Poetry in Microfunding:
"An Amazing Carriage of Amber and Jade" belongs to the Steamsmith series. Maryam experiments with combining two important alchemical materials. "Behind the Red Robe" in the Hart's Farm series is now complete! Auduna and Rowen have a conflict over bathroom use.
Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," "Dusting Off the Green Speech," (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: "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" "Nomess Mithoirarv" (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).
The weather here has been broiling, hot and dry with no relief. Temperatures hovering around 100F. I'm putting out water in a pan for the birds, who are actually using it; they must be desperate because they usually ignore water that I provide. I'm also pouring water in the driveway so the butterflies can puddle.
