I have found my writing groove again. After I started working in Marina Del Rey, I was finding it hard to write. So hard, that I didn’t do any writing at all during the whole month of January. The deal was, I used to get up at 6am, start work at 7am, work until 4pm,…
I cannot believe it has been almost three months since I last updated this site. I wish I could say it is because I have been frantically editing EVE320, writing the Great American Novel, or the like. The truth is, I’ve been working at a new job. Commuting almost 80 miles a day–in the Los…
There’s a new trailer out for The Writers of the Future Volume 24. Incredible, as usual! – Brennan Harvey
This trailer for Plague War by Jeff Carlson, is incredible. Check it out! It is also available as “Sci fi thriller PLAGUE WAR by Jeff Carlson” on youtube.com. Jeff is a talented SF author, and first-place winner of the Writers of the Future Contest. I’ve never personally met him, but I saw him at the…
“The Song of Maska,” my entry into the 1st quarter 2008 Writers of the Future Contest, received an honorable mention. Here is the announcement. I actually got to talk to Joni Labaqui this time, and that was a real pleasure. Unfortunately, I have been working on my novel, EVE320, and have not been able to…
I guess my complaining has changed things over at the Writers of the Future Contest. I was trying to find out where “Honorable Mentions” would be mentioned, and they decided to post them on the blog. Here is my announcement. I have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated with WOTF’s treatment of non-winners,…
I put another story into the mail for the Writers of the Future Contest. I must be getting old. I included the SASE envelope, but forgot to put the S on the E. Duh! Anyway, I remedied that before it went out. Wish me luck. – Brennan Harvey
I just got my rejection letter for “Bravo Tunnel” from the Writers of the Future Contest. Apparently, they are no longer calling “Quarter-finalists” by that name. Instead, you receive an “Honorable Mention.” I wonder where I will be mentioned so honorably! I saw on the WOTF Forum that they did this because there was some…
I just finished my first draft of another short story. I’m not sure if I am going to submit it to the Writers of the Future Contest at the end of December, or wait until March. I guess I can send it out to a few friends to see what shape it is in so…
No finalist award for my novelette, “Bravo Tunnel” in the 4th Quarter WOTF contest. The link to the finalists is here. I have not received word on how I’ve placed yet. I can at least hope that I made it to the quarter-finalist level again. Keep watching for more information. – Brennan Harvey
