Signal boosting and sundries
Nov. 24th, 2014 11:43 amFirst of all, thanks to everyone for the many boosts and donations to author Nisi Shawl, who's been dealing with a family medical emergency this week. She says it's been a big help already. If you'd like to do something to help Nisi out longer term, Aqueduct Press is her publisher and books make great holiday gifts, just saying.
In other news, both KFAI Radio and Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater are in dire financial crises and need all the love they can get. Both are Twin Cities institutions that provide amazing multicultural programming and events, including the annual MayDay Parade so beloved of us Twin Citians. I think Give to the Max Day helped but not enough to clear either institution out of issues brought on by changing corporate donations, underwater mortgages, weather delays and the other things they've had to contend with over the last few years. If you support their work, think about gifting donations in someone's honor/memory. Now would be a very good time.
And personal post: still haven't gotten to a TeslaCon post but it was lovely and I'm still kicking myself for not getting pix of the amazing mechaparrot that moved around and chirped when you petted it. :-)
I've turned in two posts for SF Signal, including the latest in my series on LGBT SFF. The later needs a few tweaks (it's so huge I need to cut it into two halves) but it's coming soon. I'm also plugging away on novel revisions and a couple of new stories. Other Me (Emily L. Byrne) continues to have a fab year and has just had her 4th acceptance for the year, thus far. Plus I'll have a reprint, as me, in Best Lesbian Erotica 2015. Hoping to have a good writing week, depending on weather, health, Elderly Parent and related. Send good thoughts, please!
