Form rejection and WOTF closure

So I finally got an email from the Writers of the Future contest.  It reads: Dear Entrant, Your story has now been judged and did not win or place in the 1st quarter. Even though you have never had to wait for results in order to submit for the next quarter, this hopefully gives you… Continue reading Form rejection and WOTF closure

Still traveling

So I think I’ve clocked in about 1,000 kilometers this past week, mostly between Kutaisi and Tbilisi.  Seen some interesting things, met a lot of interesting people, made some good memories, and thought a lot of deep and poignant thoughts. Unfortunately, all this travel isn’t conducive to blogging.  I’ve got five days before I fly… Continue reading Still traveling

Still waiting…

So the finalists for the first quarter Writers of the Future have been announced, but there hasn’t been any word on semi-finalists or silver HMs and probably won’t be until the winners are announced.  I can’t really publish part I of Star Wanderers until I hear back, so that means more waiting.  Grrr… In the meantime,… Continue reading Still waiting…

Blurb and cover for Star Wanderers

So the first quarter finalists for the Writers of the Future contest were finally announced (finally!), and I wasn’t among them.  Oh well.  But the good news is that I can move ahead now to publish part 1 of Star Wanderers! First, though, I need to work out a killer blurb.  This is what I’ve got… Continue reading Blurb and cover for Star Wanderers

Quick update (yes, I’m still alive)

I just had an awesome weekend.  Saw the most amazing cave complex of my life, toured Kakheti o a TLG excursion, met a bunch of really cool people, and hung out with them in Tbilisi for a while.  I’ll have to save all that for another blog post, though, probably in a couple of days. Rumor… Continue reading Quick update (yes, I’m still alive)

Summer To Do list

They say that the three main perks to being a teacher are June, July, and August, and that’s as true for TEFL teachers as it is for any other kind.  I’m spending June in Georgia, but for July and August, I’ll be back in the States.  Instead of vacationing, though, I plan to be working… Continue reading Summer To Do list

Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright

Imagine you wake up tomorrow, and find out that everyone around you has vanished.  Well…not everyone.  But the ones who are still around claim to see strange things that you can’t see.  And then, you get an eerie feeling of a presence…something dangerous, something coming at you right now.  And then, things get really weird… Yesterday’s… Continue reading Yesterday’s Gone: Episode One by Sean Platt & David Wright

“On hold” with WOTF

I have some interesting news.  My first quarter submission to the Writers of the Future contest has been put “on hold,” following the untimely passing of the contest’s coordinating judge, K.D. Wentworth.  Here’s the email I received this morning: Dear Entrant, I wanted to let you know that we have a delay in the handling… Continue reading “On hold” with WOTF

Trope Tuesday postponed again

Sorry, but no Trope Tuesday post this week.  Long story short, more internet problems–I’m blogging right now from the McDonald’s on Tch’avtch’avadze Street.  Since my battery’s running out, this is going to have to be a quick post. I suppose I should ask, though: what tropes do you want me to cover in the future?… Continue reading Trope Tuesday postponed again
