Newsy Bits...

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?
