If a giant metal airship / aerial base finally makes it into one of my published stories, it’s because of TaleSpin and not Fallout.

This is absolutely delightful! Part of my soul feels rested somehow. Amazing work!

one is supposed to be
a lady.
She’s sitting at a table
outside of a one-room teahouse
two streets away from the British Museum."

Go on, take a peek inside "Mary's Bag." Today's poem by Marscia Pichette is a glimpse at the tools of a wonder worker - you probably know a few yourself.
Mary’s Bag - Small Wonders
The seams are whip-stitched, faded brocade / dappled with poppies, mullion, and sycamore bark. / Its leather handles remember her grip—firm, / decisive.

Wrote a little in TLR, just a paragraph or two. Not much, but my writing streak grows to three days.
I also started work on turning a trunked novelette into a full novella, a project I might fritter at in between bigger projects.

I'm reading poetry subs at Strange Horizons this month. You can submit up to 6 speculative poems in a single file or separate files. I recommend separate files, because we allow simultaneous submissions and it's easier to withdraw individual poems. Guidelines: strangehorizons.com/submit/poetr...

I feel this. I come up with opening lines before I come up with plots, so I have all these cool openings that peter out and go nowhere.

Second day in a row of getting some words down. Working on two chapters, one in 1993, one in the present, feeling my way toward the double climax. (Really should have picked a more straightforward structure for my first published novel. Oh well.)
Current wordcount is 59658.
