Contests

  • When I cam across Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest, at first I laughed. And then a little spark in my brain went off, and I thought, “I could so totally do this.” Romance isn’t in my wheelhouse AT ALL, but I understandt he appeal and the potential benefits of delving into it.…

  • Now that I’ve pretty much officially moved into the boyfriend’s apartment (the cats are settled, so that makes it legit), this next week or two is going to be about getting all my crap moved over (no easy task, as there’s significantly less room here) and finding myself a new routine that works around sharing…

  • Well, it’s here. Only seven days left to the conclusion of my very first Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for The Slayer Saga: Soulless. It’s been a bumpy ride, especially since a good portion of the time period was spent without a computer, so I lost a lot of promotional time, but that means…

  • So, it’s official. I’m now part-time employed at a local grocery store as a cashier, thus dashing my plans of working on nothing but my writing for the time being. Granted, I’ve asked for only around ten hours a week and it’s significantly less demanding than my previous full-time assistant general manager position, but part…

More often than not, though, those novels are genre fiction. Fantasy, science fiction, horror. This is the stuff I love to read and the…

  • A Wee Little Catch-Up.

    Usually, if it gets to be this late in the day and I haven’t made a post yet, I leave it for the next day, but I felt the need to still put something up. The only reason why I didn’t post this morning was because I had an unexpected job interview downtown this morning…

  • Author Quotes: Pratchett.

    “Fantasy doesn’t have to be fantastic. American writers in particular find this much harder to grasp. You need to have your feet on the ground as much as your head in the clouds. The cute dragon that sits on your shoulder also craps all down your back, but this makes it more interesting because it…

  • As I’ve been talking about ad nauseum here on the blog, my focus on becoming a full time writer starts next month when I finally say good-bye to the dreaded Day Job. This means putting a new focus on creating more content (my biggest faux pas at the moment), getting back in touch with writerly…

  • It’s hard to believe that we’re already half-way into the second week of October, but it’s true. That means the deadline for Submissions for the World Unknown Review is coming up pretty quickly! Submissions will close after October 31st, 2013. At the time of writing this post, I have received no submissions, which means the…
