Julia’s Writing

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: My story “Fantasy Cabin” has been rejected from Writer’s of the Future. *SOB* *Sniff, Sniff*
So… I’m looking around for another market which might like it.  I’m also going to go through it and give it a little revamp to see if there’s anything else that [...]

I’m going to give this story a PG13 rating for violence, disturbing imagery and zombies.  I hope you enjoy Getting Gas by Julia Scott-Douglas.  I promise I’m not a zombie… or am I?

Okay, this is just a quick update since I really should be writing.

Today we have a special post – two stories for the price of one!  (Namely, that price is free, but hey, who’s counting, right?).
In honor of my wonderful father’s birthday, I am posting two stories. The first is called A Walk in the Park and it is by my dad, Grahame Scott-Douglas.  He wrote this [...]

Nobody has ever asked me where I get my ideas, so this is simply mental masturbation. But, I do think about where I get my ideas from, because sometimes they make me smile and sometimes they just freak me out.
Usually I like to say most of my ideas are inspired by authors I admire, which [...]

Last week I had goals.  Did I make them? Haha, hehe, hoho. Er… short answer? No.
Long answer, here’s where I’m at (for anyone who cares to know):
Word count on my YA novel: 12,307.  I wrote a little over a thousand words on it this weekend.  Ouch.
I did, however, complete editing my picture book (which, I [...]
