This anthology sounds so delightfully creepy, I can’t even begin to tell you. Potters Field Six wants stories about unmarked graves. It doesn’t have to be just about a potter’s field, of course, there are tons of historical mass graves. Think of the Catacombs in Paris. Honestly, this contest is making me rethink writing forContinue reading “Potters Field Six”

Why I’m Not A Journalist
I swear, this month has gone by so damn fast! I’m still convinced it’s actually March and someone’s punking me. I didn’t think I was old enough yet for the distortion of time to really set in, but I guess I am. Wish it would distort a little more while I’m on the clock. Anyway,Continue reading “Why I’m Not A Journalist”

Deadlines and Productivity
If creative writing lacks something, it’s accountability. If I don’t write short stories, no one cares much. If I miss a contest deadline, I don’t get to enter that contest, but that’s about the end of it. Pretty much, unless you’re under contract, your motivation is all carrot and a really small stick. That’s notContinue reading “Deadlines and Productivity”

Some really bad poetry
Please, be gentle. But it’s national poetry month, so I thought I’d share some of my own poetry this month in place of prose. Don’t forget, I’m still taking your poetry submissions all month long. I wake and you’re not there triolet I wake and you’re not there And now the year is turning TheContinue reading “Some really bad poetry”
