And the Verdict is….
…no sale. I heard back from Weird Tales this evening. They’re passing on my Zombie story. Reads like a form rejection. 🙁 Oh well, it’s about what I expected. I looked up their stats on duotrope, and they reject over …

Over 60
With 1,762 words down tonight, I passed the 60,000 word mark on Masters this evening. I beat my word count goal by 200 words, and remain on track to complete the work by the end of the month. So I’m …
Gunfight at the Imagination Movers
It’s been a good evening. Earlier, my wife and I took our too oldest (ages 3 and 2) to the Imagination Movers concert. No, there wasn’t a gunfight a the concert. I was just going for a catchy post title. …
Making Progress and Burning Flicks
With just shy of 1,500 words written tonight, I’ve topped 52,000 total on Masters so far. I didn’t get that much done in the writing world yesterday, only 300 or 400 words. But that’s ok. Yesterday, I rode 46.3 miles …

I just finished Passing in the Night, the story I wrote for Writers of the Future. So I’m feeling pretty good about myself. Not that anyone’s surprised by that. It came in at 11,975 words, so it’s quite a bit …
Shifting Gears
I put Masters on hold for a while, starting the middle of last week. I’m up to 45,500 words, and have a clear end point in sight. But last week I realized it was halfway through March, and the deadline …
Sales! And updates!
First off, Damsel has sold twice this month so far: once on the Amazon UK Store and once on their US Store. Considering I’ve done nothing in the way of promotion except this blog, facebook, and a couple comments on …
Nearly Done
After about 2,000 words today, I’m up to 41,300 words on Masters. I just finished a scene that is just beautiful in its poetic justice. I absolutely love it. So that makes about 4,000 words for the weekend. Not as …
