Several years ago, I came across the idea of aiming to get 100 Rejections in a Year (probably not due to this article specifically, but this one is a good reference point all the same), and it really struck a chord with me. Not only because I believe one of the best tool a writer…

Well, I’m about to enter the second half of my long eight-day work streak, so the past four days have been a little bit of a blur (having a shark-related “Big Damn Event” in Fandom High didn’t help, either). So things have been a little whirlwindy for me this past week, and it’s still a…

I still can’t believe it’s already July. We’re more than half way done with the year, and I can’t believe how much crap I haven’t be doing. Top of the list: getting Fearless ready for print. The draft is finished, I just haven’t had the time to focus on getting it typed up and doing…

Even if we’re three days into it, I’d like to welcome you all to the month of September! I honestly don’t know where August went; I swear, it was right here a second ago, but I’m really glad I can start getting excited about Halloween now without getting side-eyed by people who think August is…

Those of you who are paying attention know that it’s August, which means I’m going to start talking about the World Unknown Review a lot these next couple months. August is when I really start to hone in and focus on getting submissions and reading them, leaving a good solid three months before the October…

One of the most profound struggles I have regarding this blog and my current computer-less status is that I feel that, whenever I do have access to a computer at work while waiting for my boyfriend to finish his shift, I know I should use the time to write up a post, but I very…

I’m sure there’s at least a few of you who may have wondered what happened to my gung-ho, Mon-Wed-Fri posting schedule that I was so excited about over a week ago, considering things have been pretty quiet over here on my blog. Let me assure you, I have not dropped the ball entirely so quickly,…

The deadline is next Friday, October 31st, so please, get those stories into…
