For me, it usually helps that I read A LOT and have a pretty good memory of what I've read, so if an idea for a story hits me, I'll scan my library and see if anything sparks my memory. If that...

I recently had my flash story "He Loves Me Not" accepted into the Indiana Science Fiction 2011 anthology. I wouldn't really consider the story "sci-fi" per se, but the editor liked it, and I guess...

I saw that one too, but I'm not sure about the paying to get into it.

I definitely edit as I go. When I start my writing for the night, I'll go back to the day before and go over that with a comb. I wish I had the ability to just blaze through the first draft without...

No doubt. This was my first venture into non-supernatural horror, and I was quite pleased with the result. And congrats on the win, by the way!

My dad has always told me: Write what makes you happy, and if other people like it then that's just a plus. I write what's interesting to me and have been lucky enough to sell my first three stories...

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! Makes this great day even better.

Congrats to all the winners! I'm happy to report my story "By The Throat, with a few corrections here and there, replacing some missing words, ect., was just accepted to the Indiana Horror 2011...

I'm going to be flying out to PA in a couple of weeks to hang out with Nikki and some other friends...want me give her a wedgie for everyone? :P

Agreed. Doesn't look mine will make it--*sigh*--but I've got a backup antho I want to send to.

I'll bet we could get E! or VH1 to pick it up.

I was thinking more like a sitcom. Like "Friends", but actually funny and no overacting.

Wow! Thanks everyone! Much appreciated.

I'm honored to be a part of the final group. Thanks to everyone who voted!

The title usually comes first for me, but on occasion, when one refuses to pop up, I'll let my pre-readers suggest one. My story title for this contest was originally just "The Throat" but I wasn't...

$200? Good lord!

I concur. I think my head will explode if it's two weeks!

This may have been answered already, but after next Wednesday when the final round starts, how long will those stories but up to vote for? I'm guessing a week?

So what happens if, say, we make it to the final round and don't win one of the three spots, but we sell it to some other market or antho afterwards? Should we let you know about it? Would you...

You wouldn't happen to have the final back cover description to Ghostology, would you? I'm just curious what it says.

My first accepted short story, "A Promise Not Kept", will be published by Library of Horror Press in an anothology called Ghostoloy: Hauntings from the Library. I wish I could tell you when this...

Nikki is a good friend of mine, and I knew she could write, but damn I was impressed when she posted her story. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on my story, but when I read hers I instantly...

I wish I could listen to music, but I get too easily distracted.

Ok, I'm kinda pissed at myself. I just re-read my story and realized I'm missing several words here and there. I do this crap all the time. :(
