Full Fathom Forty

My 1920s New York set weird fantasy House of Snowflakes has been accepted by David J Howe for the British Fantasy Society's 40th Anniversary anthology Full Fathom Forty. The anthology will be launched at Fantasycon this September.

Two acceptances in one week. I think I like this summer.

In other news, my lawnmower almost blew up and (it gets worse) I still had to do the garden using our rickety old lawnmower.

NaNoWriMo - Introducing a Theme Tune

NaNoWriMo Catch-up:

Today's Word Count: 1822 / 523 (short story)
Total Word Count: 6865 /523 (other projects)
Time Frame: 1924ish

Things I discovered today: Rob 'Magic' Turner is a comic (I've missed humour) / Ben has a goldfish. It doesn't have a name / Went to bed thinking, 'Yay, I'm on track, I'm a little over the word count. I can do this,' and woke up to the realisation I needed to hit a brand new 1667 words #egofail
The most important thing discovered today: This is FUN.
Googled: 1920s Magic Tricks
