I apologize for breaking in on the actual content that's been going on around here this week to divulge that I just sold a short story to the fabulous Terri Windling and Midori Snyder for the upcoming YA issue of the Journal of Mythic Arts. This would be my first short story sale ever* and to a venue I adore, so I'm supremely excited.
That is all.
*Technically, there might have been some flirtations with zines years ago, but I'd just as soon not talk about that. I consider those dalliances, not short fiction.
Awesome! Congratulations!

Woo hoo!
(Is it a novel excerpt or something totally different?)

It's something totally different... but the _next_ novel I write will likely use some of the seeds from it.
