The more I deal with professionals in my career, the more I have to be vague. I’m not going to blog my rejections, or even who did them. It’s unprofessional, and if an agent/editor googles you and sees you talking crap about people who rejected you, you’re going to look bad.
If you and I [...]
I am a roach.
I may not impress you. The filth that I live in, and spread, is genre fiction. It’s ghetto fiction, it’s “why don’t you write something important?” fiction. Other insects—the delicate literary butterfly, the industrious nonfiction ants—look at me with disdain. Why write escapism? Why write about fantastical bullcrap?
The thing is, [...]
Back to editing the OMGDTN project. So quick blog post for the day.
K. Tempest Bradford is doing a write-a-thon to earn money for Clarion scholarships. I love this idea, and the Clarion foundation is a worthy charity to support scifi writers. I’ll be sponsoring, think you can donate five bucks or so? [...]

Write every day, hit your wordcount every day, you must write and write and write…
Well yeah. That is true. But sometimes you need a day off. As a freelance writer and podcaster, I rarely allow myself days off. Sure, I spend time with my family on weekends, but when the time comes for it [...]
Seriously, I’m not used to these long writing sessions. Yesterday I hit 6K words – 5K on the “OH MY GOD DO THIS NOW” project, and 1K on my Suicide Girls column. Once the kid was in bed, I had more time to write, but my brain said, “No. Uh uh. You’re done.”
I fiddled [...]
Sekrit project- 12K words so far. Two columns at 1000 words apiece, done as well. I am running out of words, so can’t blog much. Must write more…
So I feature the archives of perhaps the first great agent blog. Miss Snark was anonymous, and therefore allowed to say whatever she liked on [...]
So I have the super insane project going on now. And, just cause the Universe loves me that much, I also have both columns (Knights of the Dinner Table and Suicide Girls) due this week. So yesterday I said I was going to write 4500 words. 500 to finish the KODT column, 4000 on the [...]
I’ve been wanting to do more with this blog for a long time, so I decided to make ISBW your stop for news, query/writing advice, and writing prompts. I’m going to start updating the blogroll with excellent agent/editor blogs, twitter feeds, and other information. When I’m stuck for content, I’ll just feature a blog you [...]
