Last week’s goals: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available (I’m getting low on submittable stories – there are only four making the rounds with publishers right now. I’m supposed to write another nine this year after Cat #6, but I’m warring with myself about doing that or returning … Continue reading

Writing Wednesday: The Devil with the Details
Goals watchlist: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. “The Voices” eBook released on time last week. I made comments the requisite number of blogs (just barely.)

Writing Wednesday: It’s the Little Things That Will Drive Me Crazy
GOALS UPDATE from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycling back to market on schedule as best I can (still don’t have a new flash fiction market for “Schizo the Magnificent” and “All the News…”.)

My second publication is already available for preorder for its February 23rd release – this being a collection, there will also be a paperback, and I’m waiting for the proof to arrive in my mail before I take it live. … Continue reading
Free Yourself Friday: Don’t Be a Prisoner of Your Personal Quirks
This is another inside baseball (meaning WRITING) revelation that may not matter, but as I learn things about writing (and my own version of it), these things may be of use to others. I’m big on goals. They’ve gotten me to where I am today, as far as creating and completing short fiction is concerned. … Continue reading
