Scribe Notes

FictionScribe: Hey JM.

JM: Hiya. What’s up?

FS: Well, you’ve been slacking a bit on posting lately. I’m not really feeling the love.

JM: If it makes you feel better, I’ve been slacking on all my blogs.

FS: Yeah… not really.

JM: Hm. Well, I’m back and writing now after taking a bit of a sanity break, so I’ll make it up to you.

FS: Okay. You’d better.

Yes, my sites and I have conversations like that with each other. Really.

Anyway, yes, I have been taking a bit of a break here and there from my sites, but I am back and ready to write once more. Especially after a particularly inspiring night at the pub. (Not what you’re thinking; I’m not even allowed to drink coffee until next month, let alone alcohol.) Today I’m back with a few announcements about things here and there. The usual level of fangirl screaming excitement.

First off, I am being published. No, not my novel. That’s still sitting in printed off form in my bad feeling bruised and battered after an especially vicious editing session. No, I’m talking about poetry.

The Oddville Press has decided I can write a decent poem and will be publishing my poem – Coffee Shop Poet Wannabe – in their first edition online magazine. Sign up at their site now if you’d like the ezine delivered straight to your email index and don’t forget to submit some of your work as well while you’re there.

More good news of a publishing nature: My dear friend Lyndsey D’Arcangelo – former writer of Lez Keep it Real – is getting her novel published. The Trouble with Emily Dickinson will be released autumn 2008 and is now available for pre-order at the Alpha World Press site for a discounted price.

Congratulations Lyndsey!

Keep checking in at the Chicken Soup for the Soul site. There are quite a few deadlines that are coming up at the end of this month (if they haven’t gone early) so make sure you get your true stories in soon.

Don’t forget to submit your entries to the Scribes Blog Carnival using the submissions page. The next edition will be going up September 1st.

Also don’t forget that I am looking for guest posters to write for me on all my sites while I’m away at the Conflux writer’s conference at the beginning of October. Email me if you have any questions or post ideas.

That’s all for now. This got a bit longer than I had originally intended. I hope you all have/had an excellent start of the week.

    Another publishing opportunity…

    Open call for submissions:

    We are looking for well-written, provocative, offensive, gritty, funny stories about the life of a modern fat chick. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry all accepted. We are open to stories from skinny girls with fat chick mentalities or men who love fat chicks or hell, just about anything else related to the theme. Hints: Shorter is better, but we will consider longer submissions also and please NO sentimental, sweet, sappy pieces. We’re looking for pieces that push the edges of propriety – pieces that rough the writer and hopefully the reader up a little. Please send all queries and submissions to fatchicklove@yahoo.com.
