The Submission Process

I write a bit of everything, I try to get some of it published. Most times, I get rejected. I submit again (to other places). Eventually, I get published. In the meantime, I complain about the hazards of real life. It's a process, really.

About Me

About Me
Current City: Poland, Maine
Last City: Gilead, Maine

"Motivational speaker", aspiring author of YA and memoirs, retail associate, and snowboarding instructor. When I'm not writing, I can be found trying to chew off my left arm to avoid cleaning, sleeping, or snowboarding. I'm perpetually broke, living in shady situations, and I love Starbucks and energy drinks (though I'm super caffeine intolerant). I'm also prone to posting pictures of my dog, Baxter. I like the environment; my profile picture is with a sign that says "Save the Whales", and my favorite shirt says, "Boycott BP".
In real life, I curse like a sailor and my favorite word is the f-bomb, but on here I try to keep it minimal...for the kids, you know?
