ysabetwordsmithThese are some posts from the later part of last week, in case you missed them:
See the Psychic Photographer
Black Hair Is Beautiful
Read "Willows" by Rix_scaedu
More Steamsmith Characters
Fiction by Baaing_tree
Torn Tongue: Natural/Living Nouns Beginning with "S"
Recipe: Smokin' Apple Barbecue Sauce
Poetry Acceptance: "Lab Rage"
A Ruling Against DOMA
Poetry in Microfunding:
"In the Palms of My Hands" is now complete, as is "The Morose Mascot." Currently open in Hart's Farm is "Rosehips and Honey," about Rowen teaching children about gardening. New epics may be opened in almost any series, except for Hart's Farm and The Steamsmith because they've got free poems pending in a poll.
Due to enthusiasm from new prompters and donors (yay!) you get a free poem each in Hart's Farm and in The Steamsmith (YAY!). Go vote for your free poetry. There are new poems listed in both series on the Serial Poetry page, although I need to update again to account for the ones I finished yesterday. Also, based on a recent discussion, poems in The Steamsmith are now priced at twice the usual rate because of extra research/writing work ... and, erm, hazard pay. I'm mostly caught up after the mayhem of last week.
Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," (fiction), "Hide Away," "Bitter Herbs" "Red Glass, Green Glass," (poetry). Back to me for edits: "Seafoam Fashions," (poetry), "Half-Leg," "Northern Game: Bola-Ball," "Dolls in the Empire" (nonfiction). Currently in front of the canon board: "Catch and Release," "Dusting Off the Green Speech," "Doing the Work" (fiction), "Unlicensed Dreams" "The Hearsay Cafe," "The Colors of the Rainbow," "Something Big Is Coming" "How Skycat Got Her Name" "The Unicorn Surprise" (poetry), "Wild Herbivores of the North" (nonfiction). Drafted: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands," "Like Ash Before the Wind," "From Dark to Bright," "Beached Fish," (fiction). In revision at home: "Water Dance," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," "The Bones of Need" "Raining Kittens," "Breaking the Ice," (fiction). Currently writing: "Catch of the Day," "Reaching for the Moons" "Winterheart" (fiction), "Fish of the North" (nonfiction).

Weather today is sunny and pleasant, though we had a couple cold windy days recently. The first of my crocus are blooming in the rain garden near the door, a brilliant sunny yellow. Daffodils have buds on them. Many of the tulips are up now.
