PT: Handling Rejection
Maybe you got a letter. It could be something you received electronically. One way or another, a submission or entry upon which you’ve spent time and energy has been rejected. Now, I’m not talking about receiving constructive criticism. That’s always a good thing to get. Iron sharpening iron and all that. What I’m on about… Continue reading PT: Handling Rejection
Programmatic Mission Statement
My career path has been, to say the least, an odd one. I knew that published fiction was a tough field to enter, and that attempting to make a living from it directly out of university would be difficult, if not impossible. That knowledge, coupled with a challenge issued by a flatmate, pushed me in… Continue reading Programmatic Mission Statement
Jotting in the Margins: On Toilet Paper & Pigeons

Customer Service

If a customer sees a solid, dependable product that delivers on its promises, they’ll use it continually and recommend it to others. Pretty simple concept, right? Say your company manufactures… Continue reading Customer Service
Do Not Adjust Your Net
It could simply be due to the nature of the economy, or perhaps the transition from my previous job to my current one, but I have to admit that over the last month or so I’ve experienced something of a heroic BSOD (that’s “Blue Screen of Death” for those unfamiliar with the acronym). It went… Continue reading Do Not Adjust Your Net
Worth A Thousand Words
But what I do know is to us the world is different As we are to the world but I guess you would know that. – VNV Nation, “Illusion”
