Full brain is full!

I'm currently trying to readjust to reality after a couple weeks away—first for a week of writerly workshoppiness at TNEO, and then for a week of vacationy goodness down the shore. My brain's a little scattered, so bear with me as I share the writerly randomness that has occurred during my absence: * First, story … Continue reading Full brain is full!

The Writerly Update: “Where the Hell Did June Go?” Edition

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: * A story sale! My flash fiction piece "The Little Things" will be appearing in Every Day Fiction on July 9. * I've added my short story "The Deepening" (from issue 37 of Aoife's Kiss) to those I have available on AnthologyBuilder. * In a few weeks … Continue reading The Writerly Update: “Where the Hell Did June Go?” Edition

What I Didn’t Blog About On My Summer Vacation

*taps the blog mic* Is this thing on? So, yeah, I’ve been rubbish about posting lately. Life has been consumed by a big busy combo of workshopping craziness, vacationing, trying to finish things up at Ye Olde Day Job before my last day (two more weeks!), and preparing for that whole wacky grad school thing … Continue reading What I Didn’t Blog About On My Summer Vacation

Odyssey: The Before and After Shots

Tomorrow I head off to the The Never-Ending Odyssey (aka TNEO), a week-long workshop for alumni of the six-week Odyssey Writing Workshop, so my current blogging scarcity will likely become even scarcer.

Hopefully come fall I'll be able to settle back into a blog reading and writing routine. Until then, I'll probably remain my … Continue reading The Writerly Update: Rising from the Grave Edition

Escape from the Void Of Too Much Else To Do

Urgh, so much for resurfacing on the blogosphere. Well, I did resurface. I just got sucked right back into the Void Of Too Much Else To Do. I have a feeling that's going to be happening a lot over the next few months. So the bulleted version of what this writer has been up to: * … Continue reading Escape from the Void Of Too Much Else To Do

The Writerly Update: The Wee Beastie Edition

A month and a half after I started the damn thing, and the de-crapified second draft of my novel-prequel-ish short story (now titled Demon Dreams) is finally done. The wee beastie beefed up to 6,700 words in the second draft. That's what a hearty diet of more detail and description will do for one's fictional … Continue reading The Writerly Update: The Wee Beastie Edition
