Julia’s Writing

As you may be able to tell from the posts on my book review blog, I’m a tad obsessed with zombies. I think it’s because they scare me more than pretty much anything else. They actually give me nightmares.
So, here’s a very short zombie story for ya: Dead People are Supposed to Stay Dead by [...]

I feel better!  Yay and Hallelujah!  I’m gonna get some writing done tonight.  Enjoy the story tomorrow!

After two days of half swine flu, half intense migraines, I am just about ready to go to bed and get another eight hour or so night of sleep.  In fact, the only reason I can type right now (albeit for only a short time) is due to the wonder drug Tylenol, which I have, [...]

A long, long time ago on a blog not very far away, I said I was getting my first short story – After the Bombs published.   The company who was going to publish this fabled story tragically folded and I was left with a story that my publisher and I had worked on for many, [...]

Hey, so I’m trying something new. I’m going to start putting up short stories as Google Docs and will stick a link to the story on this blog. Eventually, when GoDaddy decides to help me out with my Wordpress upgrades, I’ll also provide a PDF for download and a Mobi doc.
So, here’s the first short. [...]

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Enjoy your Kwanzaa or Boxing Day… All in all enjoy the end of 2009.  I hope each year is better than the last.

Okay, I know, I don’t call, I don’t write and I am basically talking to myself at this point. But, in case anyone wants to know what I’ve been up to lately, I’ve taken to writing 100 word stories and submitting them on The Drabblecast – a funny as hell podcast. Check out one of [...]

I just submitted the story I mentioned in my previous post (Getting Gas) to Tales of World War Z.
I’ve also submitted a story I wrote called “Suicide Note” to Horror Garage.
So, we’ll see how all that goes. I recently lost my first reader.   So, we’ll see if I find another good one soon.
I’ve [...]

I just finished a short zombie story called “Getting Gas”.  The first draft is 1,208 words.  I know writing a zombie story is probably cliche at this point, but you have to understand that zombies terrify me, so writing this story was no small task.  Anyway, next I have to do some edits and give [...]

Okay, I finally got some writing done.  I got feedback on Desperation from my first reader (who shall remain nameless…)  and I finished the edits.   It is now an 1,820  word short story.  I am going to submit it to Writers of the Future.  Cross your fingers and wish me luck.  I get so [...]
