I’m back with Episode 2 of the Garbage Notes Podcast!
In this episode I talk about getting accepted to the Viable Paradise Writer’s Workshop. I discuss the application process, my writing sample, and I even read my entire personal biographical statement that got me in.
Then I give the rundown of my last few weeks of writing, editing, and publishing. Who got boosted in Scuzzbucket, what comments stood out in Garbage Notes, etc.
I delve into a deeper discussion on why a lot of my stuff gets rejected—some of the issues I am working on in my own writing. What I think is good feedback and not so good feedback. And I actually discuss a recent personal rejection note that I received for one of my short stories as an example of a good rejection.
In the entertainment section I talk about my taste in sci-fi and how I love when some movies and books don’t seem like genre fiction on the surface, but then turn out to be secretly science fiction.
And, as always, thank you for the support!
You can still get 20% off a yearly membership until July 30th.
