Life and Things

Since my blog is like a year overdue for an update, here's some general updates on the happenings in my life.

Early this year I took a new job where I work three 13 hour days a week, and have 4 day weekends every day. While the three days at work are quite long, the extended weekends have proven great for my writing, and I'm even able to set aside about one day each week that I can more or less dedicate to writing.

Through that I've been doing comics reviews at The Outhouse, co-hosting a podcast, I joined a short fiction workshop online, and I've been submitting a number of stories for publication.

Speaking of my podcast, We Write Weird Shit will be picking back up for the second season in a few weeks! This season will take place in Limbo, and as with the first season, each episode will feature an original story inspired by listener suggestions.

I'm also putting together a mini writing retreat for my local writer compatriots! We're going to nab a cabin somewhere nearby and lock ourselves in for a long weekend of productivity. I'm working on coming up with a novella for it.

Do Gyndroids Dream of Electric Dicks? has gotten pretty much nowhere since I finished the first draft. New goal is to have a manuscript ready when Eraserhead Press opens for submissions in April. Once they reject it, I'll start sending it around to more fitting places like New Kink.

No publication announcements yet, but I have 6 submissions out and another 4 in the works, so I hope to have more news on that front soon! I'll update here and on the Projects page when there's more to say.

That's all today. Maybe I'll pick one of my old features back up. What do you want to see here while we wait to hear back from publishers?
