Spirit Of The Ucanians was rejected. I don’t feel too bad though. He actually sent a short response and signed it himself. He said it just didn’t grab his attention. I cant control that (well, sort of). I’m just geeky enough to get a thrill from it. A personal rejection letter from a major publisher [...]

The deadline to the writers workshop at ArmadilloCon that is. But it’s ok. Looks like my short story is gonna go past their 5000 word count limit anyway. The last scene has been kicking my butt. I have the characters and the situation but getting to where I want them to go has been tough. [...]

Yep. Still kickin. Been working on my new short entitled Spirit Of the Ucanians. It’s sci-fi-/horror and I’m having a blast writing it. Lelee’s Treasure is still a work in process as well but I dont know when it will be done. It’s in the hands of a honors English teacher getting worked over. Lord [...]

     I just noticed I missed the whole month of January and about half of February without making a post. Not that this is going to be anything earth shattering. I just wanted to let people know that I am still alive and well and chasing the dream. I kinda have two dreams going right [...]

     Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New Year.       I’m starting to get some things wrapped up in my personal life and am looking forward to get back to writing more in the future. I will still try to stay away from politics and editorials on here, although I would love [...]

Just got feedback on my submission (electronic) and the editorial associate hates it. My problem is that looking at her response , we have a totally different view of what I am trying to say and the way I’m trying to say it. Different tastes so to speak. Take the opening chapter of Lelee’s Treasure. Here’s what she [...]

     I’m going through a slow part of my story right now. It’s just not coming the way that I want it to but it’s OK. I’ve been here before. Everything is outlined and should just flow right along right? I guess not. But I’m not sweating it. The more I work on it, the [...]

Well that’s it for chapter three. Call the first three chapters a short story if you want but I promise the whole story is just waiting to be finished. I have tried to let my character do the speaking and I hope I have captured his manner and tone. Personally I think he likes bashing heads, but [...]

     Looks like my blog is going to break 10,000 hits this month which is a milestone for me. Everybody wants to know whats going on with the famous writers looks like. Which is understandable. Honestly if you ever get a chance to go (assuming your a aspiring writer or just a geek) make the [...]

     Alrighty then…The final part of chapter two of Lelee’s Treasure is  finished and posted, (edit 7/12/07). Thanks again to every one who stops by. I’m going to try a different format for chapter three and post snippets of the edited material as I go and then move it to it’s own page when it is [...]
