Comments: A snippet of my short story tentatively entitled "Colorless." Hope you enjoy! - JRF *** Even through her young eyes, the world was colorless. She stepped over the threshold of her home’s front door, staring in awe at her neighborhood street, her fingers trailing along the shiny top of the brass door handle before falling limply to her side. The midnight sky was black as pitch, choked by columns of thick gray smoke that made her eyes sting. She blinked back the tears, ... View Post

What I Learned about Prologues… WD Tutorial lessons!
As some of you know, I subscribed to the Writer's Digest Tutorials a few days ago.

Project List for March 2013
To help keep my thoughts in order these next few weeks, as we fast approach Camp NaNo (at reckless speed, really!), I decided to go ahead and track what I plan to get done for the rest of the month here, and cross items off the list as I go along.

Submission #1 – Living the Vision
Well... it's done. Today, I submitted my first short story, "In Morte, Omnia" to my first professional market, Clarksworld Magazine. This process took weeks, I don't even know how long anymore, I'll have to look it up in my Writing Journal! Five drafts total, four wonderful betas, 3200 words (rounded up to the nearest hundred). Every spare moment of many days spent researching possible literary markets, only to then remember the SFWA and find a whole new list of membership-qualifying ... View Post
