I've been muttering to myself for the last year that I wanted to get back to writing fiction regularly (and also to playing music regularly) but my environment has been too disordered to make it feasible. Then I learned that there's going to be another Sword and Sorceress anthology and I turned on my backbrain to start stirring up possible continuing "skin singer" plots. Well, something must be working, because my brain has been feeling very creative ... on an entirely different set of set-aside stories that wouldn't really work for S&S. Yes, cat-vacuuming strikes again! But, hey: at least the juices are flowing again.

(The stories that have taken over my brain come from a thread I think of jokingly as "the Mabinogi for lesbians" or "why yes, I've read entirely too much medieval Welsh literature lately, why do you ask?" A fun little romance number using themes and motifs from MW lit., although trying to avoid the archaic language trap. I actually sold the first story in the set to Jinx Beers for Lesbian Short Fiction ... right before it folded. By that time I had a second story halfway written but got stuck on a plot twist and set it aside.)

I'd love to do something for the skin-singers series that's a bit more on the comic side, but I'm not sure I can write comic. And, of course, there's no guarantee that anything I submit will get bought ....
