Newsy Bits...

by Liana Posted on August 11, 2013

As promised, I will tell you what happened to my poetry submission: It was rejected. Ah, well. :shrugs: I'm starting to get okay with that. I'm really wanting to publish my own collections, and well... That means keeping a hold of my own work.

I am aware of the visibility that short fiction and poetry credits bring, however, as I've found most of my own favorites that way; but we shall have to see what happens, and I'll keep working.

Speaking of which, updates on the writing front: I'm a writer of many distractions. My stories arrive five at a time—often before the last batch is completed—and I'm continually interrupted by poems. Nevertheless, I have ben actively writing on "Everything is Blood" for lithiumlaughter, which has been like pulling teeth eking out a few words here and there; the Kingdoms and Thorn collection, which will probably be simply called Kingdoms & Thorn; and various snippets as they come; besides poetry in the evenings.

There are several completed 365 Challenge pieces that I haven't taken the time to post yet:

  • "Godling Wild" — Vardin ficlet
  • "A Pairing of Convenience" — X-Men Movieverse fanfic
  • "When the Coffee Doesn't Work, Drink More Tea" — poem
  • "Snow Day" — Kingdoms & Thorn short fiction
  • "Five Reasons I Love You" — Kingdoms & Thorn poem (yes, the infamous one I almost lost; 86 lines at that)
  • "Acceptable Cost" — Kingdoms & Thorn short fiction

It seems that blogging and hectic writing do not always get along. Sorry?

What have you been writing lately?

The Words, The Web, and The Work

by Liana Posted on February 22, 2012
  • Finished a draft of an entire collection of flash, entitled: And Everything Nice. Too bad it's going back to the drawing board, but ah, well! It happens.
  • Got back a personal rejection for a drabble at Every Day Fiction. My perennial, "More! More! Tantalizing, but want more!" kind of note. Sometimes this phenomenon calls out my grumpy Bah humbug! vibe, but hey, it's a good sign. More's a comin'.
  • Figured out how to get synopses on my home page here, and while it does mean I can no longer restrict posts to just Therefore I Am..., I think it's an improvement.
  • Changed my primary twitter account from fandom-based whispersofromy to LianaMir1. I will no longer be updating the old Twitter.
  • Am working on building out a Zazzle store or two. More on that when there's more to tell.
  • Got started on Textbroker.com. I'm actually making some income!
  • Speaking of which, any praying folks out there, the government's holding onto my bucks and things are about to get not pretty financially if something doesn't break.
  • Am only one story short of a little Pearl Wise collection. Feeling out for the prompt: The Rule of Alchemy. It is:

For every portion of light to come into the world, a certain portion of darkness must be overcome.

Inspire any thoughts? Questions? I'd love the help, just saying. :grins:

And that, folks, is all for the moment!
