It’s a lucky thing I stopped numbering the rejections, because this latest batch would have been really depressing to count. I have a 2 day rejection from GUD, for my piece, “Camera Obscura.” And I have a 2 day rejection from Cryptopedia Magazine, for my piece, “The Box of Forever.” Okay, enough of that. My […]

So, I figure I owe a nice big update. I will be around again, at least for a few months. It’s officially summer for me–maybe not weather-wise, but school-wise, it is. So, here’s the good news: I graduated with my Masters of Education. The previous semester I received my certification to teach English. So this
To say I have no time for this right now is more than an understatement. I am in my last semester of graduate school and should be, as I type, working on my Master of education portfolio, which is due next week. But then, I’m one of those people who work better under pressure. That,
Hey everybody. I was thinking. I always talk about books and writing. I even talk about movies. But it’s a rare occasion that I talk about music. Well, today, I’m changing that. Sure, I’ve had a few rejections I can tell you all about, but this is more fun. Today, I want to mention one
I’ll get to that very telling title in a second. First this: I received a 1 month rejection from The Pedestal Magazine today. There was no notes or anything, just a regular old form reject. It was for a story that I have shopped around quite a bit, and although I particularly like this one,

First, the horror: Okay, now that that’s out of the way (if only). I received two rejections this week. One 4 day reject from Gud, and a 65 day reject from http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com/cgi-bin/mag.cgi?do=content&article=home That’s Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. And you know what, now that I think about it, the review will have to wait.

I started cleaning house today. And by house I mean the blog. I went through with a sharpened machete and slashed away at dead links. Now, it’s possible I nicked a link that I shouldn’t have, so if you notice yours has gone kaput, just tell me and I’ll bandage it up as best I

Why not start out with a classic? Not to overstate this or anything, but Richard Matheson’s I am Legend is a masterpiece, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who disagrees. Though short (170 pages) compared to today’s standards, this novel has more life in it than many contemporary novels breaking 500 pages. What I
Yesterday, I created a new blog that I planned on using as a book-review site. I changed my mind. Instead, I decided to simply post the book reviews here, where I already have a few readers. I will still post about writing here, but I want to branch out a bit and add some new
I’m tired of numbering rejections, so I’m not going to anymore. I received a 15 day rejection from Heliotrope Magazine for my story “State of the Union.” I immediately sent it back out to GUD. They have very quick turn around for rejections (not so quick if you’re accepted). Cheers
