Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
Okay, I know we're already a week into October, but I've still got goals, and I've only just finished scooping my brain off the floor and pouring it back into my skull following my September Story Challenge. Anyway, it's October. Spooky Season. The month preceding November in which writers worldwide descend into the voluntary madness... Continue Reading →
TL:DR: That time I submitted 17 stories 31 times over 29 days.
I'm pleased to announce that my short story, "You Had to be an Asshole on Planet E 11-18" has been published in Infinite Worlds Magazine. I had a lot of fun writing this little sci-fi humor piece about not being a dick when encountering alien races. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as... Continue Reading →
Okay we're just over halfway through September so time to see how I'm dong with my self-motivated challenge of doing 30 short story submissions in 30 days. Answer: it's going quite well. It's day 17 and I've submitted 12 stories a total of 19 times. I've received 7 rejections, 3 of which have been personalized.... Continue Reading →
Earlier in the year, I wrote a post about my 2020 writing goals, and then COVID happened. While Western Australia is in decent shape (no community transmission, no lockdown, very few active cases), the mental toll of watching the rest of the world burn has made writing incredibly difficult. I've put aside the novel I... Continue Reading →

My story "Time and Again and Destiny Too" has just been published in the July 2020 issue of Hybrid Fiction! The best... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned last post, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I was hesitant about doing NaNo again, cuz I find it to be a pretty hit or miss experience for me. Some years it's great for knocking out a rough draft and getting a story that's been in my head for a while down... Continue Reading →
Hello. After the awesomeness of my September Writing Challenge, October was a bit more chill on the writing side of things. I met with my writing group to go over their feedback on one of my novels, and I've been working on rereading that novel and making my editorial notes before I dive into revisions....

Okay, phew, I made it. I survived my September Story Challenge without my brains gooing out of my ears and jamming up my keyboard. And, it went better than I anticipated it would, so there's a win. But let's break things down into specifics, shall we? My goal was to make 30 short story submissions... Continue Reading →
As I stated in my September Goals post, I've decided to dedicate the month of September to writing short stories. Specifically, I plan to submit one short story each day during the month of September. It's been ten days, so how's it going. It's going well, better than I anticipated. It hasn't been easy by...
