The houses close their doors and dream of her

My poem "Heyiya," written for my best cousin [livejournal.com profile] gaudior, has been accepted by Strange Horizons. She's that awesome.

Today and yesterday and the day before, the air has been bright and cool, the sun starting to slant over at the end of summer: not quite a foretaste of autumn. The ghosts are coming up out of the ground.

yaay! Yes, it is autumn that's in the air. Apples are ripening.

What is your entry's subject line from?

Thank you!

Oooh, I like that *a lot* I'll have to check out those other songs, too.

Hmmm, yes, it's lovely, although I don't like autumn much - spring is my season. But even so, to quote a different Le Guin, "Praise the Creation unfinished!"

I think I need an autumnal manga icon ... there are some lovely autumn-themed color "extras" from several of my favorite mangaka.

Certainly ... it may not be for a bit, I'm writing a big angst-filled fanfic thing and it's sopping up all the spare creativity.

(And because I'm spaced like that - belated congratulations on another publication!)

This, itself, is a very lovely autumnal icon, with Totoro playing in the leaves :-)

Oooh, yes, lovely indeed - but that one's not mine. It's the creation of kate-nepveu ... I got it (and its sibling on this post) here.

I feel compelled to have such icons from my favorite manga series, because manga makes me happy these days!

Oh, those are **so nice** She did a great job! Not sure which I like best--but the two you've got here are definitely tops. Love the "Grow, seeds, grow" one too :-)

Congratulations!

The ghosts are coming up out of the ground.
Ghosts? ...or Growth! (ominous fanfare).

It's cooling here as well of late.

Novel revisions are currently eating my brain, but mad science sounds awfully tempting!
