December SloMo 7 years, 7 months agoWell hello Denizens. Here’s December already and time to go easy on ourselves in amongst the seasonal madness. Come on in. Tell us what you might try to do today, or what you really don’t want to do, but have to. Get a cheer for dragging yourself out for a walk, or request a kick up the proverbial to hit that (low) word count. The kettle is always…[Read more]

Ooh, look at this! The chair by the window has my name on it.

This is brilliant @raine 😊 I mosied into the Den wondering if I should set up a SloMo thread but your brilliant self had already taken care of it. After a frenetic NaNo I’m going to scale my daily word count target back a bit and take more time for actual fun. I now have to schedule fun or I forget! So I’d like to finish my NaNo novel and write a…[Read more]

I have an editorial read-through booked for the end of January so my Slo-Mo aim is to rewrite a couple of chapters to increase the stakes and generally tighten up.

Stairway
In the church in my village was a staircase that went nowhere. It was not such a very rare thing. Lots of mediaeval churches in my part of the world have a little alcove near the pulpit that used to lead to the rood gallery โ an actual gallery, often beautifully decorated, high above the congregation from where the priest would deliver t…[Read more]

That’s great, Raine. I, too, remember that amazing Now and Then story, particularly the sense of setting and history. Good for you.

Thank-you everyone. ๐ ๐
@Daedalus, it’s due out in Feb, apparently. Quite a quick turn around! -

That is fantastic news, Raine. Not that I’m at all surprised. Thank you for sharing!

Daedalus replied to the topic Two newses in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago
Superb Raine, I love that story. Any idea when the antho will be out?
And thatโs a real endorsement about the flash piece. Iโm sure they wouldnโt have nominated it if they didnโt think it had a shot at winning.

The Flower and the Bee (370 words)
We watch the open window, falling sunlight, a red flower and an amber bee. This is just the start. Remember that. This is Venus raining diamonds above the black horizon in a damson sky. You have begun to breath the sea and your skin is a map of evenings and the moon will always rise, remember that. When my hand…[Read more]
