Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
I've just wrapped up Week 2 of my September Submission Challenge, where I challenge myself to submit 30 times in 30 days.

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 →
Rather than recap everything I've been up to since October (it's been a bit hectic), I'm just going to start off with a clean slate and jump right into what I want to accomplish in March this year. As usual, I'll be breaking my goals down into the following categories: Writing, Reading, Social, and Household.... Continue Reading →
