In the non-writerly acceptances category: much faster than I expected, a shiny acceptance from Rutgers for their Master of Library and Information Science program winged its way into my inbox today. And now that I've heard from both there and Drexel, I just need to make up my dang mind where I'm gonna go.

I'm an avid rejection letter collector--or, what is more popularly known as a writer.
I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover
I'm pleased to report that my short story "Unlucky Clover" has been accepted for the July 2011 issue of Beyond Centauri. "Unlucky Clover" is a sequel of sorts to my story "Lucky Clover" (Flash Fiction Online, March 2008), following the son of that story's leprechaun protagonist (who also makes an appearance in the sequel).
Today’s Entry: One Part Plug, One Part Review
1) The non-shameless plug: Fantasy Magazine has a poll for the Best Fantasy Magazine Story of 2010. The shameless plug: my story "Mortis Persona" is among the stories you can vote for if you enjoyed it and feel so moved. 2) In a review of issue 20 of Black Static at Suite101, my story "The Wounded House" gets an … Continue reading Today’s Entry: One Part Plug, One Part Review
My brain is a vengeful brain
So, that last post where silly conversations with my uncooperative brain eventually led to me outlining the rest of the short story I'm working on? Well, yesterday I sat down to write, confident that I'd now be able to crank out some significant wordage and maybe even finish the first draft, only to discover that, … Continue reading My brain is a vengeful brain
Conversations With My Brain
ME: Ok, time to write! BRAIN: No. ME: What do you mean, no? I have a short story first draft that needs finishing, and I have time to work on it. Let's do this thing! BRAIN: No, I'd rather check Facebook again. ME: We just did that. BRAIN: How about Livejournal? ME: No one's posted … Continue reading Conversations With My Brain
Your Writing Soundtrack
I'm not someone who has to have music on when I write. I've written in silence, and I've written in noisy places without benefit of music--or sometimes in places playing music I didn't care for, which meant I tuned the music out. But I prefer to have music (that I like) on when I write. … Continue reading Your Writing Soundtrack
Grad school weeeeee!
And today we have an acceptance of the non-writing variety: waiting in my inbox earlier was a shiny acceptance from Drexel's master in library and information science program. One grad school response down, one more to go! I am quite looking forward to the fall.
The Writerly Update: Butt + Chair = Productivity Edition
In theory, I should have had more writing time last week. In actuality, I didn't make a lick of progress on the short story I had started the week before. But today? Oh, today was surprisingly lovely for a Monday. For what felt like the first time in ages, I sat down and just cranked … Continue reading The Writerly Update: Butt + Chair = Productivity Edition
“A Song Never Tasted” at Daily Science Fiction
Shameless plug alert: my story "A Song Never Tasted" is now up on Daily Science Fiction's website for your reading pleasure/pain/critical dismemberment.
The Writerly (and Readerly) Update
As expected, this past week was rather weird for me schedule-wise. Adjusting to the whole part-time from home day job shift was sort of like pulling on an old pair of pants; you're thrilled they fit again, but it's been so long since you've worn them that you're trying to remember which tops look right … Continue reading The Writerly (and Readerly) Update
