  • First Reset of the Year!

    Happy Monday, everyone! I nearly forgot it was Monday, despite having been looking forward to it, because I stayed up quite a bit past my bedtime to watch the Golden Globes after work, then allowed myself to sleep in a bit, and then realizing that this meant I had less time to try to get…

  • New Featured Story and Other Tidbits.

    We’re heading into my favorite month (because it’s my birthday month!), which means we have a new Featured Story from the 2015 World Unknown Review. This time, we step into the aftermath of an apocalypse with the rather humble and fantastic S.L. Dixon in his story “The Grind.” The aftermath of massive, world-destroying events is…

  • Promotion Friday…ACTUALLY on Friday!

    Though my sort-of boss has warned me that the week after next might get a little crazy for me again, things at the part-time job have actually stabilized slightly (I still picked up an extra shift yesterday, putting me pretty well past the 25 hours minimum they want for part-timers, but oh well, the extra…

  • Promotion Friday!

    Happy Friday, everyone! You know, even though I usually work on the weekends, there’s still something about Friday that’s thrilling and exciting and a relief. Oh, right. Payday. And the opportunity for people to share with me what they’ve accomplished recently, what they’ve been inspired by, what tools they’ve been utilizing, what books they’ve been…

  • What Little Remains…

    Only a few days remain in the year 2014, and I’m still a little shocked that it’s nearly over. This year seemed to fly by, a year of big changes and big accomplishments, a nice little set-up for a (hopefully!) equally big year to follow. I’ve realized the value of dropping needless stress from my…

  • Send me your stories!

    This is pretty exciting for me, because I’m usually a horrible procrastinator who gets all lost in all the things she has going on so a lot of things slip through the cracks, but I’m all caught up reading through my current World Unknown Review submissions! Which is fantastic, because I’ve already got a good…

  • So You Think You Can Write…Quickly?

    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.…

  • Searching for Inspiration for Contemporary Novels.

    Writer’s block has never really been a problem for me. At any given moment, I could tell you about at least five different novel ideas that I’ve got in my pocket. More often than not, though, those novels are genre fiction. Fantasy, science fiction, horror. This is the stuff I love to read and the…

  • 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…
