Editor's Note
A career as a writer is full of firsts. This week is the first time I accidentally finished plotting a story that was not, in fact, the story I began plotting. The character was no longer the same. The plot didn't match the thrust of the story idea I'd started with. The superlative story title I'd chosen did not accurately reflect the story at all.
So I set that story aside. I went back to the original story I was trying to plot. I made a point of considering where I'd come from as I tried to decide where I was going. That approach worked a little better, though I still need to figure out a few details. And now I'll have two stories plotted out and ready to go, even if one of them is more quiet and small in scope than the cup full of awesome I thought I was brewing! I could be cranky about accidentally derailing myself (I was a little cranky when I realized it), or I could be happy that I now have !bonus! story.
There are always going to be "firsts" in a writing career. Some of them are wonderful. Some of them will feel like they are unmitigated awfulness at first, but if you look hard enough, you can usually find another viewpoint. After all, that's what writers do, isn't it?
What I've been up to lately, writing-wise:
Kindle | B&N | Google Play | iTunes
In the realm of non-fiction, my article on registering copyright has been published by FundsforWriters at http://www.fundsforwriters.com/december-27-2013/ .
Keep writing, keep submitting, and good luck!

Featured Market
From green revolutions to anarchist uprisings. From social compacts to social justice movements. Stories that push boundaries and identities. That invoke a rebellious voice. That cry out for tolerance, community, and change.
QUILTBAG stories are about diversity in identity. Sometimes that means focusing on finding oneself. But the movement is so much wider. Identity is communal. Identity is global. And this anthology looks to tell those larger stories. Stories about revolution, rebellion, and reshaping the world, all told from QUILTBAG perspectives.
Stories about quiet revolutions and very public ones. Personal revolutions and global movements.
Some revolutions succeed. Others fail. But in the end it’s the striving for change that matters.
Show us that striving.
Fight the power. Start a revolution.
The basics: all spec-fic, 2,000 - 10,000 words, pays $.05/wd. Start a Revolution
