Nikki, don't censor yourself. Sometimes forcing something else to happen when characters want to do their own thing is the way to really kill the story. I'd suggest just finish out the second episode, see where it goes, and then re-think it if you...

Hey Shan, Not a dummy question at all. To be honest I had issues with this when I first started. I thought I had to do my edits once my chapter was done so that it was good to go before I moved on. But then I would just go back and change things,...

You know, I really wouldn't mind creating something that had mass-market appeal, though. Is that wrong? There's no rule against it, and it certainly would be kind of fun to see things I've created on the big screen or sitting as inanimate figures ...

Apex Magazine seeks Poetry Editor

We recently published a poem titled “After, Thoughts–A Pantoum” by John C. Hay that drew some praise that landed in my inbox from fans.

Granted, these emails were from fans of poetry who were happy to see another genre publication printing poetry (but it is a great poem!). Their encouragement has inspired me to start publishing a poem or two per issue of Apex Magazine.
