writing update.

I should update.

I now live in North Carolina.

I'm waiting for Samhain Publishing to re-open submissions so I can send them my novel "Into the Dark."

I won runner's up in a literary agent contest, and just entered a Best First Line Contest on an author's web site. If I win anything I will let you know.

Rejection slip....again.

Got a rejection today from "2 River Review." How many times have I been rejected by them? Five times? Six times? Ten times? I have no idea. At least the Editor said "He enjoyed my poetry." That's a plus, I suppose.

haven't updated in months.

I'm sorry I have not updated in awhile. I mostly use livejournal and myspace now, because all my friends use that too. Let's see, what's new? So far I have gotten accepted in several other different magazines, including "Whispering Spirits," "Dark Animus," and "The Houston Literary Review." I am querying literary agents about my YA horror novel, "Into the Dark." Zebra Books is currently looking at the first three chapters of the manuscript.

In other news, I won third place in a short story contest at "Static Movement." (www.staticmovementonline.com), and I published a book through lulu.com. Go here: www.lulu.com/apryl_fox

that's all for now!

an update, of sorts.

I have not updated my blog since November.
Forgive me, forgive me, for I have been busy-
first there was Thanksgiving, with
turkey and cranberry sauce,
then there was
Christmas, with presents and the cold.
Now it is nearing the end of January, and I am
sitting at my computer,
wondering where
the time went, wondering what I should
do now.
Oh yes. Edit my story for the contest,
work on the sequel to my
novel. These are the things I need
to be doing.
