adventures in obscurity
Want to see YOUR Self-Published book on a dedicated LIBRARY shelf? As some of you may know, when I’m not writing and being generally awesome (shhh), I’m a library worker. As a part of my library’s new summer programs, we’re trying to establish a section solely for Street Literature, which basically means self-published and unvetted …
Lo, it is I... and boy, has it been a while. :: stretches and leans back in a Victorian chair with a pipe and a snifter of brandy and straightens a silk red robe with black lapels:: Holy jalapeños have things been crazy in Lithium Fiction land, so sit back with me, my loyal LiFi …
When I first started this blog a matter of months ago, it was more of a promotional gimmick to try and raise my reader numbers and marketing network and was, rightfully so, lacking in passion. The more time and energy I invested into the work however, the more I began to discover the rich and …
Heraclitus said that no man ever steps in the same river twice. Everything changes. Lithium Fiction began life as an idea for a weekly blog on freelance writing.

I know last week I told you I’d be finishing up my accidentally two part series, (professional) Habits of an (amateur) Writer for today’s post, but... I... I’m not gonna. Not today, anyway.

This started out being a single post, but half way through it I realized I’m a pompous windbag, so it became a two part series. Hurray! Shut up. Everyone likes a list, right? I know I do, especially when it says what it is about right in the title. What I don’t much care for …
