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?
