is searching for stories of a particular tone and tenor, regardless of form. We like stories that are strange and unsettling, sharp-edged and evocative. Although we will consider any genre, we have a soft spot for weird fiction, magical realism, soft sci-fi, and those uncatagorizable stories that straddle the line between genres. Liminal stories should linger in the mind and evoke emotion in the reader.
The basics: all genres, up to 10,000 words, $.06/word, no reprints. Fast response time. Guidelines at http://liminalstoriesmag.com/submissions/.
