I just read the Jeanne Thornton essay in the new Feminist Press edition of Russ’s On Strike Against God. Good essay, and I found the final footnote particularly moving. I don’t want to give anything away, since the book isn’t even out for another month, so I’ll avoid spoilers for now. And then, since my […]

Remember those poems I revised and submitted the other day? Delighted to note that they’ve been accepted! “I Let Go Her Hand, Deliberately” and “Pervasive” for an anthology titled Sing, Slivered Tongue: An Anthology of South Asian Women’s Poetry of Trauma, to be published by Yoda Press, New Delhi, India, which is an independent, feminist,

Did a little writing work today, in between family commitments. This was fulfilling commitments too — way back when, I did the Vegan Serendib kickstarter, and I promised a Serendib tea party sampler cookbook. I’m finally working on that.

Productive day. Morning I did some crafting, went to Home Depot, got plants and planted up the front porch railing baskets. Afternoon I reviewed line edits on two stories of mine — two very very different stories, one for Wild Cards, and the other for Sunday Morning Transport, a sequel to “Expulsion”. It was a

I’m doing final proofing on a story I drafted two years ago, I think, which requires reading it again, and every once in a while, I run across a bit and think — oh, that’s rather good. I like that. I suppose one of the benefits of a terrible memory is that you can be
