Dark Crystal Author Quest - Done!

My goal was to get my Dark Crystal Authorquest submission turned in before Christmas, and I met that goal at 7:10 pm last night. It feels good to know that now it’s out of my hands. When I got the confirmation message from the Jim Henson Company (and

Up to My Eyeballs

My status over at gmail, which is where I keep my “freelance/writing” account, claims that I’m “up to my eyeballs in writing projects.” And the end of the year certainly is a busy time for writers, but now that we’re on the last day of November, I’

I Have a Plan!

So, I’ve made my decision: I’m not going to do NaNoWriMo this year. I don’t want to abandon my revisions of ETD when I have good momentum going, especially since I want to have it ready to submit to Delacorte Press’s Young Adult Novel contest, which

Another Niche Opportunity

I just came across this Call for Essays for a book about being single and Catholic. The deadline is April 30, which is very close, but the essay length is 500 words or less. Something that could be whipped up in a hurry and still adequately revised in 6 weeks

Writing Contests

It looks like Delacorte Press is holding their young adult novel contest this year after all. It’s a good thing I finally started writing again today. Also, the WeBook Poetry Contest is now open for judging. I got an email from them today congratulating me on entering the contest.

Essentially, it’s a vast web community of writers and readers who write, upload, read, and critique the user-generated content on the site. From

How to Cheat During NaPoWriMo

After confessing that I was stressing about a poem a day, a friend left a comment with this site that would allow NaPoWriMo cheating, if one does so desire. Here’s the poem I got: A mountainous range stood before the cold Little Red Riding Hood Scoff not at my

Submission Opportunity: Unsent Letters

On Jenny‘s advice, I just started reading the Freelance Home Writer blog, and I found the coolest submission opportunity EVER there yesterday. Apparently some peeps are putting together a book and a blog of Unsent Letters — and they’ll pay you if they select your letter for the blog

Submission Opportunities

Just when I think I’m going to settle into a long stretch of just me and my novel, another submission opportunity comes my way, reminding me of my New Year’s Resolution. So, while I don’t have ideas for either of these, I’m hoping I might be

Two down, four to go

Well, I finally did it: I just sent of my short story submission to QueeredFiction. It feels liberating to have it gone. Now it’ll be someone else’s problem for a while. 😉 Although I didn’t blog about it here, a few weeks ago I queried The Writer magazine

Weekend Writing Opportunity

I apologize for missing a post yesterday; I was on the road and found my internet connection at my destination a little sketchy. Since I’m often out of town on weekends, I’m going to post writing and publishing opportunities every weekend. You can spend all that time you
