Baddabing! Another publication!

Aaaand feeling rather shiny to announce that another micro fic was just published by Short, Fast and Deadly.

It's called A Chicken Walks into a Bar.

I love SF&D - it's a little weekly dose of crazy.

First Publication of 2011

My micro "Innocuous" is now up at Metazen.

(Doin' the happy dance, doin' the happy dance...)

It was written in 60 seconds as a response to the One Word prompt, Vase.

Woop di woop! Had an acceptance from Short, Fast & Deadly the other day - will be up as part of issue 61 soonish. It's all gravy.

Also edited TWO HUNDRED pages on Sunday. Ok, it was mainly proofing, with a lot of notes. I'm going to need another few sweeps before it's ready to shop. But so far, only one major plot doozy that I need to fix. I just need distance - objectivity - space from the whole thing. It itches me. I'm nose-to-nose with the damn thing and I can't tell whether I feel proud, sick or indifferent towards it.

Still, I have to do this. Every job I've ever had has felt temporary to me - something to put up with until I can write for my supper. I can't go through life like that and never get anywhere, because that would be a tragedy that is too cliche to even write about.

Onwards.
