Yesterday I joined Goodreads and I'm still trying to figure out the site, but I like it.
It's a great place to read book recommendations and keep track of what you've read and want to read. I haven't posted all my book recommendations or anything, but I thought I might tell you all what's on my "to read list" so far. Maybe you can share your ( Read more... )

We've all probably heard them: the people who say "Learn the rules." and the people who say "In writing there are no rules." Well, guess what. They are both right. Yes, both. And I know this all sounds like a contradiction, bit it's not. It's a paradox. It sounds like a contradiction, but it's true.However, there is a simpler way to explain this ( Read more... )

I've been out all day and away from computers, but don't worry I'm here with my promised post of the day. :D

So it looks like I posted all of my updates yesterday and I don't have much to say...
But it's me so I'll come up with a few things.

My story True Names developed a few changes thanks to editing and advice from a beta reader. Now the story is ( Read more... )

I finally submitted Hit and Run to The Literary Hatchet. It's a new Horror magazine and in their website you can download their entire issues for free, so if my story gets published I'll give you the download link. I have my fingers crossed.

Apart from that, my novel editing is WAY behind. I was supposed to be done yesterday. I guess I'll have to ( Read more... )

It's Random Post Wednesday and I have a few things to say.

First of all, yesterday I finally sent out Two of Her to Zoetrope: All Story. :)
The response might take a couple of months but that's all right. I sent it out!

I've also finished Hit and Run. You may or may not remember, but I mentioned I was working on this story a few days ago. Well, it's ( Read more... )

As promised, today I officially begin the blog's posting itinerary, and the tip of the day is dealing with advice contradictions.

A common complaint among writers is how conflicting writing advice can be. Some editors will say something, and publishers or agents will tell you exactly the opposite. A few days ago I felt my head would burst because ( Read more... )

Family vacation is over. I'm back home, which is niece and at the same time sad. I was liking the niece time out of the house with my family.
But everything has an end, doesn't it?

On other news, Tow Hers, the story I mentioned on my previous entry, is now called Two of Her and it's almost complete.  I'm formatting it for submission and putting in ( Read more... )

I haven't posted for a couple of days, so I suppose it's time for an update.

I haven't gotten much time to work on my writing lately, since like I mentioned in my previous post, I'm in vacation with my family. Still, it's hard for me to stay away from writing related stuff, so I've managed to squeeze in some editing late at night while I'm free, or ( Read more... )

So I've guess you've all noticed the new layout. I hope you're enjoying it and you are welcomed to give me suggestions or tell me if you like how the blog is looking or not.

Also I will like to point out something you may have not noticed. On the side bar, under "Navigation", you may find a link that says "About Me & The Blog". The link will bring ( Read more... )

I was planning on posting my novel's pitch* for this post, but I realized that maybe it's best if I wait until my novel complete and I'm ready to start querying agents. So what will I write about now? I don't know. I begin this post in blank, but don't worry I shall make it readable after I edit.
Actually... I just got an idea... plotting and ( Read more... )
