Current project: "Child of Midnight"
Description: "At midnight, every stone was a poet." - Mia Nutick.
Reason for stopping: Some pieces rattled around and fell together in a way that will necessitate immediate revision, plus there was dinner.

This isn't the story I'm supposed to be working on! I'm supposed to be working on "Burier" and then I'm supposed to be researching for another story that's due very soon. However, this one leapt on me last night and I could not say no.

I also have a new Word Cloud to share with you, this one based on "When Death Dances," a Dia de los Muertos fairy tale I currently have sent out:

nineweaving's journal, I have been playing with various texts. Below, you can see one representing my short story, "The Trees of Trellan":

Sadly, this short story of piratical and alien lovers has been rejected once again. I have a couple more venues in mind before it goes down for a rewrite, however.

In much better news, I have had a poem accepted for publication in the September issue of Scheherezade's Bequest on Cabinet des Fées! The poem is entitled "My Small Army of Souls" and both the title and text of the poem were inspired by

elisem's lovely bracelet, "My Small Army of Souls."

I'll also be reviewing Oscar Wilde's fairy tales for that edition, so look forward to it.

Finally, I've been promoted to the status of Master Reviewer at Green Man Review and also started writing blurbs (only for the book reviews) for their biweekly issues.

Mostly good news there, I should say!
