Some exciting news! My short story “Beanstalk” has been published in OG’s Speculative Fiction. This is my first time appearing in that magazine. You can read the current issue here.
Now, I know I haven’t posted here in a while. So, here’s what’s happened regarding my writing since my last post: I received a rejection from a professional market (sigh!) but it came with news that the story made the second round, and an invitation to submit again - which I haven’t done, as I don’t think I have anything suitable for that market.
I’ve been posting weekly over at Adventures in Writing. And I’ve been writing posts on another non-fiction blog dealing with a criminal case that has gotten my attention.
Also, on the non-writing side, I’m taking some online courses for my regular day job. I’ve been doing these on my own time, and yes, it’s time-consuming but important, and as a result my own fiction writing has been suffering a little lately. I’m not worried about it though, as I’ll be done with this course work soon.
I’ll be writing more regularly and posting here again soon, and also, I’ll be catching up on all the blogs I like to read.
Good to hear from you, and congratulations on the publication
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate; be careful not to overdo it!
kudos! we’re so lucky to have you on the team blog. you totally rock… wish we lived closer
Diane, I’m so impressed. Michelle turned me on to your blog and writings. I can’t wait to tell Michael about it, he is a HUGE sci-fi/fantasy fan and always reading something, now he can read works by family. I just read your short story “Pilgrims. Nice. All the best.
Mary, I was in touch with Michelle about a month or so ago when I signed up for Facebook. I didn’t like that service, so I deactivated my account. I didn’t realize Michelle had visited this blog. But I’m glad you found it.
Congratulations on the story!
Congratulations on the story. Sorry it’s so late. I had a bay and haven’t really been online for a few weeks.
