More often than I’d like to admit, there have been plenty of nights where I looked through my works in process and just said, “Eh, let’s start something new.” Sadly, especially half a decade ago when I first started writing (geesh, I’m getting old), this would end up morphing into an entire night wasted in […]
October Progress Report and November Goals (2016)
Happy Halloween! And happy final day of October. I’ll say this has been a pretty good month. (Ignoring the ongoing thing about my house caving in upon itself.) In the world of non-writing stuff, we took the kids to a bunch of Halloween things and they’re totally ready to fill up those bags of candy […]
Five Links Friday Halloween Edition (2016)

The Best Advice I’ve Received from Rejection Letters
I like to think of writing as the business of collecting No’s. You can’t be a writer unless you’re willing to be told “No” every now and then. And by “every now and then,” I mean repeatedly–day in and day out. Since I first started writing short stories, I’ve received 173 rejections and 19 non-responses. […]
Make Some Writer Friends
Like a lot of writers, I tend to avoid talking about my own writing to non-writers. It’s not that I try to hide it–that would be impossible, especially since it’s become such an important part of who I am–but I just don’t usually feel like talking about a hobby to people that don’t share the […]
