Any thoughts?  It’s more interesting to worry about than whether I bought enough food for everyone.

“9494 Days” at Abyss & Apex

July 13th, 2006

Nine Thousand Four Hundred Ninety-Four Days is published.

In other news, I twisted my knee today while carrying a case of wine, which I bought for our picnic next weekend. I thought to myself, hey–if this were a century ago, they’d tell me to drink the wine to fix my knee. Also, it is very difficult to climb stairs in an ankle-length flowy skirt without bending your knees.  Glad I wasn’t wearing hoop skirts.  Or a corset.  I suppose if I had a corset, I could have MacGyvered it into a splint of some sort.

“Keybones” published at ChiZine

July 5th, 2006

My story Keybones is published at ChiZine now. I’ve updated my Bibliography to show it, and also made some minor changes to the formatting.

The Write-a-Thon is going great. It’s amazing what focus will do–knowing I have people counting on me to meet my goals really motivates me. Thanks once again to all my sponsors (who are receiving private emails with a lot more details about the writing process).
