There are two epic poems in microfunding. "Will Not" follows Johan as he contemplates the conflicts of his past and present, and has two new verses. "Igor's Creature" is a mix of horror and science fiction with alarge helping of sociology and a wry twist of humor.
Now is a good time to open a new epic for microfunding if you wish to do so. There are several epics each in Fiorenza the Wisewoman and in Monster House, both of which series are eligible. "Beggars Night" in Monster House is a Halloween poem and has an illustration by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I have completed rough drafts of my two articles for the Llewellyn Herbal Almanac, and plan to polish those this week. That's the end of my current assignments for the annuals.
Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," "On the Rocks," (fiction). Back to me for edits: "Catch and Release," (fiction), "Seafoam Fashions," "Hide Away," "Red Glass, Green Glass," "Bitter Herbs" (poetry). Currently in front of the canon board: "Thunder Stones" (poetry), "Dairy Sow" (nonfiction). Drafted: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands," "Like Ash Before the Wind," "Breaking the Ice," "From Dark to Bright," "Beached Fish," "The Bones of Need" (fiction) and "The Hearsay Cafe," "The Colors of the Rainbow," (poetry). In revision at home: "Water Dance," "The Green Speech," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," (fiction). Currently writing: "Raining Kittens," "Catch of the Day," "Reaching for the Moons" (fiction).
Autumn weather has been variable here. Leaves are falling all over the yard, almost enough to rake up and mulch the flower beds. It took several days for the birds to realize that the hopper feeder and fly-through feeder had seed in them, as it rained immediately after I filled those.my_partner_doug and I have gotten some yardwork done, though, so it's been a productive week all around.
