Wednesday, June 29, 2011

Unless I already know you and have specifically told you I will look at your writing, don’t send it to me. I won’t read it, I won’t critique it, I won’t respond to it in any way whatsoever: I will delete it and block all contact from you. I don’t have the time or inclination [...]

Today I walked to work, and at the halfway point, I realized it was a terrible mistake. The air outside today is humid and stifling, and the glare off the Hudson was excruciating. I wore sandals that I thought I’d broken in, but evidently they weren’t finished with me. I could feel the blisters forming [...]

This morning I reached for my big leather messenger bag, and noticed something slithering around it. Then the thing slipped inside. FUCK!

Um, FrankenNovel really IS a FrankenNovel…
secured payday loans

Monday, June 6, 2011

I’ve created a 2011 YA Novel Challenge page on my website, which lists all of the writers taking part, as well as a bit of info on my own novel. I honestly don’t know if my description of what I’m working on will be interesting in the least to anyone. It sort of sounds insane [...]
