Happy New Year
Posted on: December 31st, 2005 by Anthony Rapino

Well, I wrote this once already, and my computer decided to spit it out. So, I get to recount my failures. Yes, I have gotten another rejection, this time for a short called “The Coffee Can.” I could make excuses, but there would be no point. In my original post, I had talked a bit [...]

DONE!

Finals are over, thank the good Lord. I have big plans for this month off, starting with my writing and ending with submissions. I have two or three written out ideas ready to go for short stories (at least one involving reanimation, a new subject for me). My three submissions are still out. This is [...]

2 finals and 3 papers down, 1 final and 1 paper to go. It’s important because once I finish that school stuff, the real horror can begin. T-minus 24 hours and counting… -oni

Crunch time

Submissions update: I recieved a rejection from an anthology today. They gave me some good feedback and in the end said it simply did not fit their needs. I wonder if that means screw off… I sent out another submission, since I like to keep a few out at a time. So, keeping my fingers [...]

Writing has been slow the past two weeks due to finals preparation. Come Wednesday, the semester ends, and I have a full month of nearly free time (still have to work) to get some writing done. I have been keeping up with submitting however, and at the moment have three pieces awaiting response. Since this [...]

Hello friends. The world of dark literature has been treating me fairly well these past days. I am revising several short stories and working on my novel Tales at Twilight for NaNo WriMo. It’s true, I recently received another letter of rejection. But this was a good rejection. How can it be good? Well, the [...]

Word counts, rejections, and late nights
Posted on: November 11th, 2005 by Anthony Rapino

Okay. I thought I should post, since it has been a few days. Latest news: Another rejection. No surprise there. I still have one story out in the world, and I have a good feeling about it. I’ll post the result of that when I find out. My NaNo WriMo word count hasn’t grown much [...]

Frittered away
Posted on: November 6th, 2005 by Anthony Rapino

Time that is. I can’t help but notice that no matter what I do, there is never enough time in the day. I used to think it was from sleeping to late, so I started getting up early–but it doesn’t help. Between NaNo WriMo, homework, work-work, and all the other little inevitabilities of the day, [...]

You’ll notice two new pictures/icons on the side bar. The first will bring you to a couple of my drawings, and the second will bring you to a very short flash cartoon that I created a couple of years ago. Why post them here? Easy answer: because they are dark. Maybe not scary horror dark, [...]
