To remember that I can believe
Every year feels harder than the one before. I don't even know what to say about this one. I spent most of it in illness and states of upheaval; I lost entire months in a way that hasn't been true since I first became chronically ill. I have trouble thinking of myself as alive. I maintained my website and my presence on AO3 and my cats have spent most of the evening sleeping on me.
I published one new piece of fiction, but it was important:
"As the Tide Came Flowing In" in As the Tide Came Flowing In, Nekyia Press, August 2022.
Some new poems and some of them very important also:
"Your Starving Days" in Not One of Us #69, January 2022.
"The House Snakes" in Uncanny Magazine #44, January 2022.
"The Direction of Escape" in A Not One of Us Special Web Publication (ed. John Benson), Not One of Us Publications, March 2022.
"The Poet" in Not One of Us #70, April 2022.
"Last Minute" in Strange Horizons, April 2022.
"A Correct Interpretation" in Not One of Us #71, June 2022.
"Sibylline" in Uncanny Magazine #47, August 2022.
"qe-ra-si-ja" in As the Tide Came Flowing In, Nekyia Press, August 2022.
"The Voice of the Cards" in Not One of Us #72, September 2022.
A couple of pleasing reprints:
"The Keystone Out of Your Arch" in The Stellar Beacon: Coded, December 2022.
"Phliasian Investigations" in The Stellar Beacon: Coded, December 2022.
For whatever reason, an unusual quantity of fanfiction for me:
"Let the Neighbors Say Little or Much" (The Covert Captain), May 2022.
"The Double Bluff" (Doctor Who: The Robots of Death), September 2022.
"The Debt of Centuries" (Sapphire & Steel), October 2022.
And so little for Patreon that it hurts:
The New Lot (1943), January 2022.
The October Man (1947), January 2022.
The Love Test (1935), January 2022.
A Girl Must Live (1939), February 2022.
Mr. Denning Drives North (1951), February 2022.
A Month in the Country (1987), March 2022.
The Rocking Horse Winner (1949), June 2022.
Autobiography of a Princess (1975), July 2022.
Mine Own Executioner (1947), October 2022.
"Nunc Dimittis" (The Hunger, 1999), October 2022.
Murder Is My Beat (1955), November 2022.
No Escape (1953), December 2022.
But also there was my chapbook, my first collection of fiction in four years and my first collection of poetry in seven and for many reasons the most important thing I published this year:
As the Tide Came Flowing In, Nekyia Press, August 2022.
I can see the shape of the year in everything I didn't write. I have to remember it is not the only scaffolding of time. Still being here into the next year is another. Happy New Year. Mir veln zaynen do.
