This is my hundredth post on this blog. I've been going for just about two years now, and a lot has changed.
I finished my first non-fiction book, Navigating the Ebook Jungle. That was last year, meaning it's dated and needs editing, because such is the nature of epublishing right now.
I finished my first novella, Intervention, with my friend Mason Kochanski.
I finished the second draft of my first novel, which is still under revision.
I became Managing Editor and then Editor in Chief of Island Writer magazine.
I helped found Theory Train Magazine, now with its third issue out.
I spoke as part of a panel on getting your book out there for the Victoria Writers' Society.
I started writing fan-fiction which I'm actually showing to the public.
I won the first season Anything Goes Writing League, earning the Faulkner Prism.
I finished Emergency Medical Responder training (still need to get my freaking license, but we're talking accomplishments here, so never mind that).
It's been a pretty good couple of years, all told, and it's only looking up. I have several writing projects in various stages of completion, and have discovered the many and varied joys of outlining first. The publishing industry appears to be stabilizing more in favor of epublishing (now watch as the next couple of months make me look back on the word 'stabilizing' in shame). I'm excited for what the future holds for the writing world.
