My first Omelas response story is out in @sciphijournal ! sciphijournal.org/index.php/…
So glad I could contribute to the tradition started by Ursula Le Guin and carried on in some of my favorite stories by Isabel Kim, NK Jemisin, and others.
One of my writing groups, Calendar of Fools, is going to be running another Kickstarter for a Missed-Fits anthology. Follow if you're interested in when it launches. If the KSer funds, there will be an open call in March or so. kickstarter.com/projects/cal…
Just sold my "The Ones Who Walk Away From New Jerusalem" to @sciphijournal. This isn't one I expected to sell because it's probably my most blasphemous story (generally in keeping with the character of the #UrsulaLeGuin story it's a response to).
I'm going to slush for UFO 10 (Unidentified Funny Objects), but only if the Kickstarter funds. So chip in if you can and you want to support an under-appreciated sub-genre of spec fic. Only 5 days left. It's going to be close!

My @WotFContest-winning story "A Word That Means Everything" reprinted in @PenumbricMag. New achievement for me because I'm first in a ToC for the first time!
My microessay "Orality and Respawn" about how oral traditions can address a problem in game storytelling is out in Crepuscular. It's one of the few works I've had two absolutely bomb titles for, the other being "Retold and Replayed"

Big writing news for me. Just signed for my poem "Why We Give" to appear in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine!
Selling "Why We Give" taught me you can turn any kind of experience into saleable words, even bleeding into a bag for the @RedCross.
Have a poem coming out in @WorldsofIF ! "Cultured Methodologies" is my saddest poem. Also my first anthropological piece.
Lots of impressive names in the last issue. I wonder who my neighbors will be. @space_books
