Sleepy Update

[wyld_dandelyon]

The convention was long, and lots of fun. I talked about writing a lot, both my personal writing and Torn World. Today I had a job interview, and watched Olympic skating.  I think the job interview went well, though the woman I interviewed with said she was sorry she had only one opening, because there were a number of very qualified applicants.

I don't feel nearly caught up with LJ, or with the Torn World forums, which were quite busy over the weekend.  And never mind Twitter or Facebook!

But I did share some feedback I got about the Torn World site with the canon board, and I believe soon the landing page (tornworld.net) will make it much easier for people to find the free stories and poetry, to get a sense of what Torn World is all about.

I have new stuff up at Torn World, including two poems that are locked for Patrons only. The first was written to enrich the Beads and Memories story, which mentions a poem but does not quote it. The second was written during the Torn World Muse Fusion, but not sponsored, and so was submitted to the site as a Patrons Only piece.

That poem was prompted by ysabetwordsmith , who told me she was glad to have inspired such a powerful piece of writing.  Which was very satisfying, being the most simple and positive comment she's made on my work so far.

Balancing that, I got a couple of rejections in my e-mail. 

You know, the expected and inevitable process of collecting rejections is easier to tolerate when it's not the only feedback you're getting!
