- My answer to people who ask me how to get a story published is this…”Write something good.”
If you’re here right now, you might buy my novel, or you might be looking for answers to your own writing questions, you may or may not give a whiff ‘about’ me.
Write something good.
If that works…try to find someone who will read the first page.
Good luck.
Keep trying.
Continue writing something good.
Keep trying.
Someone will read that first page.
That’s when things get interesting.
That’s what I try to be ‘about’.
I’m a West Virginia boy, born and bred, Appalachian until the day I die. We’re a minority, I hear…Appalachians are, that is. I was educated at small, rural county schools. I can read and write, add and subtract with the best of them. I spent my latter teenage days at Marshall University, where I eventually graduated. I hopped around Lexington, Kentucky as an apprentice horse trainer for a year before coming home to my mountains. I’ve been here ever since. I direct television in Huntington, pretty good gig. I still train and show horses from my family’s farm. We’ve won championships, but we’re not in to selling horses. We either buy them, or they’re born on the property. They live out their lives there. I’m an animal lover. I take in strays. Been a vegetarian for 23 years. Haven’t missed the flesh one bit.
I’m a writer. I try to be a good one. Let me know if I try hard enough.

Cemetery Dance Publications has announced a brand new signed special edition of The Exorcist and Legion by William Peter Blatty.Demon Days – Book Review
Richard Finney and D. L. Snell have traced the outlines of a possibly transfixing tale; but don't manage to give enough form, color, or texture to the narrative. It seems unfinished.King’s Next Novel
Here's an opportunity to tell Stephen King what to write next. According to his website, he's waffling between two possible novels, Doctor Sleep and a Mid-World book.Storytellers Unplugged
On Getting Started
Being new to Storytellers this month, I’ve had “beginnings” on the brain. It was for this reason that I’d decided to take a look at some of the things that have motivated successful authors over the years. I’ve always been fascinated by that tiny seed that grows up to be a towering [...]
The Anatomy and Creation of a Story Pt. 2
This is an ongoing discussion of the process I use to write short stories…not that there is a set process, as it’s different each time. I started this in “Part One” back on my personal blog, and wanted to continue here to mix up the audience as much as possible.
In part one, I discussed the [...]

“This soap box is not big enough for the both of us.”
I asked readers for topics they would like to see me address in this blog, and I got a slew of great responses, something that will keep me in columns for a few months to come.
Here’s the question that got top billing for [...]
Providence, 1986
Providence, 1986 Wayne Allen Sallee 28 November 2009
I have a road trip, of sorts, ahead of me in a few hours. A zig-zag across the transit system of Chicago. I’m heading up north, but first I have to take the 55th Street bus to an artist friend’s place and drop off a few autographed books. There is [...]
The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing
Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]

It's going to be a big change. I didn't even like any veggies but corn and carrots until recently. Then I started drinking Green Vibrance and it's really given me a taste for them.
My daughter has just gotten into competition, she's in the "hunter" class. She's been taking riding lessons since she was big enough to hold herself up in the saddle.
I'm creeping toward vegetarianism. I have Celiac, though, so I have to avoid gluten. I'm trying to phase out any processed food in my diet, which is really hard to do.
Anyway, best of luck with your new novel. :)
I hate those "fav" questions because I have such ecclectic taste and a short attention span. *grin*
