 I just got an acceptance from Daily Science Fiction for my flash piece, "Offering Solace."  I am literaly dancing about for joy.  

Yay!!


 So, I just saw that Realms of Fantasy is closing.  This is a sad thing.  I have always enjoyed the magazine.  But this is the third time they’ve closed, and I doubt that they’re going to come back again.   But!  I sold a story!  Can’t say where yet, but… […]

The Good and the Bad


 I currently have 29 submissions out.  I have two more that I need to get sent by Halloween.   I track my submissions on Duotrope.  It’s awesome.  If you write and submit and don’t use it, you should go and check it out. It will make your life easier.   […]

Submission Update



 If you missed it, the Kickstarter failed.  Bursts of Light is not to be.  My feelings overall ended up pretty mixed.  I’m disappointed, and failing is never fun, but putting together an anthology is a lot of work, and I don’t know if this was really the right time for […]

Well, that didn’t pan out.


 The Kickstarter is up!  Go and check it out!! I’ve got lots of donation levels and great (if I do say so myself) rewards.  Please donate if you think the project looks worthwhile.  I want this to happen SO BADLY.

Bursts of Light


 Kellogg’s K2O is comes as packets of powder that you mix into a bottle of water.  Each one has 30 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.  The pink lemonade flavor is decent.  Not great–a little too acidic for my taste, but definitely drinkable.  I find it’s […]

Quick Product Review: K2O


 I’ve spent hours and hours this weekend sorting through my clothes.  I’m getting rid of everything that is too big.  I don’t care if it’s cute or if I’ve never worn it, or if I have nice memories of it, or what.  if it doesn’t fit, it goes.  If I […]

The Purge

 Wrote a story today!  It was inspired by this painting, which I saw yesterday at the Carnegie Museum of Art.  It’s called Midgard and it’s by Anselm Kiefer.  It’s a huge painting–it takes up most of the wall.  What I saw when I looked at it wasn’t the broken world that […]

New Story!
