Writing Wednesday: It Takes a Lot to Make a World

Goals achieved last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market as quickly as possible (it helped that a couple of markets opened back up for submissions recently.) “Cellfishness” was ePubbed on schedule (next release date is May 4th.)

Writing Wednesday: To Y.A., or Not to Y.A.?

Last week’s goal report: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market as quickly as possible (not a lot happening there – taking a long time at some of the publishers.)

I’m done reading A Storm of Swords, and I’m taking a brief break from that world by reading R.A.Salvatore’s The Dame. I’ll return to the land of Westros afterwards. A writer … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: The Value of Reading the Work of Others

First, to last week’s goals: I’m focused on Swordsmaster for the first half, so I’m not writing any short fiction right now (I’ll stop updating on my ten story quota until July – unless some rogue story forces me to write it.) My stories are going back out to market as quickly as they can. … Continue reading →
