This time in Dan Dillard's blog, feel free to follow him while you're at it :)

Also another rejection, I think editors really should not be allowed to do that on weekends, not cool!
This is a blog about the ramblings of an anxiety ridden mind. I may also bore people with my journey to become a writer.

Saturday you mock me...
Well, got a rejection I was expecting, but two acceptances into charity anthologies, so all in all pretty happy.
I also came up with an idea for the Wolfology anthology, it is highly humor based so I am hoping it goes over well, new concept that will either be applauded or a cane shall remove me from the stage so to speak.
I am still waiting to hear back on several submissions, and edits on the book, and am working away at a good pace on the sequel. 22,000 words in and took a break to write a few short stories, and read submissions for the anxiety anthology.
Also only 3 more slots to fill then I can announce with great fanfare sort of, my new anthology I created and complied and will be co-editing with Adrian Chamberlin...though he will do most of the heavy lifting editing wise, as he is much better than me at editing horror stories.
I am very excited about this anthology and cannot wait to talk about it and share the cover, as nothing like it has been done before, and all the contributors have been wonderful as well as my publisher friend who is letting us publish through her company.
All in all, many good things going on, keeping me busy writing and talking to people
That is why Saturday mocks me :(
Though that is okay..I might swim later :)
Then watch some old 70's bionic woman, I watched an episode last night and wow..Lee Majors sings in it..fun stuff..
Here's hoping those slots get filled and news can be shared soon!

Update - Mood - bad..the humidity is sucking my will to live
Well, I have not updated this in a good while, though for good reasons, been busy and many of the anthologies I have been waiting on are taking a long time to decide. I was accepted into two charity anthologies, rejected from the Code Z one, accepted for another one with more to come later, and still waiting on about 4 more in about the next month or so.
After that the rest of the deadlines are end of August, September, and October..ergo those updates will come much later.
I am still looking at submissions for my anxiety anthology, must say I have gotten some amazing ones so far and am looking forward to see what else comes my way. I am also putting together another anthology, will see how well that goes. It is going to take some research, but at least that is something I am good at, and it is anthropological research, something I am even better at.
I have hit the 13,000 mark with my sequel and hope to have a rough draft of it done by the end of October, beginning of November. With writing you have to strike while the iron is hot as they say, and when my book is released, I hope it gets positive reviews and my sequel will be accepted with no issues.
After that I am working on another novel, perhaps novella I have not decided. Depends how long I can get the story, minimum needs to be 50,000 but I may try and get it up to more. I like writing zombie stories that are actually other things in disguise; quite fun and I hope people like the change of pace.
I also have two anthologies that I would really like to submit to, but an not sure if I will come up with the right idea, or the time. Networking, meeting people, talking with them to help out Hidden Thoughts Press takes quite a bit of time.
I look forward to the weekends where I can just write, though I still have things to do. Perhaps in the colder months I will be able to write more, can’t do a whole lot when all it does is snow outside.
So that is the update for now, bummed about the rejection..but c’est la vie.
Hopefully the next one will be an acceptance. As soon as I know more so will this blog.

Dusting off the Blog
Well, I have in interview on another blog and just in case that one person who reads it and is interested in what this blog may offer I thought I should come in and clean it up.
My anthology is doing well, at least I have gotten a lot of messages from people who want to buy it when it is available, or contribute to it.
I am working on 2 other book ideas, and 2 story ideas, and another story idea when the first two are done.
Other than promoting Hidden Thoughts Press, and writing I have no life at the moment..
I am excited about many anthologies that are coming out soon, most notable Attack of the 50ft Book..going to be a great one!
Come back when things are more interesting in a week or two when I get some rejections I can complain about :)

Anxiety Disorders Anthology
I am proud to share the cover of the anthology I will be editing for Hidden Thoughts Press..
It will be full of stories from people who have suffered from or continue to deal with anxiety of any kind in their lives.
I am also working on anthologies, two other books, doing media relations and PR work..
Seems like my work is never done..:)
