From my untitled historical fiction W-I-P.

1913 Cordelia Oliver

From "Laughter of the Hunted Gods." Death is broken:

"Now and then a haunt-fish would leap out of the river in rote endeavor to catch a fly that flew no more, or a haunt-heron stood on one leg, pale in the morning mist, keeping eternal wakeless vigil."

This week I planned to take a break from editing to start writing a different project.

8,320 words written, and a whole lot of brainstorming done!

Still extremely rough, but the vague outline I had in mind is shaping up pretty well!

After an amazing Eastercon 2026, I needed a day or two to recover.

I managed to do a first serious pass of edits on a short story (helped by great notes from the editor), and am nearly caught up with where I'm meant to be on writing a new novel.

I don't like Whitman's poetry but today I read and my heart is breaking. In the midst of civil war he found compassion and hope, while now the worst of us rage and destroy.

I fight. I resist. I'm capable of being moved to tears by an old poet's gentle and furious words.
