Plans and Goals
Website Updates: I've done a lot of work on my website in the past week. I've changed some of the tabs and organization. Check out the new section for The Silk Road Allies, a shared world project in which China and Italy make friends.
Poetry in Microfunding:
"An Amazing Carriage of Amber and Jade" belongs to the Steamsmith series. Maryam experiments with combining two important alchemical materials. No new verses, but a general fund donation did reduce the amount needed to reveal the next verse. "The Lost and Found Legion" belongs to The Silk Road Allies. It is being funded in installments by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marina_bonomi, and describes how China and Italy came to form an alliance. "A Hole in the Blanket" opened and closed within the week; it tells of an African warrior whose brother gets abducted by demons.
Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," (fiction). Back to me for edits: "Breaking the Ice," (fiction), "Patterns in the Grass" "The Colors of the Rainbow," (poetry), "Half-Leg," "Dolls in the Empire" (nonfiction). Currently in front of the canon board: "Nomess Mithoirarv" (fiction), "Imalye Fotolyi" "The Girl Who Wanted Too Much" (poetry), "Ghost Bat" "A Dryland Ecosystem" "An Avian Ecosystem" (nonfiction). Drafted: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands," "Like Ash Before the Wind," "From Dark to Bright," "Beached Fish," "The Inappropriate But Useful Disposal of Lettuce" "A Thin Red Trail" "The Museum of Mortality" (fiction), "Packing for the Long Haul" "Birds of War" "A Gift of Time" "Changes in the Wind" (poetry). In revision at home: "Water Dance," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," "The Bones of Need" "Raining Kittens," (fiction), "Breeding the Perfect Fighter," "The Smallest Invaders" (poetry). Currently writing: "Catch of the Day," "Reaching for the Moons" "Winterheart" "A Cold Clear Night" (fiction).
We've had a slight break in the heat here, but only a few drops of rain. Everything is still shriveled. On the slightly less sweltering days, the birds go back to ignoring the water that I put out.
