Spring Bloodroot Moon
Been reading through beta reader #5’s comments in preparation for a face to face on Saturday. At the same time I’m well into the last third of my own read through of the manuscript. I’ve taken many notes, lots of ideas, some drastic, many substantial, some cosmetic churning around in my head.
Reentering the fictive dream for Missing will not be hard. It feels like the Tailte mythos (the world on which almost all of Missing occurs) has only begun to breathe. It stretches and spreads its presence out in my thoughts. I imagine the gods playing more active roles, Asian deities and Middle Eastern, in another set of stories. The gods will begin to take on more important roles in Loki’s Children and the Unmaking, the two other volumes in this trilogy.
I took a look at short story markets today. I want to polish up some of mine and get them in circulation. The energy in the writing and translating has increased markedly, not only over the last couple of years, but even over the last couple of months. Something exciting is happening and in part I’m just along for the ride.
