As the new year begins, my story "
Blue Lace Agate" is live at
Lightspeed. (Author interview
here.) "Blue Lace Agate" is chronologically the first story about Mick and Jamie, the protagonists of "
A Night in Electric Squidland" and "Impostors" (in
Somewhere Beneath Those Waves), and I'm delighted that it has finally found a home.
ETA: Also, Mateusz Skutnik has a charming little
New Year's game which I commend to your attention.
Although I don't usually write year-in-review posts, after the year I've just had, I really do feel the need to sit down and take stock (4,691 irradiated haggis, check).
So.
( 2011 in bullet points )As 2012 begins, I'm going to full-time as a database thrall, and we'll see what effect that has on my health and my writing.
Goals for 2012 (note to self: do not mistype as "gaols," please) include:
- finish The Goblin Emperor
- write An Apprentice to Elves [with
matociquala]
- finish Thirdhop Scarp and write this backlog of Booth stories
- write a bunch of other short stories
- maybe start on this novel that is twining seductively around my ankles
- blog more
- BE HEALTHY
Happy New Year! May 2012 be a better year for all of us than 2011!
