No Rest for the Wicked
Sometimes I wonder if I’ve started repeating blog post titles. Then I remember I’m coming up on the 11-year anniversary (!!!) of this site and I’ve decided not to let it bother me. Okay, so! As of my last post about a month ago, I’d finished writing a book that had taken me on quite […]

As planned, I’ve put the novella aside for now, and I started the anthology submission. I’ve frequently said here that titles either come to me right away or they don’t. For this short story…I got nothing. Nothing good, anyway. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t say I have nothing, as I have been brainstorming a few ideas […]

It’s Only Words
It took some time, but I seem to have finally gotten some writing mojo back. I finished up the first draft for a short story I plan on submitting to an anthology, and I’m starting to get super excited about the projects I intend to work on next. Writing for anthologies is always an interesting […]
