2020 Writing Log, Part 22
Jun. 14th, 2020 10:12 pm- I posted Chapter 39 of Malice on AO3. This chapter has a cool illustration from Meiaushzz, who’s put together a body of incredible digital paintings that include some choice video game fan art.
- I put a fair amount of admin work into the Ganondorf zine.
- I know I said I’m done with Zelda fan art, but I saw a meme and had to draw it for myself.
- I finally got access to an office photocopier/scanner, so I made a scan and sent in my translation of Hiromi Kawakami’s short story “Summer Break” to Samovar.
- I spent another few days working on my original short story “Don’t Eat the Fish,” and I sent it to the body horror anthology. (The blog run by the editor is really fun, by the way.)
Submitting my first original short story for potential publication is a major milestone for me, and it felt great to put my nonbinary name on the manuscript. I also changed the name on my email address and website. I still feel a bit of residual pressure from the notion that it’s “too late” to get started on where I want to be in my life, but fuck it. Today is a good day.
