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

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

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).
