After taking classes in screenwriting and writing a few short ones of my own (only one of which is good … More The Structure of Scriptwriting vs. the Freedom of Novels

A New Frontier ~ Non-Traditional Fantasy
September 22, 2015
Today I found a unique anthology call for Guardbridge Books…well, maybe it isn’t so unique as I’m one of those nerdy Tolkien kind of fantasy lovers whose reaction to the Hobbit movies was oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-oh-my-gosh-are-they-really-making-a-movie-out-of-the-Hobbit-……-they’re-making-three!!!-oh!-my! gosh!-I-haaaaaave-to-go-see-that! *calmly looks around* Yes, I actually admitted that.

Why Personalized Rejection Letters Aren’t Entirely Rage Inducing
August 13, 2015
My tales are in into the realms of the speculative fiction / fantasy /sci-fi markets, and the first paying magazine I ever sent to was Shimmer. The stories were beautiful, the artwork was amazing, and I was immediately hooked. After reading through some of their stories, my 16ish-year-old self overconfidently declared: “I can write way … More Why Personalized Rejection Letters Aren’t Entirely Rage Inducing
Inspiration
August 11, 2015
Muses are weird. They just are. Who knows why writers and other artists get their inspiration from certain things.
