Because that's what your supposed to do. I revised the beginning of Spirit of The Ucanians and sent it to Apex Magazine. Why am I still messing with this you ask? I guess because I have high hopes. I'm telling you; it's weird enough to get me published and honestly, I think it's pretty good. Hopefully someone else will think it's good enough to ( Read more... )

http://rolanni.livejournal.com/ has proposed to make June 23 as Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers day and several authors I respect are promoting it as well. Personally I think it's a great idea as well because I spent much of my youth enthralled by those type of stories. Here is a link to her ( Read more... )

 on my website fubared my short  Lelee’s Treasure and it took me this long to notice. Sorry about that. Very unprofessional on my part. I’ll fix it as soon as I get the chance. Gonna try to make it to Conestoga again this year. Anybody wanna bet me something comes up and I have to miss it again this year? I will say not making a con has nothing to ( Read more... )

Spirit Of The Ucanians was rejected. I don’t feel too bad though. He actually sent a short response and signed it himself. He said it just didn’t grab his attention. I cant control that (well, sort of). I’m just geeky enough to get a thrill from it. A personal rejection letter from a major publisher and not some form letter. Sad isn’t it ( Read more... )

I try not to put my personal views *cough, cough* on here any more than I have to. I know I used to but after seeing other writers post their views and having it turn me off, I vowed to avoid it as much as I can. I know its hard to do when writing and I’m sure some of it comes out no matter how much I try to be just an entertainer.

On this one I ( Read more... )

Just want to update for everyone who comes and checks on me. Spirit of the Ucanians is being submitted Monday finally. I know. Thats a long time since I first wrote it. What can I say. I was trying to get it right. The guy I am sending it to is an award winning editor and I hope he looks at it like what it could ( Read more... )

5.It probably will take me a million words before I stop ( Read more... )

 I have noticed a growing trend in my reading habits the older I get. I am really starting to like reading short stories and with a collection like Wolfsongs , it is easy to understand why. Editor and writer Margaret Bonham has assembled a collection of stories that captures the spirit, the mystique, and the love of these mysterious animals. ( Read more... )

The deadline to the writers workshop at ArmadilloCon that is. But it's ok. Looks like my short story is gonna go past their 5000 word count limit anyway. The last scene has been kicking my butt. I have the characters and the situation but getting to where I want them to go has been tough. Plus then I have to revise and polish it. No way I can make ( Read more... )
