Long time no blog. My internet connection has been on the fritz the past few days. Oddly enough, I have gotten ten times the work done during those few days…strange. Well, though I have many other school projects on the table, I am still chock-full of literary specters, and they won’t leave me alone. One […]

They say bad things come in three. Well, I just got my third rejection letter of my last batch–so that’s that. This last rejection was expected because I sent a horror story to a sci-fi/fantasy magazine. I was having trouble finding a horror magazine that would accept the long word count of the story, so

Everywhere I look there is Halloween candy, pumpkins, and apple related foods. And I love it. I tell ya, is there any better inspiration for a horror writer than the month of October? I think not.

I recently became a member of sitegadgets.com. You may notice some new links around the page. One of my favorites is the interactive story. I started us off with two paragraphs from one of my unfinished stories. Click on the link (on the sidebar) and add to the story. Of course, it should be horror,

I just added a link to join the yahoo horror group (it is located at the bottom of the sidebar). It seems to be a pretty cool little group, check it out. -oni

Well, with the weekend comes lots of writing (I hope). I am still working on “The Coffee Can,” which still doesn’t have a suitable title. I have had minor breakthroughs with the plot of this story, but it seems to lack some fundamental element. I dunno, I guess I’ll catch it in editing. I finally
