I promised you a part two to this post last week and I finally got around to writing it. Yay!. We already talked about the submissions process, our file management system, and the types of stories we receive over at the Goldfish. So today, we’re going to take a look at the types of submitters …
Those of you who follow my blog (or read my ravings on Twitter) know it’s been a busy couple of months. Still, I’m not one for making excuses and I have a confession to make: My submission numbers have been pretty poor, yo. Last year, I was excellent at resubmitting stories. Rejection comes in? That …
I realize this is late for a year-in-review post, but this is really more for my own amusement and record than anything else. Self-indulgent? Maybe. But here it goes anyway. As a part of 2011, I joined the W1S1 effort. That is, I strived to write and submit a story each week. Though I started …

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 2009 Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a writer. Okay, so that might be overstating things a bit. I can distinctly remember a period when I was fifteen or so when I didn’t want to be much of anything. However, when I was three, hadn’t a clue about …
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2009 I’ve never really blogged about my fiction writing before, specifically the submittal process, so I thought I’d take an opportunity to do that right now.
