I wrote a lot of short stories last month, submitted them, got a lot of rejections, but this one found a home in one of my favourite indie mags. So, don’t let rejections get you down, just continue submitting

I hope this resonates with others who’ve been going through some stuff ♥
Inspiration strikes! Your muse has finally appeared and blessed you with a story, fully formed! It’s so vivid in your mind. It’s engaging, impactful, expressive, and beautiful. All you need to do now is put pen to paper and move it from nine o’clock to three o’clock....
I’ve been writing much more consistently over the last few years after a years-long hiatus starting in college. Basically, I dropped all my useless expectations of what my writing should be and started to pay a lot more attention to my own writing sensibilities. I’ve been leaning into the way I like to write without regard...
So, the rule is that if you have a single character speaking across multiple paragraphs, you don’t use end quotes on those paragraphs. I get the intent of the rule, but I think it looks awful and is jarring....
Many times when writing, I get a very specific image in my head of the way I want something to look, or the way I want something to move. Particularly with actions where objects are moving in a very specific way, I want to describe them accurately so that most readers would see the same thing that I’m seeing in my head. The...
I’m planning a sci-fi and fantasy webseries. It probably won’t go anywhere, so don’t get too excited, but I need help with the plot of one episode....
Here’s mine. He’s a vigilante hacker in my future L.A. universe. I think this couldn’t describe how he looks in my head better. What does your character look like?
Here’s the second entry in my weekly, alphabetically titled short stories that take place in my science fiction/fantasy universe. Thanks for reading and for any feedback or reactions.
Over the next few months, I’ll be participating in Alphabet Superset and sharing my short stories across the internet. Yesterday marked the end of Week A, and I posted an introduction to my collection of short stories, as well as the first short that I’ve been working on for the past couple years on and off. I would describe...
This post might sound like an advertisement (which it partly is, of course, you don’t try to get published if you don’t want people to read your stuff) but I want to use this post to encourage other new writers....

Between these two pitches, which sounds more interesting?...
Writing about what you learn can deepen your understanding in several ways. It requires thoroughly exploring topics, articulating your thoughts clearly, and reflecting on connections. This process reveals gaps and inconsistencies in your knowledge. Regular writing also improves retention and communication skills long-term. The...
So I have been writing since... I can remember, let's say at least 15 years. From short stories about all kinds of stuff to more fleshed out things, I just love expressing myself creatively, you get what I mean right?...
Deep in the darkness...
This morning I decided to compete with ChatGPT on who could write the best short story given my original idea. I assume my story idea is original because I have never heard of a story about this before....
