I had quite the experience yesterday journeying home by bus–a trip that should have taken about eight hours took almost twelve thanks to a small collision (no one hurt, thankfully!) followed by bad weather (snow, in April? After last week’s high temps? What are you doing, Spring?!). Despite the bad …
A few things to talk about today, all related to my writing. 2016 started out very strong in January–I made a lot of progress with Upgrade. February had its moments, although the ultimate result was less than impressive. March made a good comeback, though more in terms of other things …
Well, as you can tell from the spread of bunnies, I didn’t quite make it halfway through my month’s goals. Still, I did far better this month than I did in February. I’m not going to berate myself for not getting more done–you can drive yourself crazy with what ifs …
Look at those cute bunnies! They should be multiplying much faster than this, but unfortunately I think Upgrade is only getting one revision this month, as I don’t have enough crits and don’t expect another full set of them before the end of the month to allow for a second …
This should have been up yesterday, but I was busy walking across a good part of Manhattan and completely spaced. Whoops! Another little drabble for this week… Somewhat related to the image as well. The End is Only the Beginning I type the last few characters to end a story …
Welcome to March! It’s the third month of the year, that time where, in some parts of the world, the snow is finally receding and birds, grass, and flowers are reappearing. Given that it snowed yesterday, it’s not quite spring yet here, but the month still has that renewal feel …
This should have been up yesterday, but due to an unforeseen lack of internet, I wasn’t able to post or even schedule it for posting. As far as January went, I think I made pretty good progress in terms of my goals. I didn’t actually start plotting out the Demons …
The title says it all. As of sometime late Tuesday night, the first draft of Upgrade is complete and off to be critiqued by friends, family, and my fellow Scribophiles. Am I relieved? Yes. The last couple of weeks were a stressful bundle of writer’s block and frustration, but the …
Although it doesn’t look like I’ve made much progress, I have actually made it 14 out of an estimated 18 chapters into finishing the first draft, I’ve revised the first 8 chapters, and posted the first 8 chapters. Perhaps I should have filled in the dashes to reflect this, but …
Today’s short story is another from my past–I wrote this one in my early teens, and actual won second prize at a flash fiction contest, a local contest for a town I wasn’t from but lived near. It was the second, and last, prize I’ve won for my writing…the following …
