1) The grad school applications are off! Still some pesky supporting documentation to take care of, but mostly I get to sit back now and play the waiting game, for which submitting fiction has very much prepared me.

2) You can check out the cover for the soon-to-be-released Black Static #20, which will have my story "The Wounded House" in it.  Squee!  I drew on my own life for this story more than for any other I've written, so I'm going to have a blog post about the story's background sometime in the near future. Because, you know, the world needs more self-indulgent writerly types.

3) My story "The Perfect Instrument" (also known as the Amazing Expanding and Contracting Story) was accepted for an anthology called Rockets, Swords and Rainbows: New Tales of Fantasy, so yay!

On a slight tangent from that, someone had mentioned wanting to see more in the same setting as my story "Mortis Persona."  While "The Perfect Instrument" isn't in the same setting, the world I placed it in is based on ancient Rome, so it likely has a similar vibe to it setting-wise, just without the magic ("The Perfect Instrument" is a secondary world setting sans magic; "Mortis Persona" is an alternate ancient Rome with magic).  And "The Perfect Instrument" has a musician protagonist while "Mortis Persona" has an actor, so they've both got the artsy protag thing going for them too.
