  Posted on Friday December 4th, 2009 at 08:42 in poetry, websites, publishing, short stories, Current Events, magazines, editing, ezines, the writing life, happy horseshit

  I was feeling a little ambitious lately — a bit of a departure for me as I’m one of the most unambitious people I know. Anyway, a couple months back, I’d decided that before the end of the year, I would not only write a novel, I would p...

• Prognosticators Be Damned

  Posted on Tuesday August 4th, 2009 at 21:20 in publishing, magazines, new media, random thoughts, ezines, happy horseshit

  I’ve come to the conclusion recently that those who attempt to forecast the future of publishing (myself included) are full of shit. Yes, they (We) are. I was reading a blog the other day about the “future” of literary magazine p...

• Some Days Ain’t So Easy

  Posted on Thursday March 5th, 2009 at 11:57 in ebooks, publishing, Current Events, random thoughts, ezines, the writing life, happy horseshit
