The goal of getting a story placed in Cemetery Dance magazine continues to elude me. “New Moon” earned a rejection slip the other day. It took a while. I was starting to get hopeful. Then it came back. I just got it sent off to another magazine, and “Noodlers Nab Nekkid Nymphs” went out again,…

The other day a friend and former co-worker sent me info on a communications job in OKC. The money was quite a bit more than I’m making now and the employer was interested in someone who had both journalism and corporate writing experience. I didn’t pursue it. I like what I’m doing. I’m not sure…

Well, I didn’t make it to ConDFW today like I thought I would. Just too much going on. Hopefully I’ll get to see most of the folks I’m missing at the other cons this summer. It looks like the Oklahoma Speculative Fiction Group might happen. That’s very cool. Adrian Simmons is the man putting it…

I got a note from another Scrybe Press author. Scrybe has published RT Mitchell’s Tattooing Violet. This one was advertised with my Seven Days in Benevolence and John Passarella’s All Heaven in a Rage as an Oct. 2006 release. Show Rick some love and give his book a try.

All right, winter has hung around long enough. I’m tired of it. It snowed all day today. It didn’t stick to anything, which means we had all the cold and poor visibility with none of the fun. Well, fun for the kids, anyway. Just constant snow driven by a biting north wind. It was 70…

No word yet on Amara’s Prayer or Shara/Ulrik. That’s good, I think. My story “Noodlers Nab Nekkid Nymphs” did earn another rejection, though. And I can’t find a suitable place to send The Prometheus Syndrome. What publisher might be interested in a ghost/zombie/hillbilly/heavy metal horror novel set in the mid-1980s? Hmm. Last week in creative…

I do have one little piece of writing news. Mary Franklin and I seem to have put aside the issues we were having. Mary, you know, is the paranormal researcher I interviewed for Murdered by Human Wolves. She’s been asked to appear on The Montel Williams Show to talk about Katherine Cross. She said she’ll…

News about the Van Halen reunion have me feeling really nostalgic for the 1980s. Ah, those were good days. But I suppose everyone thinks that about the decade when they were teenagers. It probably has more to do with have just the right amount of responsibility … a car and a job, but the only…

I wrote my first referral yesterday. It was for a kid put into my Creative Writing class this past Monday. Today I contacted a coach and told him that if he didn’t straighten out one of his dumb kids (put in my class the same day) I’d send that kid to the office, too. Tonight…

Sara’s having a spat with one of her friends. That friend, supposedly, has been calling Sara’s main friend names and sending her messages saying she should go away so she can hang out with Sara more. This evening, another of Sara’s friends was here, on my desktop computer, logged onto the computer as Sara, and…
