Writerly Ways

I was going to write something about using my pain to write but honestly today words are finally coming like they haven't since before the accident and I don't want to stop them. I did however use my pain to write a 300 word flash fic for a contest. I'm going to use ELD's edits and send it in.

And I DO have a story coming out that I both love and regret. I know the editor (and still glad he chose me out of dozens of stories) and assumed it was LGBT but it wasn't. I could have put my own name on it instead of Jana's since this isn't LGBT romance but that's okay. This is a solarpunk SF anthology and have a look at it here. I hope it's something you might like.

So have some links
