I've just wrapped up Week 2 of my September Submission Challenge, where I challenge myself to submit 30 times in 30 days. I left off Week 1 two submissions ahead of schedule so I could have taken a couple of days off to work on new stuff or revise some old pieces, but there were... Continue Reading →

I swear, I am writing some book reviews and a blog post about my trip to the States and the Nebula Conference, they're taking a while to get done because I've actually been writing and having fun with it for the first time since maybe November last year.

I feel as though I'm truly starting to find a good balance between my work life, my writing life, and my home life. I don't feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew as I've been setting myself up for success with manageable goals. When August ended, I didn't feel the need to... Continue Reading →
July was a good writing/publishing month for me: I had two stories published, one original and one reprint; I won a literary award; and I was solicited to submit a short story to a magazine. I also became eligible to apply for full SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association) membership which has been a... Continue Reading →
Before we get into what I want to achieve this month, let's look at what I managed to get done in June. You can read my post with my June 2022 Goals here. I wanted to submit one short story a week during June, and I did. It felt a bit weird to get back... Continue Reading →
