I was trying to find a way of stopping the clock

My poem "Fjöturlundr (Saturnian)" has been accepted by ericmarin for the April issue of Lone Star Stories. It is mostly about the days of the week; also, Ragnarök. Probably I cannot blame fleurdelis28 for all of that.

Speaking of time, I suspect I should have mentioned before today that I will be attending this year's ICFA; I will be in Orlando from the 17th to the 22nd, and I have no idea what my online presence will be like. Last year indicates nonexistent, but maybe I will at least get some writing done. Anyone else going to be there? That I don't already know about?

I really hope someone has set the suitably anonymous Mr. Anderson's "Mummering at Christmas" to music, because I discovered it while looking for Simani's "Any Mummers Allowed In?" and it's awesome.

I photographed swans today.

I'd have to think so. Looking at it, I'm almost given to think it was meant as a song in the first place. With a bit of reflection, I suspect I could probably find an air to put it to, myself.

The way it's rhymed and written, it would be a waste if it weren't. Maybe it's somewhere in the Newfoundland folk tradition; I just couldn't find much attestation for it online.

For certain and for sure.

I've a couple of books of Newfoundland songs. I'll have a look through them. I've a friend up there as well--I might ask her, an I think about it, although she's busy lately, between writing sf/f pron and having a baby on the way.
