Two Things that Need to be Three

1) Realignment of the game turned out to be a rousing success.  Skarrah (sword bearing crows), blues singing ugly birds, a witch's oven tree and the words "Hookshot:  Your argument is invalid."  I'm getting better at what's worth a Fight and how to frame them, though I think I'm going to make sure the responsibility defaults to me to frame them in future iterations.  

2) I spent the weekend trying to revise "Blue Vervain Murder Ballad #2: Jack of Diamonds" to try it out on the new Vandermeer steampunk anthology.  Turns out that the story, when I look at it close is not what I thought it was.  It's better than I remembered.  It's also harder to revise.  I'm not sure I can, actually, unless I rewrite it.  Big problem is that, to me, it doesn't feel very steampunk - there is steam in it; it takes place on a gambling riverboat, but, that's pretty much it.  I could slap a gear on it, but that seems wrong.  I guess I will just send it out and see if they think its steam and punk enough.

3) No, I haven't even started on the rewrite of "King of Pine," yet, why do you ask?
