February 5th Writing Update

Writing and submissions update 5 Feb 2024

Writings

Things I've written since my last blog post.

• About 2/3 of an outline for a horror novel. Working title: Lazzie Come Home. I've also written a few passages of narrative and dialogue that probably won't make it into the manuscript, but they've helped me think about the story.
• Odd narrative or expository bits that don't really fit anywhere.
• Poems by me and my heteronyms (you can find out more about my heteronyms in this blog post):
  • 1/29/24, "Civilizing Influence" a collaboration between Mort Duffy and sylvester hobson
  • 1/30/24, "Have Always" by Basil Cartryte
  • 1/30/24, five untitled tanka by me
  • 2/1/24, "Nowadays" by Ian Erinson
  • 2/3/24, "Dilemma" by me
  • 2/4/24, untitled senryu by me
  • 2/5/24, "Brief Bio" by Basil Cartryte
