A small press I have enjoyed working with has had its editorial team exit. I have one unpublished story in one of their anthologies set for next year. I love this particular story and was excited for it to be published.
The press hasn’t commented on the situation yet, but it’s a bummer situation.

Finished the first draft of the 11 min screen play I was working on. It is poorly formatted and has plenty of what I’ll call “author notes,” but I have something to polish and edit now. (Don’t get me started on the dialogue).
Thank you to all for the advice to just push on!

The fantasy of success feels amazing. But the reality of deliberate practice, the learning, the daily work, the coaching, the feedback, the community, is worth so much more. Don't chase the outcome. Fall in love with the practice.

Currently paralyzed while writing a screen play. I’ve spent a lot of time looking up all the different formatting (music cue, flashback, quick cuts) and only got 3 pages in. I’m going to just write and then format after.
Any advice? #amwriting #WritingCommunity #screenplay

Finished submitting a Drabble (100 word story). Always feels great to send out something when I’ve been working on a longer story. It keeps me motivated.

Did anyone else submit to the Coverfly Red List Marketing Consideration at Roadmap Writers? It’s been 3 months since my submission.
I was also wondering if anyone else has had any success with them or has any opinions on this program.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Tool this Halloween season. It’s a good change up from soundtracks and Rob zombie.

A year ago, I was overwhelmed as I tried to complete a novel. I received a text asking if I wanted to write a comic. I almost declined despite being excited. Now, the comic book in print and I’m onto issue #2!
Long story short, don’t take opportunities for granted!
