Publishing

Master List of Publications. Top Story - August 2023.
I’ve been submitting fiction to publications for about two years now and it has been a process that just keeps developing. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure where to start. I found a small list of 10 or so publications online and started with those. Over time I have found more lists in various places that people have compiled. Usually lists of 10-20 publications. I’ll find an odd one here or there… I’ve gotten recommendations from other writers on Vocal… on Medium… and I have now compiled my own list of 85 publications that I have submitted to or plan to submit to. (Thank you to ALL who have provided me with places!)

In this article, we are going to explore how to use Xamarin to build cross-platform mobile applications and share the code without compromising other aspects of our project. Xamarin works by sharing code and performing memory allocation. We’re going to dive deep into the Android and iOS platforms, but you can use the same approach for any other platform as well.

For reasons unknown, I’ve decided to continue alienating my readers by delivering something that is neither fiction nor poetry but, at the end of the day, is me riling myself up.

What Am I Doing?. Top Story - July 2023.
It’s a question I find myself asking more and more these days. But not so much in terms of my career, my relationships, or my future. No, this query is directed at something far more important: my writing career.
