Of flashing, lemurs, and vocalizing
Feb. 24th, 2008 08:11 pm2008 is being nice to my flash fiction so far. I found out today that a silly little story of mine called "Soul Delivery" is going to be an Editor's Pick in the Spring 2008 issue of Flashquake, which will go online March 1. I will be sure to shamelessly plug it some more when the time comes.
On the productivity front, I polished up my lemur-on-a-dirigible story yesterday and got it shipped off to Shimmer's Clockwork Jungle issue. It was fun tackling steampunk for the first time, and I think the story came out with a different feel than my usual stuff, which was part of the fun. That, and lemurs are cool, as are dirigibles. If the story doesn't have anything else going for it, it at least has lemurs on a dirigible.
And in the non-writing world, the chorus I sing with had its annual Solo Artists Showcase concert today. I sang a solo (a Gabriel Faure piece called "Mai") and a duet with As You Know Bob ("No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods). I had to sing first on the program, which is always nerve-racking, but things went well overall, so yay.
