I recently got word that a story of mine will be published in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, a very cool zine published by Gavin Grant and Kelly Link at Small Beer Press. LCRW is like the sacred madre patria for writers of weird stuff, so I’m pretty geeked out to have a story published with them.
I first wrote this particular story at Clarion in response to my mates’ saying that I needed to write more concrete, sensory details. “Ha!” I said, “I’ll write a story so filled with concrete details that it can only be titled ‘Concrete!'” Alas, the story ended up being a surrealist story that demanded to be re-titled “This is Not Concrete.” Ah, well…
Will post more when I know when the story will find its way into the wild.
Commence the inevitable discussion of cannonball physics! Perhaps it’s time for you to add a forum to this website, for just such threads! 🙂
I’m very glad the-artist-formerly-known-as-Concrete found such an awesome home! Well done.
I *did* try to fix the cannonball physics in later drafts, although I suspect the hardcore cannonball physicists will never be fully satisfied. 🙂
Concrete has a home? Yesss! (and what a home!)
Keep us updated, I’m looking forward to reading its final form 😀
