I sometimes think a robot would be better at identifying the traffic lights than I am. Hang on, maybe that’s the point…

Now there’s a coincidence. Neither am I.

Nor me! Although I am not good with those pictures!

Those blasted traffic lights. I’m always relieved to get the fire hydrants. I think I’m becoming a fire hydrant fan.

Good to mix things up with the occasional bit of fire hydrant. But where’s the other street furniture? Why can’t we identify some litter bins for a change, or bike stands or something?

Dogs. I want to identify all the dalmatians in a field full of friesan cows.

I once saw a dalmatian in a field full of daisies.
Re street furniture, it could be the tables and chairs a coffee shop blocks the pavement with in a town near me.

That’s not too long in the scheme of things (it being September already, aaargh!) – make sure you post a link in Podium when it appears 🙂

Fantastic, so pleased for you. Any idea when it might be published?
-
Not till early next year apparently. Not sure when exactly.
-
Great news, Raine. Congratulations! Let us know when it’s published.

Woooow, Strange Horizons is AMAZING Raine, WELL DONE! I’ve wanted to get a story in there forever, this is huge
-
It’s great, isn’t it? I’m so delighted. They asked for an R&R a few months ago, so I had all my fingers and toes crossed, and now YAY! 🙂

You know what I think about this – delighted for you. And delighted others are going to get a chance to read this wonderful book
-
Yaayy! I’m SO SO delighted about this news, and they are very lucky publishers to have snapped you up. What a wonderful team you make. Just surprised it’s taken this long but now your gorgeous prose will be out in the world. So happy for you lovely! xx

Things that go bump 6 years, 1 month ago…Although I’ve just remembered my ‘Room with a View’ story wasn’t supernatural. You know, the one where I came top? Memorable, clearly

I’ve entered six of these now and four of them have had some sort of supernatural aspect. This one definitely ought to be up your street

Daedalus replied to the topic Chit Chat in the forum
Things that go bump 6 years, 1 month agoAs do I, although I just have this feeling that the fact I’ve essentially written ghost stories, broadly defined, for the last four challenges straight is not going to help me in the slightest

Wow Richard, what a story. I really wasn’t expecting that ending. It’s funny when you meet people who just have this sort of energy about them, who you know in your bones are remarkable. Lovely bit of real life at a deep emotional level, beautifully told

Thanks Jane. I only have two left I’m afraid, and I didn’t want to go lower than that. There may still be some in a shop or two somewhere which I’ll chase up but very few of the places I sent copies to on sale or return ever got back to me
-
If you can that would be great Daeds.

Joshua Slocum’s ‘Sailing Alone Around The World’ is great. Then there’s Francis Chichester’s book about his own circumnavigation, which I think was just called Gypsy Moth, or possibly Around The World In Gypsy Moth? Thanks for recommending Daedalus @raine – very kind. It’s OOP now but I’ll see if I have any spare copies left
-
Thanks @richardb, @libby, @daedalus. Great suggestions. If you had a spare copy, Daeds, I would happily buy it.

Thanks all. Was glad this one found a home, not having had much success with short fiction recently

That’s amazing Elle, well done. Thoroughly deserved, of course. I love your craft, your prose is amazing and you’re one of those writers where every word is perfectly chosen, so I look forward very much to the result!
