Mostly writing miscellanea

Climbing Lightly Through Forests: A Poetry Anthology Honoring Ursula K. Le Guin is out today, about which I have many squeaky noises. My poem, "Of Winter and Other Seasons", a meditation on Le Guin, gender, neurodivergence, and identity, is in the book. (As you might guess from its title and the content there is a lot of The Left Hand of Darkness in there, but many other things as well.)

I have my fingers crossed on the thing peripherally involving horrible unicorns.

I finished a story I'm quite pleased with the other day (and submitted it to its relevant CFS) only the main characters keep talking to me and honestly the result is more fanficlike than saleable but they are very cheerful? So they can keep rattling around in the back of my head discussing the health effects of vampirism and the problems of toxic masculinity.

Wanted to play RimWorld this weekend but I didn't have a 1.2 mod setup, got one that I thought worked reasonably well and it turns out it did not so that is the current obsessive debug thing. I need to pick a story to work on, which will be one of 'there are three things with deadlines in February, I should try one of those' or the Bennie novella, or both.

I am (intermittently) a stunningly creatively productive burnout case, and that is very, very tiring.

Also I cannot a body temperature and that is also tiring.

Boo, involuntary poikilothermy.

(Also, yay! squeaky noises.)

An awful lot of commercial successes out there partake of the fanfic nature.

Just saying.

Happy book day!

I need to check whether I pre-ordered it and then rectify the situation if I did not.

Congratulations on the release!

I misread as Bernie novella and was wondering if this was an iteration of the mittens meme I had missed. Possibly I need more caffeine. I like it when characters do that sort of puttering, though, and I wish there was a way to market it more; I feel like I'm not the only one who's go for it.

*checks again to make sure I didn't write this* <.<

Hooray for poetry anthology release; how wonderful! I bought a copy, though I won't be reading it until March. Still, I look forward to it!

I hope that things become less tiring and more enjoyable for you.
