My writing blog |
I don't have a muse, and never have. I'm afraid that if I did have one, she would be a small Chinese woman standing in the doorway, looking significantly at her watch every minute or so while I dug around in the sofa searching for enough loose change to pay for the chicken-fried rice. On the whole, I think I do better without her. |

Some readers may already have heard the pounding of my happy feet, but I received a very exciting letter the day before yesterday. I submitted five poems to Strong Verse , an online poetry magazine, and the letter said: Thank you for submitting your poems to Strong Verse. We would like to publish all five poems that you sent. Could you please send me your mailing address along with a brief bio if you’d like that included. Our editor, Mr. Card, couldn't say enough good about your poetry -- he absolutely loves it and would love to see more. A pretty exciting letter in any case, since Strong Verse is a paying market and had a 0.0% acceptance rate for the past year, but more exciting when I found out that the "Mr. Card" mentioned is Orson Scott Card, the author of Ender's Game. Yowza! By the way, if you have not read Ender's Game, go get it and read it. Simply one of the best sci-fi novels of all time. |
I have had a business blog for about six years elsewhere, but I thought it was about time to start a writing blog. Not sure what I'll use it for yet, to brag or to give advice or to meander through the deeper recesses of my mind. In any case, you are all welcome to come along for the ride and find out with me. |
