Read MoreMicro Fiction: Succession
So now that I am no longer judging cracked flash, I get to enter again. That means a fresh wave of stories posted here, since in order to enter my favorite, prize-less weekly contest, I make my stories “published” by posting them in the comments section that anyone can see, which means no lit mag…
Read MoreChicken, Vegetables and Pasta with White wine Butter Sauce
As you may know from my previous posts, in-between writing, gardening and preparing for the up coming semester, I have been on the hunt for the perfect white wine butter sauce.

Read MorePersistence
I’ve said this dozen’s of times and probably will say it a dozen more times, but persistence is the key to getting your work published. You need to be persistent in the early stages.
