Visit Torquere Press’s Road of a Relationship board and click on Day 20 to read my short story, “Vows.”
Also as part of the anniversary celebration, Torquere Press has released a collection of Wedding Sips, the profits and royalties of which will be donated to the Lambda Legal and other GLBT legal funds.
Torquere Press has moved its books and press site to their own servers, which means URLs have changed all over the place. I’ve updated the URLs for my books on their publications pages and will catch them in blog entries at a later date.
I will also be working on the layout for jj.com today, so expect things to be in flux a bit.
Because apparently I can never have too many side projects, I’ve started something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: started an e-zine. Rumbullion Magazine is a non-genre-specific literary magazine, and is now accepting submissions for the first edition.
Details are at Rumbullion and feel free to ask questions, as I’m figuring things out as I go.
The smell of fall is in the air, the weather is turning colder, there’s snow on the mountain tops . . . must mean it’s time for Nanowrimo.
I’ll be participating this year. This will be my fourth year NaNoing: both Chiaroscuro and Something Beautiful’s rough drafts were NaNoWriMo projects. My first year was a fanfic novel that is still unfinished. (Which is, believe me, for the best.) Last year I did not because I had a deadline in December and didn’t feel I could do both and give either the attention they deserved. But this year . . . ah, this year :D. I have plans. I have a few different plots to choose from for when it’s time to sit and write. I’m so excited. (Really, this is me excited.)
I just cleared out my buddy list at the NaNoWriMo site of names I don’t recognize so if I need to add you back give me a pokin’. I am minorblue (though that may change if they implement the renaming thing they hinted at last year. Or not. I’m easily bored–I change names a lot.) And I will happily accept new NaNoBuddies, because it’s just more fun that way.
I may be doing another Thing in tandem with NaNoWriMo, but that’s still a decision I need to make. So more on that later. Or not.
The t-shirt they have for this year, celebrating NaNoWriMo’s tenth anniversary, is pretty nifty, too. I love commemorative t-shirts.
calmAngela Bendetti has a post about wanting the Shiny New Idea Joy, and whoo boy, do I hear that.
contemplativeI’ve added a calendar utility to the website. I’ll list things like release dates, contest deadlines and events like hosting the torquere_social community on Livejournal there.
It’ll be bare for a while. I’m just writing this month. (Twelve thousand words on the next San Francisco novel, kids. I’m thrilled to bits.)
Part of Torquere Press’s anniversary celebrations is the Road of a Relationship board game. Like our Advent calendar in December, click a new tile every day for a story, anecdote or recipe, special offers and clues for the scavenger hunt. Have fun!
