mrissaI seem to have sold a story: Shine anthology/DayBreak magazine wants to use my short-short, "Unintended Consequences," as promotional. The which makes me very happy, because promoting positive, upbeat SF is very close to my heart. So: yay!
If you're paying a lot of attention (and I'm not sure why you would be), you may have noticed a lot of short-short pieces lately. That's sort of along the lines of "accentuate the positive" at the moment: with the vertigo, writing time was really hard for awhile, and really short lengths were easier for me to do than longer ones. And better to get writing done than not get writing done, I have felt, and so the short-shorts. I'm not doing them exclusively, and it's been getting better now. But still: positivity, dammit. With a big ol' positive ax.

(And congratulations on the short sale! Wait, does that mean you don't make money if the magazine goes up?)
