Hello!
Here be Episode 10 of Writing In Suburbia. I talk a lot about how, as writers, we prepare for failure and rejection, but rarely do we prepare for success. You know, when things actually go right. That’s a lot harder to deal with than you think.
I also enjoy a nice cup of warm coffee. Mmmmm, coffee…
Cheers!

Rebelliously Bored
By
Jake Bible
Sentries lined the boulevard, their chrome plating shining brightly in the afternoon sun.
Morgan frowned, rebelliously bored.
“The High Officer should have been here by now?” Morgan said.
“He’s only thirty minutes late,” Loughlin replied. “That’s early for him.”
“We’re forced to attend these processions and the guy doesn’t show?” Morgan grumbled. “I got shit to do, man.”
A few spectators shifted uncomfortably, moving away as Morgan uttered his unsanctioned, traitorous words.
“Chill,” Loughlin hissed. “You want to be repurposed into a sentry?”
Morgan stared at the line of metal guards. “At least I’d be lobotomized, instead of just bored.”

Welcome back to more of Writing In Suburbia!
In this episode I talk about what bugs me about being a pro writer while totally owning up to how lucky I am to be doing what I do. It’s pure privileged whining, that’s for sure.
And I rant about how neglected our public education system is. RANT!
Enjoy!

So Bored
By
Jake Bible
We’ve been on this planet for eighty-three days now.
I am so bored.
Littleton has figured out how to recycle our urine so it is semi-palatable. Okay, it’s not even close to palatable, but at least its cold.
Foster has confirmed that the tuber-like plants are not edible. He died about an hour ago.
I set half our oxygen supply on fire accidentally. So, there’s that.
Have I mentioned I’m bored?
What the hell is Collier doing over there? Oh. Seriously?
Soooooo booooored.
I wonder if I can get Littleton and Collier to fight?
Let’s find out.

Disclaimer: Even cold, urine still tastes like piss.
On this week’s Writing In Suburbia, I go into the differences between writing on spec and writing on contract. I talk a little about the risks and rewards of each and why I have chosen one path over the other. Sort of.
And I sneeze.
Enjoy!
