When to Let a Story Go
Sometimes it seems like a story just isn’t going anywhere. We’ve worked and reworked it a hundred times, but it never seems quite right. Agents and publishers alike perpetually reject it (something I discussed last week), and it’s getting downright disheartening. At this point, it may be time to do the unthinkable: to go aheadContinue reading “When to Let a Story Go”
How to Handle Rejection
Writers are no strangers to rejection. Barring incredible luck or lots of connections, even the most famous of published authors were often turned down many times before their work was accepted. And in some cases, even once published, their work was rejected by the readers of their own day. Now, everybody has his or herContinue reading “How to Handle Rejection”
Plans for December
November was another busy month. Though not all I’d hoped for, it was nevertheless quite productive in its own way. It saw some progress on my latest Sauragia rough draft, the completion of half of the rough draft of a novella started only this month, and a little bit of progress on a translation projectContinue reading “Plans for December”

Happy Veterans’ Day!
It is now 104 years to the day since the ceasefire that effectively ended WWI, but we have not forgotten. At least, some of us haven’t. To those who give their all to keep this country safe, my heartfelt thanks. God bless, and have a wonderful day.
Plans for November
October was a very full month. There were a few days of relative inaction, but most were spent entirely on this project or that–especially where it came to setting up ads and promos for Knights of Aralia, which I put on pre-order back on the 7th (details here). November will be most interesting. Though myContinue reading “Plans for November”
