I was going to blog about what I did in October (editing, some reading, a road trip, a wedding (not mine—that is next year) birthday parties and some new ideas for short stories that I have noted down in my trusty notebook) and then yesterday I received some most excellent news—my short story The Broken Juggler will be published with The Red Penny Papers next year. I love this tale of weird and oddly tall sisters and I wrote it especially for The Red Penny Papers so I’m really excited that it’s been accepted.
Aside from happy dancing around the room (my happy dance is akin to a zombie doing the Hustle after drinking several litres of Red Bull, because I have absolutely no coordination) I’ll be spending November editing, and actually enjoying it—it’s taking a hell of a lot longer than I’d planned when I set my goals for the year, but I’ve accepted that and I’m working at a slow but steady pace.
Lastly, I’d like to point you to The Red Penny Papers to read the first instalment of The Sons of Chaos and the Desert Dead by Aaron Polson. It’s an intensely disturbing read and I’m sure that when you’ve finished you be waiting impatiently for the next instalment, just as I am.
