On Thursday, I got word that my story, “Castaway,” will be published in the Summer issue of the Boston Literary Magazine.
The story is a recent creation, and a “literary” one at that, meaning that it doesn’t feature werewolves, vampires, private eyes, mobsters, purveyors of “the worlds most dangerous game”, hobbits, or quantum [...]
Perhaps I should have noted this three weeks ago.
On February 13th, 2009, I finished the first draft of my novel, The Siege of Thaddeus Wilkes.
5 months (if you count planning and outlining, which I do), 128,000 words and 563 pages later, I have something that just might be something.
One day.
For now, I can’t really describe [...]
The March issue of Niteblade magazine is out and my story “Guzman’s Labyrinth” is contained within. If you haven’t checked out Niteblade before, I’d highly recommend it. Great fiction, reviews and poetry in the horror and fantasy vein.
There is a free version of the issue up on the site, and an add-free PDF available for [...]
At one time or another, I had intended to post a daily update of my progress with NaNoWriMo this year.
HA!
Intentions are great, no?
Lesson #1 on the Words of Redemption blog: Don’t listen to what Brandon says he plans to do until he actually does it.
In any case, NaNoWriMo itself is going swimmingly. I hit 34,224 [...]

Late last week, I got word that Niteblade Magazine wants to publish Guzman’s Labyrinth in the March 2009 issue.
Being that this blog is primarily about my wandering journey into writing, I thought it was worth mentioning.
I’m certainly pretty excited…
You might remember Guzman’s Labyrinth from a Write What You See [...]
Today is Blog Action Day, a day when thousands of bloggers come together to discuss a single issue.
Today that issue is poverty.
For my post on this blog, I’ve chosen to re-post a story I wrote for the Compassion Blog about the first time I met Ana Maria, a little girl from the Dominican Republic who [...]
It’s time to share some stories for July’s Write What You See, the monthly micro-fiction challenge.
Here’s the teaser.
So did you compose a 200 word masterwork?
Did you write a six-word story to describe what you saw in this picture?
Well, my mom did, and she rocked it! In fact, leave her a comment there or here.
Word on [...]
Want this button?
She actually did it this time.
Robin made up a new poetic form, for real.
This isn’t an obscure form that I’ve decided to blame Robin for inventing, as I have done in the past.
This one is a Pensieve Original Creation, or POC.
The form: A Pensieve.
And it’s really, really [...]
It’s time for the results!
On monday, I posted the photo for the first Write What You See challenge, with instructions to write a piece of flash- or micro-fiction1, post the story on your blogs and return here on Friday to throw them into the mix.
Here’s the photo again:
I know that you’ve all written wonderful stories [...]
If we’re Twitter friends, you may have noticed–from early morning tweets–that I’m working on edits for a short story.
It’s not Until Durango, that one’s done… again.
This one is tentatively called “The Silent Funeral,” and it’s actually part of the novel I started working on last November.
So yes, I am finally working on my novel again.
About [...]
