In the meantime, I've assembled most of the rest of my steampunk outfit: shirt, pants, and boots from clockworkcouture.com, as well as the perfect brass-buttoned steampunk vest from -- get this -- Hot Topic. I hadn't stepped into a Hot Topic in over a year. What wonderful luck?
Changing gears with several fiction projects. The story I was writing for Phaze will now be finished for Samhain, and I'll be writing a different story for Phaze instead. I'm also pretty sure now that I do, indeed, want to finish the steam dragon story I was writing for the "Magic in Trafficking" anthology for Drollerie Press. I'd been playing with the idea of using it as the beginning of a web serial, instead -- but I really don't have the time or resources for that monumental undertaking right now. So, single short story it is. (Perhaps with web fiction sequels.)
Dizzy yet? I am.
Looking at a small stack of stories now that need to be edited. Among them: Nightblood, my first complete novelette about werewolves; the "Trafficking in Magic" story for Drollerie Press; and the beginning of the steam dragon story.
Whew! In any case, it was a nice drizzly day today. Bait tracked mud into the house after I walked him. When I tried to dry his feet, he thought I was playing. I think that dog is a mutant rabbit, and not a dog at all.
Love, Fangs, and Fur. :)=
Very cool!
