Narration

Upcoming Events

December's going to be a busy, with several things happening during the month. Contests, conventions and a few other things apart from my usual podcast schedule and the holidays are all coming up. First, I have an entry in Pseudopod's Flash Fiction Contest VII that - barring a last-minute upset - will very likely make it into the final round as of writing this. If you're interested in what made it to the final round, go check it out. Second, I'll not only be attending my very first WorldCon (DisCon III), but I'll be on two panels: December 16, 4:00 PM (Virtual) Reviewing: Widely or Deeply - (with A.C. Wise, Arley Sorg, Jake Casella Brookins, Gary K Wolfe, Penelope Flynn) Presented with all of SFF to review, how does a reviewer determine their beat? Should they read widely, and address work as a knowledgeable generalist, or read deeply within their specialty, and...

As a part of that, I also joined their writing challenge to finish a flash fiction story every week based off writing prompts. I've now completed three flash fiction pieces, and hope to complete three more before the Write-A-Thon's complete. One of the last prompts was a list of words, where "axolotl" was included. This immediately brought to mind the supremely weird Julio Cortázar short story, Axolotl which I then used as an inspiration. I'm pleased with what I came up with and can't wait to revise it and get it ready to submit. After reading my story recently, a friend reminded me about the Blood Sea of Istar (from the Dragonlance Chronicles I'd talked about on Podside Picnic and on my follow-up post). It was a weird moment for me, realizing how this area of Krynn...
