Yes, yes, I've been absent from Lj for a few days for various not very good reasons. Breaking my silence to note that my flash fiction piece, Nettles, has gone up at Scheherezade's Bequest/Cabinet des Fees today.
"Nettles" is part of a longer series of very short fairy tale pieces; previous ones have included Glass Dancing and Remembering Fur. It's been three years since the last one appeared, and I'm very glad to get back to them.
But this also serves as a nice reminder that I have not exactly been good at the finishing of short stories and other things so far this year. In part this is because of work on longer pieces (also unfinished), in part thanks to other matters, but we are close to the halfway point of the year now, so I need to re-embrace the concept of finishing things.
And if anyone reading this is looking for a bit of inspiration -- Demeter's Spicebox is still looking for stories for its third issue. Please let me know what happened to the teapot I created in this tale.
