Back in form,I think

I'm baaack! Evidently no one missed me cause it's dead around here. I had surgery on the 18th and I finally feel human again. So now what I need is a few people to kick me in the pants and get me on the right track. I have a chapter I've been struggling with for months now and a short story that needs editing and some fluff for publication. I seem to have lost my muse somewhere and the words aren't flowing at all.

I know exactly where I'm going with the chapter but every word…

Is it possible for a simple person as myself to get published?

So I have been reading everything and anything that I can get my hands on as time allows. There are books out there that amaze me in their basic and blundering attempts. No depth, no surprises, feeble attempts at humor and gratuitous sex evidently are books that appeal to an audience. Yes, they may have a small market, but someone is publishing these authors. There are books I have read from authors with numerous books under their belt that I know for a fact I could improve upon…

Publisher seeking paranormal romance stories

I saw this on my Shelfari group and thought maybe some of youwriters might be interested.

A paying acceptance

I've decided that Duotrope is my new best friend. Instead of submitting to the first site that comes up in a google search it lets me sort through publications and find one with a brief that fits the story.

The result? My first paying acceptance, for the story that didn't win the British Fantasy Society competition last year. Only a token payment of 1/4 cent per word but it feels *fantastic*, and it means I've achieved my next goal of making it into a paying… Continue

Got another acceptance

For a new magazine, Soft Whispers. I found Duotrope and got a bit overexcited so I've sent off another bunch of submissions too. I must really hate myself to sign up for so much self flagellation.

Writing time

How do you manage writing time? I'm at the point in life where I think I need to allocate writing time. It is something I feel very strong about and it's time I restructured things. I work more than full timeand I have 4 people in my life that depend on me for many things. I know professionals treat their writing time as we all treat our jobs. But as a recreational writer how do you find the time? I seriously think I need to designate time every day before I become a bear to live with or just… Continue

LOL! Apparently Farm Town on Facebook is the most addicting thing going. My husband and several of my friends are playing too.

Sadly, I play assorted farm games on facebook and don't write a word. Not a strategy I would recommend.
