Write of Passage

Oh, I forgot to mention! Dudes! I got my first rejection letter last week!* Two-sentence form letter with a stamped signature and everything. Not even a hastily scribbled “Keep Trying!” on it.

A true rite of passage this is. Keep hitting milestones like this, and I will be a Famous Author in no time.

Meanwhile, off to find another magazine that’ll publish my story. And give Captain Crazypants another shot, of course.

(No, I am not actually discouraged—this is supposed to happen, I understand. And the story’s actually darn good. It just wasn’t that editor’s favorite.)


*I’m not entirely sure if the “Congratulations, you almost won” letter from the Captain Crazypants L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future people counts, because it wasn’t quite a rejection. This certainly was.

Book Addicts

Hey, book nerds!

The Grand High Bibliophile queenlyzard has been putting together a community for … well, for book nerdery! It’s been revving up the past couple of months, and the plan is to make it into a place to swap book recommendations and answer questions that will hopefully start discussions on various books.

So if you’re interested, check out bookaddiction. We could always use more nerds.
