November is over, meaning National Novel Writing Month has concluded. As mentioned in my last post, I hit the word count goal of 50 thousand words on November 16th, so I "won" NaNoWriMo pretty early on. In that post, I wrote about trying to hit 100 thousand words by the end of the month as... Continue Reading →
So, before we get into my NaNoWriMo updates, I want to make a correction. In my last blog post, I mentioned that this was the first time since 2019 that I was participating in NaNo. That wasn't true. I did, in fact, participate in NaNo in 2020. I wrote over 73 thousand words in November... Continue Reading →
For the first time since 2019, I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year. For those not as immersed in the online writing community as I am, National Novel Writing Month is an annual event in November, where writers challenge themselves to write fifty thousand words of a novel over thirty days.

Every year I start this blog post thinking that I'm getting to it late only to realize that the previous year, I wrote it even later. Maybe one of these years I'll get to it in January, or, I don't know, maybe I'll even get it prepped in December, but for now, I'll be satisfied... Continue Reading →
I'm delighted to announce that my first published story of 2023 is now available to read in the Winter 2023 issue of The Colored Lens. "Three-Piece String Assassination" is one of my quirkier stories. It follows a string band of aspiring assassins attempting to complete a mission that will change their lives forever. This piece...

I'd say it's that time of year again, but seeing as I've never bothered to write an awards eligibility post before, I can't really say that now can I? A part of me didn't want to write this post. It feels weird asking people to consider nominating my stories for awards, but this is part... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned at the start of the month, a project I'm part of has been running a Kickstarter campaign throughout November. Habitats Magazine is a new science fiction magazine focusing on optimistic and uplifting science fiction. I had a lot of fun working on my piece for Habitats, and I'd love to have the...

As I mentioned in my November Goals blog post, I have a story that's part of a project that's running a Kickstarter campaign during the month of November. Habitats is a new magazine dedicated to highlighting optimistic science fiction. The project is looking to raise $23,000 US to fund the production of the first volume.... Continue Reading →
