Movies & TV: I’m slowly getting back into regular movie outings. His science fiction is mind-blowing – try Use of Weapons. I also read Raw Spirit, Iain Banks’ nonfiction book about whisky and Scotland, part memoir and part travelogue. Cherryh’s Downbelow Station, a true space-opera classic. Something in my brain really did get unstuck. (In the past, 6-7 a year has been my average.) (Stats: three of those eight have sold, two more are on submission, and the newest three still need revised before they go out.) I feel like I hit the ground running after New Zealand. Three more in the last couple of weeks – that makes eight since December, which is a lot for me. Work right now involves prepping to fulfill the Kickstarter rewards (that’s my summer sorted, I guess!), and also – more short stories. It’s a thing that I think separates aspiring writers from published writers, and good writers from great. This month’s Lesson: The first of what will probably be a couple of posts on voice, which is one of those evergreen topics. My Kickstarter project, WATER FIRE FAE, is less than a week from the finish line, and I’m really happy with how it’s going! We’re almost 300% funded and reached the second stretch goal, which means the collection will now include notes about the background of each story! You only have a few more days to get on board!
