Short Stories and Flash Fiction. The Devil’s Belt. Life Update and Exciting News! Posted by M.A. Crosbie. Asymp; 2 Comments. So, a fair bit has happened since I last posted. To do a brief summary:. I passed my PhD exam/viva. An election happened, I think? I entered NaNo, but didn’t get very far (sad face). I was asked to join something super exciting (more about that below).

Sharpening My Sword – (Almost) Average
https://almostaverageblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/sharpening-my-sword-a-look-back
Ramblings of the mediocre. August 5, 2015. August 3, 2015. July was a weird month for me. It started off great with the All Write Now Conference. Then it took a turn. Within a day or two of that letter, I received another rejection of a different story I’d submitted. I tried sending the story to another place and had another rejection within a few days. To be fair, the story probably needed rejection. It wasn’t ready. I’m reworking it now to make it stronger. The rejections hurt, they always do. I...

Once the confetti has been swept up, and we’ve all recovered from staying up too late, it seems like the dawning of January only has one thing to declare: New Year’s Resolutions! But let me be honest: I’ve never really cared for New Year’s Resolutions. Maybe it’s my Myers-Briggs type. That’s a hard pass from me. In light ...

Artichokes and Salsa: A New Year. By R K. Brainerd. 2016 ended with me eating artichokes and salsa while watching. A silly animation show for kids that aired in the 90s. It wasn’t really planned — in fact, I’d been thinking I’d be asleep by 10 — but there I was, awake to usher in the new year. As stated in my post from early 2016.

https://questtype.com/2017/01/02/book-looks-why-character-looks-matter
Book Looks: Why Character Looks Matter. January 2, 2017. December 21, 2016. I recently read a Twitter post stating they were changing there main character’s appearance to “average” to make her more “relatable” for female readers. This is the moment I wish for an unlike button. It’s sad, but true, culturally woman and girls are often valued by there looks. If your character is beautiful it. Change not only there confidence, demeanor, and mood, but it also will change how. What I’m getting at is look...
