Not dead --

Just honestly have not been in much of a blogging mood. I'm popping in now mostly to note that my happy little cannibalism story, The Woods, Their Hearts, My Blood, which many of you objected to on the basis of "Ugh", "What were you thinking?", "You know, I think you should stick to snarking about movies" "Ok, that was freaky" "Chilling", "Oh my god", "Wow," "Disturbing" "Strange and dark and lovely" and "Why don't you write funny stuff?" just picked up an Honorable Mention from Ellen Datlow in her Best Horror of the Year, 2011. This is pretty unusual for me -- I don't write much horror, and what I do write typically goes unnnoticed -- but I suppose I can now start calling myself a horror writer of sorts.

Other Jabberwocky stories also made the list, as did several friends, which was pretty awesome. Congrats to all!
