Weekly Enigma

Why must you take those I know?
Fish that swims where no plants grow.
With shining tail and silver fin, you take up lovers, friends, and kin.
Oh how I wish it wasn’t so.
You break earth’s laws and let them go.

Another one into the nether

I’ve submitted another story out into the wide-wide world of publications. I have to admit; I cheated a little this month and updated an old story rather then write an entirely new one. If there is one thing I can definitively say about the writing process it is that I will find any excuse possible to not write. That being said, I have made some significant progress on some old projects recently by starting fresh. There is nothing I dislike more than my own writing when it’s more than a few months old. Apparently it has a shelf life, who knew?

The story I re-tooled and sent out is one of my favorites, Large Slug. There is really nothing more to the story then what is implied in its title, it’s a story about one very big slug. Let’s hope it slithers me a little closer to publication. Still no word on Dark yet, but the editorial process takes about 8 weeks so no surprise there.

I look with supreme satisfaction at the lack of correct answers in my last two weeks enigma comment sections. Here is an easier on for you.

I am called what I cannot do.
Sitting here, so close to you.
Trapped in cloth both night and day.
How I wish to myself away.

If it is, you own it.
If it isn’t, you’ve sown it.

Weekly Enigma

We sit here in the darkness, me and all my brothers.
We have a single father, but none of us have mothers.
When we are finally born we unmake the birth of others.

Bi-Weekly Enigma

Sorry all, I dropped the ball on this last week. Here you go.

Momma doesn't mind the kids and Momma doesn't cook.
Thousand sisters in the house and not a single book.
