One of the difficulties of approaching art of any kind is learning to drop your prejudices when encountering it. This is true regardless of what class of art you’re talking about. It’s very easy to dismiss something you haven’t read as without value, because if it had value, you’d have already appreciated it, right?… Read More Of Conan and Carver
Or, Volume 2, Issue 4, if you prefer. Last issue was WW1-related, this one dives into the existential murk that accompanies space travel. It has the recently-finished final three chapters of Void, and an Alfred Underhill short story, The Tribe. It’s good stuff. Read it for free at Joomag.
I just put the most satisfying words – THE END – an author ever composes onto Void. The last three chapters will be available in their entirety in the next issue of Unnamed Journal. Which means I’ve finished almost a week ahead of my June 1st deadline. Which means I’ve hit all my deadlines this year –… Read More That’s Three Novellas Done, Gang.
I’ve been told by people that it’s impressive how much progress I’m making in these projects I’m doing. I appreciate their appreciation, and prefer that I’m actually getting things done instead of aspiring to them. But I, as the author, know better. Void is a pain in my butt. Because I’ve been writing it for a… Read More Struggling Through the Void
A bunch of merry business has gone by. Allow me to fill you in: The Party At the Last Tomorrow is finished. Drafted, anyway. I’m going to go back in the summer and give it a thorough edit, tie down some loose threads, establish the things in the early chapters that I pantsed in the… Read More Pre-Vacation Update
In the past, I’d finish a chapter of something and let it marinate, let my juices recharge, get back to the next chapter when I’ve a mind to. That approach, it no worky. So the fifth Chapter of Void is finished. I’m not going to post a link to it, because Void chapters are spoken for by… Read More UJ9 Upcoming, Outlining LT6
Edit: Link was displaying messy code. Fixed now. Unnamed Journal, a magazine I have been known to write for, is now in its second year. It’s been available in print from POD houses, Blurb and Lulu, and in digital form on Amazon. For the new year, they’ve switched gears, going to online magazine publisher Joomag.… Read More Unnamed Journal 7 – Available for Free on Joomag.
Chapter 3 of Void got finished last night (I’ve made some minor edits to the first few chapters). It will be part of Unnamed Journal, Issue 7, which is supposed to be out November 15th. That will be our year anniversary issue, so check the Facebook Page. Big changes will be afoot: a free back… Read More Progress on the Writing Front
Some stuff I’ve been working on. Here’s a free chapter to The Party at the Last Tomorrow, my post apocalyptic homage to Edgar Allen Poe: Muse staggered her way along the Last Call Causeway, amid the broken rocks and occasional bones. Her brain was screaming at her to sleep. With each step the saccharine synth ploddings… Read More Free Fiction Fest
