Somehow, a week has managed to come and go. Don’t ask me how, I couldn’t explain why the Earth spins, or how I could possibly have done so little in the week that just passed. Yup, did almost nothing again. Ok, that’s not exactly true I suppose, just didn’t make much headway with my writing [...]

After a lengthy bike ride, I found my way to Algonquin College. Unfortunately my reason for going there that day was a bust as I had forgotten something at home, but I decided to explore the place anyways. It took me an hour to get there, so I may as well explore, let my biking [...]

So here I am, posting a day late. Sorry everyone, just didn’t feel much like blogging yesterday. Have I been writing a lot like I’m supposed to be? Afraid not. In fact, I’m already dreadfully behind on my goal, having just spent two of the past seven days actually writing. I don’t even have an [...]

It’s hard to believe that I’ve already been in Ottawa for over a week. I’ve spent so much time biking around, exploring the area, getting caught up with friends, and preparing for school that I feel absolutely exhausted. I suppose that’s part of the reason why I chose to stick around the house today (well [...]

I have arrived in our nation’s capital, spent more money moving than I had hoped, unpacked, and setup my work station. I have things hooked up and ready to go. I have to give huge thanks to Andy and Steph for giving me a hand on the Sudbury side of things. And an equally huge [...]

Ok, so it’s been a bit longer than expected since my last post. Don’t worry everyone, I’m not dead. Just been a little busy. My fiancee was home earlier than expected on Thursday, and left again late yesterday. In the interest of a future happy marriage, and our personal greed, we spent the whole time [...]

I’ve had a busy week. Once again, it never quite goes the way you would hope, but it can be busy anyways. My main projects this week were to get some critiques finished up, and get my first draft of a haunted doll story written. I managed the critiques: two short stories and a novel. [...]

Yeah, I remember what I wrote last week. I had mentioned that I wanted to finish off another one of my WIPs that I’ve already had critiqued. I had floated across the idea of completing “Blood & Puppies.” Well, obviously, I got side-tracked. I began putting together the horror review portion of the site, and [...]

It’s the end of the month. It’s also the deadline for Chizine’s 15th Short Story Contest. Almost 11 hours ago, I submitted “Thrown Away” to the contest after a whirlwind three days of extensive editing and revising. That editing and revising added over 500 words to the story and greatly expanded on setting and characters, [...]
