The Year of Getting Serious
My Hollywood Creative Directory is on its way. I received one of my two first script queries back in the mail as undeliverable. D’oh! Short fiction markets are all over the Internet, but this is not the case for the places I want to send scripts. (The online...First draft done on hurricane story.

Yes, it’s the obligatory New Year’s resolutions post! I’m sure you can hardly wash. Yay! Write more. I did poorly with the short story deadlines, but maybe they were too short. One short story a month, excepting March, June, and November, which...Year in Review
