Julia Can’t has been rejected by Take-a-Break. Very politely, of course! The signature was photocopied, so I figure it’s a form rejection (it looks like one). I have faith in this story, so I’ll try a few other women’s mags before I retire it, though I’m going to have to tweak the length for the [...]

My future is a little up in the air at the moment, work-wise. My contract’s come to an end and I’ve decided not to reapply, so I’m having fun with job applications. Until I actually move on, though, I’m still doing a lot of admin stuff, which means I’m coming into contact with a lot [...]

I’ll try and get back to a regular posting schedule next week. No promises, since I’m in London next weeked, working the weekend after, and in Cambridge the weekend after that. Anyway, I’ve prepped Julia Can’t to submit to Take a Break. I was actually inspired to do so by My Weekly’s March/April guidelines. I [...]

Sorry for the radio silence. I’ve been prepping Pluvial and Seeds (or, as the folders are called, Watch and Plantbaby. I sometimes need a run up on titles!) for Drollerie’s Ghost Story anthology. I love them to bits, but their submission guidelines were rather me complex than I anticipated. It’s taken me over an hour [...]

Sorry for the radio silence yesterday; I’ll rectify that shortly. I’ve just finished revising Tease (which really shouldn’t have taken this long) and resubmitted it to Loose-Id. Fingers crossed!

No One Can Hear You is up at Three Crow Press. Looks like it was server issues ^_^ I’ve already spotted a mistake (my own – editing error!) which I’ll ask if they can fix once the server’s settled again. In the mean time, see if you can find it!

I’m very good at waiting, until a deadline goes past. Personally, I’m not keen on that whooshing sound (unless it’s a self-set vague deadline…) Say you’ve submitted something, and they don’t get back in the time suggested? You know it’s probably something perfectly reasonable: the editor is ill, their internet is down, they got considerably [...]

I’ve submitted the banshee story to Three Crow Press for their erotica issue. Fingers crossed! However I’m also bang-smack in the middle of moving, and will lose home internet at somet point this week (for who knows how long!). So I hope I get a response either before or after then. My back is no [...]

I feel some kind of summing up post is required.It’s not been a partciularly busy year, writing wise, but it has definitely had some significant acheivements. In January this year my first story was accepted by a paying market. I discovered Flashes in the Dark, nad got my first acceptance from them as well (and [...]

Sorry for the radio silence recently. Life has beeen ‘somewhat’ hectic. I still owe you multiple jam recipes, and a write-up of Jess Meats’s book launch. Bedknobs and Beanstalks is coming out next Tuesday! I have coverart to show you all, and share the other author’s blogs, because they’re awesome, but I won’t get a [...]
