Last Week, In Review

Another week and another several thousand words!

NaNoWriMo went a little bit better this week. Most likely because I got out of the house and spent many hours at a coffee shop typing away. Though I am not anywhere near the goal for today (26,372), I am getting there. Currently at 14,067- last week I did 13,829 of that. So this last week has been my best, by far.

On the other hand, I didn't do my daily challenge of 500 words a day, too busy with everything else.

My short story "Scattered Souls" that was published in Shadows and Light has been nominated for an award. Final decision on whether or not it fits into the Heroic Fantasy, is still pending. But its still great that the editor thought enough of it to send it for the Ham Size Fist Award.

I was also accepted into the Fictioneers this week. Which a group, or "club", of fiction writers.

A new project was offered to me, as well. A collaborative zombie novel! There are 14 authors, each will write two chapters. So far there isn't a title, but the first two chapters were written this weekend. I will keep you posted as to title and release date.

Very exciting and rewarding week! Here's to another one just like it, or better.

Happy writing to all of you writers out there.

Flash Fiction 40 Contest Finalist July 2009

For my new readers, this is old news, I'm just cleaning up the sidebar of my blog.
Back in July I wrote my first Flash Fiction and entered my first writing contest with it. There were 280 entries and open voting from members. My piece "Blind Justice" made it to the editors top 40 and was published, with 39 other great tales, by Smashwords and Editors Unleashed. If you get the chance, check out the FREE ebook. You can also print it out from your home computer.
