• Commitment

  By Russ Linton on January 2, 2014 • ( 13 )

  Time for the stereotypical reflection that comes with every new year. Despite the lack of visible progress with my Fictional Work, 2013 was a good year. I wrote a lot, learned even more, and came to some interesting conclusions. Oh,… Read More ›

• A Very Creepy Christmas

  By Russ Linton on December 19, 2013 • ( 0 )

  

  With less than two weeks to go out in my blaze of short story submitting glory, I’ve been battling holiday demands and trying to carve out writing time. I’ve gotten back a couple more rejections since and have yet to… Read More ›

• Coming to a Toilet Near You…

  By Russ Linton on December 11, 2013 • ( 0 )

  As my last post noted, I may have failed miserably at my goals for the year in an epic, super-heated, transmuted-to-plasma-crash-and-burn sorta way, but I have proven one thing this year: I can write shitty fiction. Errr, well, this guy… Read More ›

• It Ain’t Over

  By Russ Linton on December 5, 2013 • ( 1 )

  

  Last year I made a fairly reasonable (or seemingly so) promise or resolution. Okay, who am I kidding, it was a bit crazy. I wanted to complete my novel (done) and publish a short story every month. PUBLISH not simply… Read More ›

• Find Your Way Home

  By Russ Linton on November 27, 2013 • ( 0 )

  I’m going to try to keep this short. I wanted to write a post lamenting the loss of a holiday, or well, holidays in general. But that’s been done to death with zero results. I have no agenda, no intent… Read More ›

• Write Horribly

  By Russ Linton on November 21, 2013 • ( 8 )

  

  I just completed a short story for a contest over at Zizek Press. Normally I don’t do contests, but frankly, it’s about the same as trying to get a story published – one lucky winner gets paid, the rest walk… Read More ›

• Anachronistic – Part Two

  By Russ Linton on November 14, 2013 • ( 0 )

  Part one can be found in the previous episode or available on my website. And now, part two… The transport was skimming over the ocean now. When @Carlo5* glanced behind him, he frowned at the placid water. Watching the ever-expanding… Read More ›

• Anachronistic – A Sci Fi Short Story

  By Russ Linton on November 7, 2013 • ( 2 )

  

  This story was never shopped for publication and instead ended up right here on my website. More free fiction straight to your face! Let me know in the comments if you enjoy it.

• This Post is for Show

  By Russ Linton on October 31, 2013 • ( 5 )

  A quick update – I submitted the short story I was working on for Crossed Genres magazine. In all, I re-drafted it twice and ultimately trashed it and started completely over for a third and final version which looks nothing… Read More ›

• Three, the Magic Number

  By Russ Linton on October 24, 2013 • ( 4 )

  Third time’s a charm. That’s what everyone says. It probably has its roots in a pagan, numerological thing which means it’s both bullshit and also true on some odd, universal level. Sometimes, I make similar, seemingly profound statements and then… Read More ›
