• In general, I try not to show too much preference between one World Unknown Review story and another. I have the esteemed privilege of receiving dozens and dozens of great stories every year, more and more as the review gains momentum. But sometimes a story come along that makes me want to break that restraint…

  • Whoo-hoo! Halloween!

    This weekend, I did the unthinkable. I took a day off. Not at my paying job, but at writing. I was up for a full 23 hours, since I actually had an opening shift at the day job, which meant no time for my usual morning writing routine. The boyfriend and I carpooled, and my…

  • Working from Home.

    Drifting around the internet while waiting for the boyfriend to get out of work, I came across this article from Career Girl Daily whose title caught my eye: “How to Create a Routine When Working from Home.” Now, I feel I’ve wrangled down a pretty good routine for myself already, but I was curious what…

  • A True Weekend.

    The concept of a weekend when you work in a shift-based retail job is pretty much nonexistent. Every once in a while, you’ll get two days off in a row, but they’re usually in the middle of the week, so your “weekend” because Tuesday-Wednesday instead of Saturday-Sunday. This weekend, though, I was blessed with the…

  • An Overachiever in Failure.

    Weather is a strange thing, especially in the Chicago area, but I don’t think I’ve ever recalled a time where it felt so absolutely autumn sweater weather, and yet the temperature was actually around 80 degrees and humid. It messes with my head in an unpleasant way: I feel the need to curl up with…

  • Jennifer White’s story, “The Haunted Note“, may be the shortest one in 2015’s World Unknown Review, but it deinitely strikes a chord. (I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself!). It’s also perfect for October with its moody tone and the significance of Halloween. And, naturally, I wanted to “sit down” (in the virtual sense!) with the…

  • 30+ and Counting!

    This week has been a good week. Not a great week, although some great things have happened. And I’ve got a pretty good feeling that this coming week is going to be pretty great, too. It’s been a little off, due to a variety of things, none of them big things, but still steady. And…

  • “The Alley.”

    I’ve mentioned it a few times, but October has turned out to be quite the prolific month for me. Earlier, I was able to spew happily about my story “Sleepwalker,” which makes an appearance in Potter’s Field 6, and today is the blessed day I get to announce that my story “The Alley” is currently…

  • New Featured Story!

    I’m a little late in the game at the moment, but I’m happy to announce that the new featured story for October is finally up! Just in time for Halloween, too, as the spooky October holiday plays a big part in Jennifer White’s “The Haunted Note,” from the 2015 World Unknown Review. What can be…

  • A Quiet Week.

    Maybe it’s just the soft autumn rain and the cooling of temperatures that have come with the beginning of October, but this last week has seemed like a pretty quiet one, though I suppose a lot has happened. After seven months, I now find myself with a little more time on my hand because the…
