  • 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…

  • World Unknown Review Reminder.

    It’s hard to believe that we’re practically half-way through September already, but the calender does not lie. In a month and a half, I will be officially closing the Submissions for my first attempt at a literary review, World Unknown. I have, unfortunately, not had the time to promote it as much as I would…

  • Ketchup Post.

    Sometimes, you just need to take a moment to catch up. You see, I’ve had a lot going on, which is why post have been infrequent at best. Work has just exploded to the point where I’ve been charged with taking care of the two top management positions of a struggling store, I’ve got to…

  • I have been sitting on this idea for a while now, since the beginning of the year, and, as we head into June, the middle of the year, I realized that I’d better get my butt moving on it if I wanted to accomplish this idea before 2013’s eventual conclusion (which is likely to happen…

Okay, no, David Sedaris is (thankfully) not dead, but his own memoirs and experience in culture shock,…

  • Oh, Here It Goes Again.

    So, I’ve taken a little bit of a break from writing and from the blog to have some well-spent time with a friend, which I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot of on the weekends if this new schedule that gives me Sundays off stays consistent. From what I hear, this is typical…

  • The “Look” Challenge.

    Over at Frame Tale, Kate did a challenge post that she had come across that I just had to give a stab at myself. I love these little games, where you get the chance to showcase a little bit of your work. It’s also pretty useful for those days when you don’t have much else…

  • An Autumnal Antholgy Contest.

    After giving it some thought, I’ve decided that I’m going to go ahead and do it. I’m going to hold a writing contest. This thought seems new and strange to me, though, really, it shouldn’t, since I produced an anthology for my writing group in college, though that wasn’t so much of a contest as…

  • “‘I smell Ssark on the wind,” Tayahyla said, her face made of stone. ‘That reek is unmistakeable, a hunting party, though a small one. Still, we’d better move quickly before they start taking to the idea of Human flesh to break their fast.’” As you may have realized, not only did I skipp Sunday’s Round…
