Just tell me you hate it

Why take so long to let me know you don’t want to publish my writing or my book? I wish writers didn’t have to wait 4-6 months for a response especially since by month 4 I already know the answer is no. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch porn.

Rejections and more words

It seems my acceptance streak has officially come to an end. Got a few rejections today, but I wasn’t really surprised by them, so it doesn’t hurt too much. On the bright side, I managed to get a whole bunch of writing done (more than a thousand words) for my Children’s Writing class. As for my NaNoWriMo novel — I’m putting that on the backburner for now, since I don’t feel like I’m ready to really tackle writing a story I don’t know enough about yet. Also I have to write a 60 page script in two weeks so… yeah.

Good news, everyone!

Got another email yesterday — another creative non-fiction piece of mine has been selected for publication! Huzzah! I stared at the email for a few seconds because I just didn’t know how to process the news. I’ve been getting so many rejections this year that it almost seemed like a mistake. Two acceptances in a row! What is this???

It’s almost like I could actually be a writer. Imagine that.

Another rejection today

From a publication that produces gay-themed stuff too, which makes me a bit sadder than the usual rejection.

Sigh. But I gotta keep goin, right? Gotta keep going…

Places for Writers

I found this great website last night while posting links and resources for the blog for the Writing Centre at UBC, and it will now serve as a great motivator to get me to write and keep writing.  Places for Writers is a site that features submissions to publications, anthologies, books, etc. across Canada and the US.

Check it out!
