Story before identity–then, now, and forever
Not once, during my most voracious phase as a reader, during those summers spent at the library, did I once go, “Hmm, I want to read a book by a/an [insert identity group] writer.”
A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part six)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Mar. 2nd, 2018 Are we there yet? Anyone who has spent five days in a conference room, six nights in a hotel bed, and played Russian roulette with every meal in a strange place not famous for its culinary delights (yes, I’m a foodie; sueContinue reading “A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part six)”
A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part five)
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Mar. 1st, 2018 The fifth story was an exploration of dragons. The first thing the buying editor admitted to was the fact that she did not articulate what she wanted as well as she thought she had. Unfortunately, that wasn’t apparent until she got the stories andContinue reading “A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part five)”

A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part four)
Part One Part Two Part Three Feb. 28th, 2018 The theme for story four was “chances,” and although there were plenty of clues in the submission call that it was to be a romance anthology, it was never explicitly stated. Two people that take chances to be together didn’t say “romance” to everyone inContinue reading “A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part four)”

A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part three)
Part One Part Two Feb. 27th, 2018 The story for the third week had to do with strangers dealing with each other. And it was another one of those that made me scratch my head, especially the part about not wanting to read anything icky since it was a parent-child editorial team.

A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part two)
Part One. Feb. 26th, 2018 The workshop’s second assignment was another difficult one. The theme was “Broken Dreams” and the editor specified that she didn’t want the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” Even with the 8000-word limit, I wanted to skip this uncomfortable subject. But I had to try. Otherwise, I’d be wasting my timeContinue reading “A rejection is an opinion, not a death sentence (part two)”
