3rd & Oak: Stories
I'm thrilled to present the 2nd anthology from the talented writers in Novelitics Writers Collective. What a dream to edit these marvelous stories, and what a joy to share them with you.
How many stories can a single urban edifice inspire? The writers of the Novelitics Collective found quite a few at the corner of 3rd & Oak.
As it turns out, 3rd & Oak is the place to find hidden compartments from which to view the neighbors, demons who create graffiti and demons who spew grief, portal-traveling witches, stolen bags of gold, lost sisters, and maybe even the man who is trying to kill you.
It’s the place to remember the love of your life, the girl who got away, the home you’ve always dreamed of, and Barry the Abominable Bozeman . . . but, for heaven’s sake, no union plumbers.
Check out the array of stories one address can inspire in this delightful short story anthology.

Novels are rough. Tough. They require diligence and creativity and abandon and discipline. They like to disobey the best of planning, fly off into their own spheres. If you're in the midsts of writing one, you know what I mean.
The best advice I can give is to hang on for the ride and finish the work. Without the words, there's nothing really to shape and edit.
But it's easy to give up. The premise doesn't sit right. The middle is a morass and swamp. The end is nowhere in sight. The character's goals are muddy, too small, too big. The day job is overwhelming. You think of packing it in. You're alone with the writing, and no one cares if you finish or not.
But still the novel is there waiting. You think of it. All. The. Time. You know the story matters. And you're the one to tell it.
That's where Novelitics comes in.
