A few fun things

One: I have a new poem out at Uncanny Magazine. It is called “fowlskin.”

Some of you may remember last August, when I wrote about attending the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic’s free workshop called Everyday Magic Challenge. (I wrote about it here.)

Well, during that week, we met three times, one hour each, and Dr. Warman and Dr. Cleto would talk so lovingly and dazzlingly about fairy tales, feminism, power, beauty, poetry, fashion, and give us little challenges to sparkle up our days. One of those challenges led to the first draft of “fowlskin.”

Two: Serendipitously, the Good Doctoras of Carterhaugh (as I like to refer to them in my head) are hosting ANOTHER Everyday Magic Challenge NEXT WEEK.

And I just thought, if you needed some additional charm in your life, sign up and be NOURISHED. One week. Three challenges. It’s free, m’dudes.

Three: Oh, well, I have a secret, but it’s not my secret to tell. A friend of mine is getting such radically great news in their career life that it makes my stomach turn MORE CARTWHEELS every day! So that’s improving my mood all week. MAY ALL YOUR FRIENDS KNOW SUCH SUCCESS AFTER SUCH HARD WORK! AND YOU TOO!

Four: I’ve got to get back to novel writing. This was just my one-hour break. Keep wishing me luck, love, and ingenuity. And most of all… SPEED. Where’s my HASTEN SPELL when I need one???
