I had four new pieces out in November of this year! My flash fiction piece, “The Train Station That Knows What You Need,” came out in Cafe Irreal. This story is super special to me because while we were in Japan back in May, we came VERY near to the train station in question. Sadly, […]

By the numbers: Stories out at the beginning of the month: 100 Acceptances received: 3 Rejections received: 55 (+1) Stories withdrawn: 0 Resubmissions: 44 New Submissions: 2 Stories out at the end of the month: 86 November was a busy month with NaNoWriMo, and unsurprisingly, my submissions suffered a bit. I only wrote two new […]

Reading: Bunches of books to review. I’ve gotten a lot of short story collections, either as anthologies or single-author collections, which are some of my favorite things to read, for the length and the variety! Watching: Not quite as much as usual, though we caught up on season 2 AND 3 of Reservation Dogs. Now […]

November is nearly here! While for many writers, that means National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), sometimes prompts can still be a vital part of the process. If you get stuck on any given day, you can pop over here to see the three words for the day and see if any of them give you […]

My short story “Easy […]

November may be halfway over, but I recently found this list of November writing prompts and really liked what they included! You could get started on them now, save them for another month with 30 days, or just randomly choose a prompt to use (through a random number generator or just picking a favorite number) […]

Reading: Primarily books to review, though I also just got a huge stack of craft books from a Microcosm Publishing Kickstarter, so I’ve got those to wade through as well! Watching: Since my last post, we finished She Hulk, which we loved all the way through (yes, even the last episode, which was strange but […]

October is nearly over, so here comes November! This month, Word 1 prompts come from the Kick in the Creatives Art Challenge, with slight modification to make them all one word prompts. Word 2 prompts come from Miska’s Maps Mapvember. And Word 3 prompts are randomly generated words. So there’s not much of a theme […]
