Back to The Legendary

The Legendary have printed another story of mine:

The Sonora Home for Wayward Girls

Which will be archived here when the new issue is no longer new.

I really like this one. It's short and bitter.

Show Me Your Lits

Well, after that paean to Scrawl, it's only fitting that my other online writing love gets a little bit of the same treatment, especially considering I have another story up now which started its life there. Show Me Your Lits is a wonderful, wonderful place. Its focus is on inspiration, and helping kickstart ideas an impetus to write. Every week, there's a flash challenge, where you access a prompt and then have ninety minutes to write a piece inspired by it. Everybody posts their story anonymously, and everyone comments on each others stories and votes on their favourite. It's not really very competitive -- it's a hell of a lot of fun, and it has inspired me to write some of my best stuff, and vastly improved me as a writer, as well as giving me the occasional ego boost.

And now, the piece I wrote which got me my first ever win there, Neuroplasticine, has been published by Grey Sparrow Journal.

Thanks, Lits. Thanks in particular to Errid, who runs it, and is one of the most supportive people I know, and who very early on trusted me enough to make me a moderator there.
