Upcoming publication

February 9th, 2008 by kit · 10 Comments

My poem, “a 24th-century reflection on emptiness” will be published in 2008 by Aberrant Dreams. It’s my first pro sale in a few years; here’s to many more in the much nearer future.

    Woohoo!

    Good work, punalua!

    Because every post on this gets syndicated to LiveJournal under the “skzb” name, along with a great big picture of Steve Brust, you are going to have people thinking that Steve just sold a poem and wondering why Steve hasn’t made any pro sales in several years. Just sayin’.

    Congrats, though.

    Every post lists who the author is, but this is something we discussed as a confusion people might have if they were reading too quickly. Steve said he was willing to put up with this, but I suppose we’ll reevaluate if it becomes a problem.

    Thanks! :)

    Ditto what Patrick said. I know both of you well and I was still misled at first and confused until I clicked through and saw Steve’s comment to you.

    (and likewise, congrats!)

    Anne: We’ll take it into consideration.

    Wearing my moderator hat, I’d like to request that the rest of this thread remain on the topic of my poem, its publication, and how awesome I am/it is. I’ve opened up Free-for-all #2 for discussion of blog-related topics.

    Congrats there Kit, Thats fantastic! Enjoy the creative surge and all that. I find when I complete a piece of music and I really like it, other things get a boost and I try and ride the “Surge Momentum” until then, may your quill stay sharp, and your cheese increase in redolence.

    Reesa@6: The world takeover is underway.

    BlueOx@7: Thanks! I will try to ride the surge. :D

    Congratulations, Kit! If you and Dr. Elgin [ozarque on LJ] are ever at a con together, y’all should do a panel on sf poetry.

    Thanks, I’d love to be on a sf poetry panel someday.
