Just in time!

Orc Chieftain by Wulfgnar on deviantART So yesterday was the deadline for the fourth quarter of the Writers of the Future contest. I’d submitted the Gettysburg time paradox story waaay back in July, but after workshopping it with some friends, I realized that it wasn’t quite up to par. On Monday, though, I workshopped another… Continue reading Just in time!

Operation SB #1: The Infiltrator

Title: The Infiltrator Genre: Science Fiction Word Count: 3,945 Time: 2 days For my first story for Operation Short Blitz, I took a story idea that’s been bouncing around in my head for some time: that one of the best way for aliens to spy on us without being detected would be to send an infiltrator disguised… Continue reading Operation SB #1: The Infiltrator

Author’s Note for THE JEREMIAH CHRONICLES

Here’s the author’s note at the end of Star Wanderers: The Jeremiah Chronicles.  It’s the only content in the omnibus that isn’t available anywhere else, and I don’t want my readers to feel like they have to buy something they’ve already read in order to get it.  And if you do want to buy it,… Continue reading Author’s Note for THE JEREMIAH CHRONICLES

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 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…

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)

“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

Still here

Sorry about missing the Trope Tuesday post yesterday.  My internet was sporadic, and I didn’t think it was worth it to keep refreshing every time I wanted to access tvtropes.  I’ll make it up next week with a good one. The rest of the week is going to be pretty busy.  We have a make-up… Continue reading Still here

Back to writing (and publishing)

I was snowed in again this weekend, so I took advantage of the time to work on my writing–specifically, to figure out what to work on next.  Things have been kind of crazy these past few weeks, so I haven’t written very much, but now that I’ve settled into a new routine, it should be… Continue reading Back to writing (and publishing)
