Mostly...

I am in the process of moving over here.

What I do with this space is still up in the air (because I could mirror things over here, but I'm not sure why since almost everyone who reads/read here is on LJ already).

If you have some deep abiding antipathy to LiveJournal, now would be the time to speak :-)

Miscellany

--Why do I insist on writing about things I don't know anything about? Like South Dakota and Afghanistan and burning down tool sheds. On the other hand, I now know how to *actually* win a fist fight. So, that's good.

--It was above freezing today! From noon until, like...now. Awesome!

--Blue and Billie and I went tracking. Blue is an awesome little tracking maniac. I believe it's because of the lime-green harness. If I ever remember to take my camera, I will post pictures.

--I want to get at least two stories in the mail this month. Apparently no one will buy them if you don't actually finish them and send them out.

--Books I've read recently or am currently reading:

  • The Horizontal World by Debra Marquart
  • The Lion's Grave by Jon Lee Anderson
  • Buffalo for the Broken Heart by Dan O'Brien
  • This is a Bust by Ed Lin

--As always I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting...

As you can see, my life is a constant whirlwind

How to Hide Your Heart

My story, How to Hide Your Heart, is up at Strange Horizons:

He barely notices Beth in the bar, thin as a stick, clothes—oh, Jesus, her clothes—too-small cotton blouse with faded calico flowers, brown knit pants that slop over thick-soled black shoes. She has straw-colored hair pulled back flat with metal barrettes, a faded plain face that doesn't show well alongside the other girls she's with.

[I had other updates of interest I was going to post with this, but now have forgotten what they were. So...hmmm, possibly they weren't all that interesting.]
