Grow strong and learn to fly

[sovay]

So I am not doing well. I am waiting on some things to see if they improve. Some other things are just very worrying right now. Here is a good thing.

My very short story "Exorcisms" has been selected for reprint in Rose Lemberg's An Alphabet of Embers. It was published originally in Mythic (2006). It's about dybbuks.

Congratulations!

(I admit I had to Google "dybbuk." Now I know slightly more than I did!)

They seem to be one of the things I write about.

That is a good thing. The second half of "She Commands Me and I Obey" is up--that's another good thing.

Hoping the wait *will* bring improvement.

We even met our stretch goal! So we can publish longer stories now, for everyone who starts at novelette-length.

(Between "She Commands Me and I Obey" and "Night's Slow Poison," I begin to have hope of a book of Radch stories.)

Hoping the wait *will* bring improvement.

Thank you.

That is an excellent thing!

I hope the not-excellent things get better soon.

Thank you on both fronts! Me, too.

Most excellent!

Hoping those other, worrisome things get better.

Most excellent!

This is going to be an amazing anthology. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Hoping those other, worrisome things get better.

Thank you.

I'm sorry you're not well. Glad, though, to hear of the reprint--Alphabet of Embers will be marvelous!

I hope you get some news to ease your worries.

I am very happy about that. Except that I want to read the anthology right now!

I hope you get some news to ease your worries.

Thank you. I really appreciate your icon.
