it's aliiiiiiiiive!

I've spent the last year or so working with the wonderful staff at Oddville to produce a literary e-zine from scratch. We advertised, we accepted submissions, we rejected them too, and we finally took everything we liked and turned it into a finished product. I think it's a really awesome process.

So awesome, in fact, that I recently decided to start my own. Call it a power-trip if you will, but I wanted to be in control of what stories were published. At Oddville, because everyone has their own likes and dislikes, we've rejected stories I've adored and we've accepted stories I've thought were atrocious. That's just the way it goes, and I'm sure each and every staff member at Oddville can say the same thing.

Now, having stumbled through HTML/CSS, I bought a domain, bought hosting, and created my very own (and very first website). Better than that, Duotrope finally accepted my listing, and I'm not getting submissions. (In fact, I just got another one sometime in the middle of typing the previous paragraph!)

So, ladies and gents, feast your eyes on my cool, new literary magazine Loose Yarns!
