Some News Concerning Writing

Alright, so first thing's first. I've completed a story which will be submitted for publication in mid-Feb. with the Baylor University writer's annual, The Phoenix. It is up currently on my DA for all to enjoy, but I will provide a direct link for those of you who do not wish to go the long way. LINK This story has been in the works for only about four or five months, but it is in it's more-or-less completed form. I would love any advice or critiques I can get as I can always grow as a writer.

In somewhat related, or maybe I just wish it was, news the man who I believe is the single greatest contributor to the art of writing since the invention of the craft, Neil Gaiman, has officially received the Newberry Medal for his newest children's story, The Graveyard Book. You can hear everything he had to say on the matter as well as learn all about his work here.

My own writing aspirations are advancing steadily and if anyone has any suggestions for publication avenues I would greatly appreciate them. I currently have the submission guidelines on my desk for Realms of Fantasy, Weird Tales, and Science Fiction & Fantasy. All three are SFF magazines and all three I am familiar with, though Realms of Fantasy most of all.

Well, that should just about wrap up what I'll be posting for now, but I'll attempt to have more up as it is completed and as always, keep writing.
