Back from the shore...

babarnett...and ready to get back to that writing thing.
Tomorrow.
I didn't do any writing at the shore, but I did get a lot of reading done, which made for a nice change of pace. Not having to critique any of that reading was even nicer. And while the frequent eating out that came with a week's vacation didn't aid my mission to return my Odyssey-expanded waistline back to its original size, it did at least aid with the relaxation.
Then, after a week without internet access, I came home to 80-something e-mails today and my brain exploded.
Among those e-mails was one announcing that the e-zine Darker Matter, where I recently had a flash piece published, is ceasing publication after its current issue. Bummer. They published some interesting stuff, and the editor Ben Coppin was great to work with.
On a happier note, today in the mail I got my contributor copies of issue 4 of Fictitious Force, which has a story of mine called "To Worship Death" in it. And I get to share the table of contents with Daniel Ausema, a fellow member of an online critique group I belong to, which is cool.
On a final note, if anyone need a humorous take on the world of writing advice, my sister-in-law and family gave me a book called Fondling Your Muse by John Warner that they had originally planned to send to me while I was at Odyssey. I've only had a chance to glance through the book, but what I've seen is pretty damn funny.
