With all the recent posts about bread, I thought I should explain. Those who have read my interview (see side-bar) know that I closely relate many things with writing. One of those things is cooking. Certain things can inspire me to write, and a lot of those things have to do with my environment and […]

It was really a last minute thing. I had spent the past two days (both snow days for me since my college closed down–no work, no class) shoveling snow, doing homework, reading, and watching movies. Well, I know I should have written something–anything–but that wasn’t happening. I won’t go into details, it just wasn’t. So,
Hey. I figured I’d just post the link to the recipe I mentioned below. I should probably start doing this whenever I post pictures of food, but since it isn’t my recipe and I didn’t alter it, I didn’t want to pass it off as my own. So, Kate, and anyone else interested, here’s the

It seems that all of my recent posts have been about rejections and bread. Guess what. This one is no different. So, I had a couple of rejections. One was from Raven Electrick for an old piece that I thought I would try sending out again. I think there were other rejections, but I can’t

Okay, so the whole “bad things come in threes” didn’t really work for me this time, since I just received the fourth rejection in a row. But that’s okay. Really. I received a 26 day rejection from Chizine http://www.chizine.com/ for my 100 word drabble, “Lost Little Girl.” The reason it is okay is because it
I received a 1 day rejection from Raven Electrick http://ravenelectrick.com/ for a flash fiction piece. She suggested sending another one in, so I did. Hopefully it will have better luck. So, I guess that’s my three. Does that mean I get a sale now? Here’s hoping. So, I broke in my new camera today while
This is a 33 day rejection from http://www.heliotropemag.com/Issue01/index.html Heliotrope. It was for my short story “The Box of Forever.” I guess I should expect a third rejection this week. You know, the rule of threes and all that jazz. ————————————————————— In other rnews, I finally made the leap into the digital age and bought myself
Received a 55 day form rejection from http://horrorlit.horrorfictionnews.com/ (Horror Literature Quarterly).
No title and nothing much to say. Not much news on the writing front. I’ve been trying to get work done, but very little is coming out. A bit every day or so, but nothing to cheer about. I think I’m watching too many movies and not reading enough. Or maybe reading too much and
As you know, over the past couple weeks I have been experimenting with making fresh sourdough from scratch. Though I’ve had some trouble getting my wild yeast starters to give sufficient rise to my dough, I have started to proof another batch tonight, with the hopes the the resulting dough will rise. I have gained
