the other programming on his youtube channel late 2020 update on december 13 2020 december 13 2020 by griffinwords in words out leave a comment mostly i use this blog to share information with other people who may be interested but another use of something like this is as a sort of diary so i can look back later and see what i did and when last night i hit a milestone finishing the first draft of a novel that i first started writing about two years ago that reminded me it might be a good time to summarize where everything stands with regard to my writing and publishing obviously 2020 has been an absolutely crazy year it s been hard to feel like this is what life is supposed to be like but then we simply have to deal with the circumstances in which we find ourselves right the covid pandemic and the unusually loony and contentious political scene have at times made it difficult to do the things i would normally do i know i m not the only writer who has wondered how one could possibly concentrate on telling stories at a time like this others have had trouble reading for enjoyment while for part of the year i ve felt detached from my usual enjoyment of both reading and writing at other times i ve been more engaged than ever there finally exists some hope that the most difficult aspects of 2020 will soon be alleviated first as for publishing my main published work of this year was armageddon house the novella published by undertow publications in may there was a beautiful limited hardcover edition which quickly sold out and a trade paperback and ebook which remain available also a polish translation appeared recently from wydawnictwo ix the first time my work has been published in translation anywhere to see more about armageddon house you can find all posts on this blog with the armageddon house tag here https griffinwords com tag armageddon house the only other work that i believe will appear in 2020 is my story i wake up and remember myself which will appear in vastarien volume 3 issue 2 a great big double issue of what is always a reliably interesting periodical and which this time contains work from many great writers that issue of vastarien can be preordered here https grimscribepress com issues as for writing in september i finished a long novelette that is out on submission i ll say a lot more about it once it has found a publisher this was the only project i both started and finished in 2020 taking much of the summer so mostly i started and ended the year writing the first draft of the novel i mentioned earlier when i hit a point when i didn t feel like writing new words i went back to the beginning of the novel and started re writing from the beginning through about the 1 3 mark which means that even though i just hit the end of the first draft much of the novel has been polished a bit and the rewrite process won t be quite as long as if i needed to start from the beginning in other projects though it s not exactly what most people think of as writing i did take brief time outs during the year to plot and outline a couple of other novels and i ve arrived at which one of these i ll begin writing next year when i get to a good place with the current edits that s all i have to report for now i ve been reading a lot and have encountered some really great books in the past few months so maybe i ll write something about those soon i wake up and remember myself in vastarien on november 1 2020 by griffinwords in words out leave a comment i m very pleased to announce that my story i wake up and remember myself will be appearing in the next issue of vastarien a literary journal volume 3 issue 2 this should be available in november so anywhere between 1 and 30 days from now i haven t yet seen the full table of

being released by publisher wydawnictwo ix and is now up for order michael griffin armageddon house i don t read polish and i m sure most of the people reading this blog don t either but nonetheless i

september 17 2020 september 18 2020 by griffinwords in internet destinations words in words out leave a comment i m excited to be part of a really cool e book bundle through storybundle which features a bunch of e books from word horde it s a bundle of 5 books that can be purchased for whatever the buyer thinks it s worth and if the payment is 15 or greater you get 10 bonus books including my story collection the human alchemy you can optionally donate 10 of your purchase price to planned parenthood at the time of purchase not paying 10 extra but just saying yes please give 10 of what i paid to charity aside from the fact that i ve had two books published by word horde i really believe every book they ve done has been worth owning in fact i ve already purchased them all if you own some of these already it s still a great way to pick up a lot of what word horde has released for a great price and put some money in the pockets of some great authors an amazing press and if you re so inclined a worthy institution in planned parenthood even if you already own every one of these books as i do you can purchase the bundle as a gift for another reader you suspect might enjoy them there s a lot more information about the bundle and all the individual books and authors here https storybundle com horror my sincere thanks to molly tanzer for curating the bundle molly s super enjoyable
