Welcome to November 18. Remember how I said how bad I am at Nanowrimo? My prediction has come to fruition. I wrote a little bit of a new story on November 1 and since then have done fuck all (British term). I haven't even written here, until today. Currently, I'm in my office. I had …

So Organized! Not Really.
Quick bit of news - my submission to DarkFuse was returned to me unread with a message that the magazine is on hiatus and they're not looking at anything. Wonk wonk. I still feel weird having a blog, because I doubt anyone finds what I have to say interesting, but since I'm out and about …
Long Time, No See. You’ve Changed So Much. Here’s What Happened…
So I haven't written anything in a while; there are several reasons for that. 1) I've actually been traveling and doing stuff, which is weird for me; 2) I have a job, losers; and 3) I'm lazy. So far I've just been rejected across the board, although Pseudopod sent me a personal rejection and told …

“It’s an Honor Just to be Nominated” Part 2: REJECTED. Plus, Hallucinogens.
I finally got my anticipated rejection from Apex Magazine earlier this week. Now I need to figure out A) what's wrong with the story, and B) where to send it to next. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen until this weekend, because you know what, turds, I have a job. I also need to write …

So a few new but uninteresting-to-anyone-but-me things happened this week. I got rejected by The Dark. Not THE DARK, as in the breathing black space that haunts closets everywhere, but the horror magazine. Rejection Game Strong thus far. Still waiting for DarkFuse, Pseudopod and Apex to tell me to fuck off. I have two weeks' …

Write Drunk; Edit Whenever
A dubiously smart person once said, "Write drunk; edit sober" (that person was not Ernest Hemingway, despite what you've heard). In that vein, I am now at The Yachtsman with Ashley so I can work on my novel. No, I am not drunk (yet), because it's Sunday, but we were running out of places to …
Coffee is Gross, but I Wrote Something in P-Burgh.
I have three things to report. I'm in Pittsburgh right now for work, at a hotel. I've been to Pittsburgh on this case twice in the past month. It's a nice town. I decided to try to drink coffee this morning. I hate coffee. I normally drink tea. I finished a short story last night, …

How Dare You: Driving Etiquette
I live in a city, which should mean that I don't have to drive. However, I live across the river from a state where everyone drives, and I happen to work in that state, and thus, I must commute to work every day. This isn't really anything new for me, since I'm from the Detroit …
