Issues When I Edit Online

Well just an update for you, I recently joined reddit and stumbleupon which have increased traffic.  So I thought I would add the social bookmarking gadget that blogger has. This is where it is unfortunate.  I can't seem to get it to show up when I view the blog.  Do me a favor if you all would.  If it shows up for you bookmark it to twitter, reddit, stumbleupon, de.li.cious, etc.  If not leave a comment down below. Thanks again. 

On to other news. The editor on the previous submission is willing to let me change some parts to keep it in the current issue, but also said that she would use it in an upcoming issue unedited.  After stewing and milling for a couple of days, I think the part is too central to what is happening to change.  Hopefully she will use it a couple of months from now.  Thanks again for reading.

Still Tryin'

The good news is I got my submission in, in time. Bad news is they're not sure they wanna use it. Which really is not that bad for someone like me. The other bad news, which I know I'm gonna get flack, is they said it was a lot like Clockwork Orange, which I have not seen. So there. Hopefully with some minor editing or if they have a change of heart, they will go forward with publishing it. Now on to the next deadline. This one is not so bizarro as experimental. I found it on Duotrope. I'm also in the process of looking to submit to another journal, and am in the process of familiarizing myself with previous published works.

Success, of sorts

Well, trusty followers, I made another deadline. Between that and the way reddit has blown up today, I may be on my way. I am still trying to figure out the format of this blog, as to keep it relevant and updated.  So that no one is left behind. Remember that all official news I will post on http://turncoatracket.blogspot.com  and all micro fiction can be found @warrendanbar

Limbering up

There was some unexpected work, plus you don't really get time to write while on spring break with kids.  That said I have had a few ideas and beginnings.  The bane of this writer's career is having something cool, getting going with it, and then WHAM, nothing.   I have said in the past that this was primarily going to be a journal of sorts, with major announcements being handled on my other site warrendanbar.webs.com .  The other reasoning for not posting stories, per se, here was not to conflict with any other internet publishings.  I think that I will try to limit micro fiction to my twitter account @warrendanbar and maybe put more story thoughts or short flash here.  Meaning longer flash and short stories will be what is published more around the interwebs.  So expect a little more unresolved bits of work.  Feel free, as always, to comment on the posts that arouse any thoughts.
