Reinvention: August 2009
http://jessicarbrown.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 28, 2009. Sometimes I think I take rejection a bit too much in stride, or that I may be harboring some sick, private enjoyment of it, but that’s not really a subject I want to discuss in this post. What I want to talk about is Rain. This isn't something I think would even catch the eye of an agent or editor for even a moment, but that doesn't mean it's something that doesn't deserve exposure. Author of self-published novel Songs from the Other Side of the Wall. These examples and many othe...

Reinvention: July 2010

Sunday, July 25, 2010. For the Love or: Give Me Your Work for Free, Clueless Newbie. What the hell is going on with these “for the love” anthologies? I recently stumbled across submission guidelines for an anthology (and publisher) that shall remain nameless, and I was blown away by the implied arrogance in the listing. Are we going to pay you? No Are we going to give you a contributor’s copy? No It’s flash fiction; what were you expecting, money. Fuck you. No, seriously. Fuck you. That’s beer money.

Monday, July 27, 2009. Home Movies on Flashes in the Dark. My flash fiction story, Home Movies, has been accepted and published by Flashes in the Dark. Links to this post. Flashes in the Dark. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. The Prodigys The Way it Is. Seeing as how I just wrote an essay on this very tune (or, at least, its origin) a few weeks ago, and am also a huge Prodigy fan, I figured this was worth passing along. I’m surprised it took so long for me to find this track on my iPod playlist. Every author, e...

Saturday, August 21, 2010. Oooh, a Revelation. Over the past few months, while working on my novel manuscript and slogging my way (slowly as it may be) through my review copy pile, I've come to a very strange conclusion about myself, writing, and what I enjoy most about being a tiny cog in the publishing machine. I enjoy my position as a reviewer/interviewer far more than I do as an author. It's a feeling just as exhilarating, if not more so, than seeing my own byline in print. Links to this post.

Reinvention: September 2010
http://jessicarbrown.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. My official site, Defiled Curator. Has gone live, and all blog posts from here on out will be contained there. Past content will remain here, with some posts exported to the new page. It's a bit disheveled at the moment, as pages and content are still being shuffled about, but things should smooth over within a few days as I get the hang of Wordpress publishing. Hope to see you there. Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Links to this post. Monday, September 13, 2010.

Reinvention: Some Updates on the Writerly Front
http://jessicarbrown.blogspot.com/2010/04/some-updates-on-writerly-front.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Some Updates on the Writerly Front. I’m still around, still writing here and there and reading when I can. I am woefully behind on other writers’ review copies.

Every Sigh, the End. Recently contacted me with an advance copy of his new novel,. Featured a blurb for his novel. Goes, I’m...

The Journal of Short Form Weird Fiction. First off, thank you for reading and contributing over the past year-and-a-half. Watching submissions come in and the hit-counter rise keeps us going. When the idea for a flash-fiction journal came about in September 2010, we only had hopes the journal would still be publishing almost 2 years later, and no idea Eschatology would be the success it has become. Again,. Those who give will be get something out of it. For $1 — your name will be listed on our new ...

Thursday, October 29, 2009. A Few Rejections and a Big Old Slab of Bacon. I wasn’t expecting much, but when I checked my inbox I found it was from Victorya, editor of Library of Horror’s upcoming Baconology anthology. Yes, it’s a collection of horror stories involving bacon as a main element. It’s a real book, and it’s coming out. And I’m going to be in it. I feel so lucky right now. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. You can read it here. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 27, 2009.
