This last week has been a rough one, but I’m determined to fudge my way back into some semblance of consistency and routine again, even if the going has been a little rough. My work situation is definitely cutting into my writing time, which is really problematic, because, as much as I like this job,…

Here everyone’s probably going to talk about Valentine’s Day today, and I’m just doing a day-late, dollar-short Monday Morning Reset Post. It’s been a while since I’ve done one. Because the Crazy Work Schedule was messing me up big time, I thought, “Maybe they’re unnecessary, maybe I don’t need to do them.” And, in a…

Happy February, everyone! As we start to get settled into the new year, it’s time to start bringing you some of the great stories that I was honored to publish in World Unknown Review Volume III. We start this year with a yarn from an author who appeared in Volume II, Adam L. Bealby. Last…

This is the sort of post I don’t imagine many people will find interesting, but I’m a little bit of a numbers nerds and thought that, this year, I’d really like to keep track of a lot of little details and lay them all out at the end of the month to see how I…

Work has definitely been kicking my butt lately. Our little sub-department has exactly four employees in it. Four. Our supervisor, one full timer, two part timers.

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…

Though I’ve tried to ignore it, I still have to admit that the orderly part of my brain is still twitching a little bit over the fact that New Year’s Day missed Monday by such a small margin. How perfect would it have been if the Full Year Reset happened to coincide with a Monday…

Man, this time of year is always so crazy; I even completely forgot to do a Monday Morning Reset Post last week. I didn’t realize it until Wednesday night, and, at that point, it just seemed silly to post it on Thursday. But I only do it to myself, having decided on December for releasing…

Great news, everyone! The 2016 edition of the World Unknown Review is currently available for your reading pleasure! Our third year brought an absolutely staggering surge of submissions, which meant it was really difficult to pick a mere ten stories to be features, but I somehow managed to fish out the shining tales that would…

We have a new featured story up for December and January: “Into the Sun” by Fallon Brown! This was the winning novella entry for the World Unknown Review Volume II. Since it’s a novella, it might be a little longer to read, but it’s well worth it. I might leave it up a little longer…
