I gave my notice today
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
and soon, I begin a new adventure. D.C. Cherry blossoms. Winter and autumn and spring. And everything that’s been missing in Florida, even if I will miss many things there. I wrote this: This is what happens over time: you become afraid to make leaps, however small, as if your routine of sleep coffee work [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Structure and Sleeplessness
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Before I post today’s teaser, I want to talk a little bit about the structure of my current manuscript. Seas Run Dry takes place over the course of a single week. This is true for several reasons–for one, I wanted to try to create a densely packed narrative. For another, I wanted to highly the [...]

Why Not Moments
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Amazing video blog from YA Rebel Victoria Schwab on risk taking: I have to say, one of the ways I think that an MFA was not helpful for me was that it made me more afraid to take risks in my poetry. I have a very loud, very vocal internal editor already. In my very [...]

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
In fact, the poems of James Davis and Jessica Hammack (would link, but they’re, like, sitting in my kitchen instead of on the internet) are making me incredibly happy right now. In related news, Jordan’s been playing Europa Universalis III all day today. He named his army The First MFA Army, so that he could [...]
A Retrospective of Self
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
For some reason, I started looking back through one of my older online journals–which was, in many ways, embarrassing, and which I won’t be linking here for numerous reasons–and I was struck by a few things. How mean some of Jordan’s friends were to me (Saying that people were “sucking my cock” every time they [...]

What Message?!
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
50,000 words! If this were November, this would be very significant. As it is, it’s just another signpost, rather than a goalpost. (A few weeks back, JT Glover posted about chapter themes. My chapters generally aren’t themed, but this, the sixteenth, clearly is. It’s about nudity, bodies, being naked emotionally and physically. Which is, I [...]

Two Pieces of Writing that I Dig
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Poetry: Reunions by Brooklyn Copeland. Really, really pretty e-chap, both in terms of writing and design. Fiction: And This Also Has Been One of the Dark Places of the Earth by Anna Feruglio Dal Dan. This is a gorgeously written, slow building story. It reminds me of one of my favorite ever speculative fiction scenes: [...]

I <3 Genre Mags
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Another nice rejection, this one from Goblin Fruit. These genre mags, I swear–they warm my little writer heart. Claire, if you’re reading, you should submit to this one, too. They’re pretty much fantastic, and I think they’d love your stuff.
