Woman’s best friend
October 21, 2011
I just can’t think of anything useful to write tonight, folks. My apologies. To mollify the blow, I offer my dog. He never fails to bring a smile to my face. I hope he does the same for you.

Ah…crits
October 20, 2011
That ‘crit’ in the title should be said like a swear word: Aaaah, shit. Today my novel (first novel, if you don’t know) came up in the critique queue over on Critters. And, believe it or not, though it’s only been less than 24 hours since the manuscript got delivered by the Critter Captain’s minions, I got … More Ah…crits
Bones of the Magus – A Review
October 19, 2011
Disclaimer: I know the author. Not personally. I discovered (yes, so it seemed) her on SFFWorld.com where the author sometimes dabbles in the flash fiction and short stories contests. Her stories were always well written and provocative. She visited the forums infrequently, but because I love her writing (both style and content) we developed a … More Bones of the Magus – A Review

K.I.C.S.
October 16, 2011
Wait. Do I mean K.I.S.S. – Keep It Simple, Stupid? Nope! I mean: Keep It Clear, Stupid. 😀 K.I.C.S. Catchy, no? Anyway… I critiqued a very interesting story this week. A mash of science fiction, religion, physics theory, and Native American mythology. To be honest, it went completely over my head. As smart as I like … More K.I.C.S.

You will know her. I’m gonna make sure you do, because she is one of the most amazing writers I know. I’ve just finished reading her (un)comic book, titled Bones of the Magus, and it is just AMAZING. Review to come shortly after I get my thoughts together. I want to get this right…
The Moody Writer
October 14, 2011
Ug. I shouldn’t have submitted to that local magazine. The rejection is burrowing into my brain, setting up shop, and demanding that I crawl under my rock with the rest of my brethren: the maggots, slugs, and cockroaches. I wish I didn’t get this way, but I do – all sensitive and prickly. I can’t … More The Moody Writer
The Gentle Editor
October 13, 2011
You know, I should submit more often, just so I can get such nice rejections like this: Whether or not you’re selected for publication, know that we admire your work and are thrilled you’ve entered. Actually, it’s just a form acknowledgement letter of our submissions, but, still, the editor didn’t have to put that sentence … More The Gentle Editor
Out on a limb
October 12, 2011
New haunt, new grounds, Makes an old dog run around; In his way is a big tree, Up he goes to have a pee! Yes, folks, that’s my best attempt at poetry. I know, I know, I should be embarrassed, but I’m not. Poetry is not my thing. I admire those who can turn a … More Out on a limb
Flashed me one
October 11, 2011
Well, I done wrote me a flash piece and sent it in – all done under two hours! What’s wrong with me? Note to all new writers: Do not send in a piece prior to giving yourself some space to let the story rest. I’m sure when I re-read the story in a day or … More Flashed me one
