Read "On the Road to Inoram" on Torn World
There are five epic poems in microfunding. Two of these are new, "From the Free City" (Fiorenza) and "Will Not" (Path of the Paladins). " From the Free City" covers the aftermath of a siege on Fermo as it affects Fiorenza's village. " Will Not" follows Johan as he contemplates the conflicts of his past and present. " Restoration" tells how the radiator dragon came to live in Monster House. " The Accidental Hero" follows Aldornia and Zenobia when one of Aldornia's relatives unexpectedly appears in the Temple of Golden Light. " Igor's Creature" is a mix of horror and science fiction with a large helping of sociology and a wry twist of humor. The epic poem " A Periodic Table of Elementals" has been retired for now. For further details, please see " Let's Talk About Serial Poetry."
Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," "On the Rocks," (fiction). Back to me for edits: "Catch and Release," (fiction), "Seafoam Fashions," "Hide Away," "Red Glass, Green Glass," "Bitter Herbs" (poetry). Currently in front of the canon board: nothing. Drafted: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands," "Like Ash Before the Wind," "Breaking the Ice," "From Dark to Bright," "Beached Fish," "The Bones of Need" (fiction) and "The Hearsay Cafe," "The Colors of the Rainbow," "Pull Your Ropes," "Jugglers," "The Majestic View" (poetry). In revision at home: "Water Dance," "The Green Speech," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," (fiction). Currently writing: "Raining Kittens," "Catch of the Day," "Reaching for the Moons" (fiction).
The cooler weather means I can do more work outside, when it's not raining. I've planted most of the fall bulbs from the current batch, though I still have a few crocus and a bag of tulips to finish. Harvest is well underway here, with the field corn coming down.
