This week was much more admin focused than usual. I’m between writing projects and the current one (scifi for BSQ) requires some additional worldbuilding/culture building, so I’m taking my time with that. Instead, my focus was on things like cover art for next year’s short story publishing, scheduling my next Vampire serial in December on…

This week I brainstormed, outlined, wrote, edited, and submitted a short story to an anthology call for Fae-themed stories. I’ve submitted to this editor before and she’s published my work several times, so we’re a good fit. Now we wait for acceptance/rejection. Speaking of rejections, I received a rejection for a MilScifi short story, but…

I don’t like doing that, and sometimes an editor says they can’t take a late story (which is fair!), but thankfully this project and editor were flexible and allowed me to push the deadline out by…

Still swimming! The deadlines keep coming and they don’t stop coming. This week I wrote a fantasy regency short story. I happen to have a novella series set during the golden age of sail which Also happens to fall during the regency era AND CONVENIENTLY it’s a fantasy world full of ghosts and witches and…

This week I tried something new and had to spend a day recovering. I’m trying to do more of my writing through dictation. I want to reduce the amount of hours I spend typing, but also see if I can use it to speed up my writing process. It’s a thing that takes time, however,…

Friday Update 2/2/24 In an unusual move, this week I decided the big plan I had for Fated to the Wolf needed to be cut down to something more compact. It’s a story meant to go in an anthology with a collection of other shifter authors and the target length is 20k. While they would…
