Re: Wulf Moon's SUPER SECRETS Workshop & Challenge!
Great one, Wulf. I've been working on my scene openings and endings, so this was good timing.

Re: Common Issues I see on critiques
Yes - formatting refers to how the document itself is organized - not the author’s editing of the document. It’s important to have your indents set correctly instead of using tab for a few reasons - one, it’s too easy to miss a tab. Two, on different devices the tab may populate differently, where a...

I can as always but I've got a few in my queue so it'll probably take me a few days.

Re: Discussion: Q1 Volume 38
They delayed the anthology release as well, so really, there's no way to know. I'm also hoping for earlier results, but who knows.

Re: 2021 Gala and V.37 release delay
I feel so bad for everyone, but especially the winners from last year who have waited so long for their workshop, the winners from this year who will have to wait for the their book, and all the folks at Galaxy Press who have had to scramble and reschedule and juggle this whole time. Stinks.

Re: Discussion: Q2 Volume 38
I am pretty sure I've settled on what I'm sending in. I'm waiting on a crit, and then I'll probably sub just to get it off my mind. You regularly offer for everyone. Can't imagine your short of critters, but I'll take a look if you want one more. Thanks! I might take you up on that for a final read.

If you're interested in an HM that reached publication, check it out! It's a fantasy about Grundar, who wants vengeance, and Epohar, who just wants to survive. Enjoy!

Re: How many words do you write in an hour on average?
Don't stress word count and production rate. We're all different. Some people write fast, some write medium, some write slow. Some produce clean copy, some edit twelve times. There's no one right way - as long as your way gets the story on the page and finished, it's the right way for you.

I do a CTL+F for "that" and a number of other words before submitting. It's quite frequently unnecessary.

Re: Help a writer become a volunteer reader for a Literary Magazine
When I applied to Apex, I had to analyze 3 of their stories as part of the process. I'd guess they were looking for an alignment of perspective and an ability to see the kinds of things the editors are looking for. Some of this is objective - can be learned - but some is subjective and specific to t...

Re: Influenced by vs. too close for comfort
Neil Gaiman says in his master class that imitating the greats is a wonderful way to begin. Most/many writers do that - and why wouldn't we? We start writing because we love to read, and we want to write the kind of thing we have loved reading. Of course we imitate the writers we admire. Plagiarism ...

Re: Pandemic over???
The magazine I slush for, Apex Magazine, has a pandemic story in their forthcoming issue. There have been one or two I've read elsewhere. What makes them stand out is that they're not just pandemic stories. They take something that's weighing on all of us, and twist it or expand on it somehow, explo...
