An actual writing related post
Jun. 13th, 2009 09:48 pmI did a guest blog on the topic of "Setting the Scene" out at Oh, Get a Grip!
I suspected it wasn't quite what my hostess anticipated and think that I will eventually be writing a blog posting on what happens when other people like some of your earlier work better than you do now. But then, I nearly always like my newest stuff best - it feels more polished and finished to me. So perhaps a subsequent blog posting on "When Writers May or May Not be Kidding Themselves" as well.
So Fey: Queer Fairy Stories, edited by Steve Berman, has been re-released by Lethe Press. It includes stories by Melissa Scott, Holly Black, Christopher Barzak, Craig Gidney, Lynne Jamneck and me, among others. I'm linking to the ebook edition because it's the only non-Amazon page I can find, but I believe that it is also available in print, seeing as I now have contributor copies. It is an excellent read, quite apart from my participation in it, and I recommend it heartily.
Girl Crazy: Coming Out Erotica edited by the fabulously talented Sacchi Green is out and about from Cleis Press. It includes my story "Wine-dark Kisses" as well as tales by D.L. King and Cheyenne Blue among others. it has already been reviewed out at Erotica Revealed and Ashley Lister has said nice things (except for the hating the title part).
And that's it for the moment. I'm dusting myself off, working around the house, getting my class stuff organized for teaching next month's 2, count 'em, 2 writing workshops at The Loft and the Golden Crown Literary Society Conference, and beginning to get back to writing. I'll post my CONvergence schedule in the next week or so as well.
