I like to write. I do it a lot. I like the submission process as well, or, I’m used to it and the steps are almost zen-like at this point. Submitting is also an excuse to read more, because sending your writing to a magazine without knowing what they publish is a waste of time for everyone. Here are some old/random links to my writing online in no particular order (except if multiple pieces appeared in the same issue, then I kept them together), Someday I’ll update this page, but for now here’s something.
