It’s only fourteen seconds long, but Oh. My. Goodness.

We took Hringur to visit the children at the hospital for the first time.

As far as the kids were concerned, it was a successful visit. Unfortunately the fogging was still happening. Aðalbjörk, the actress inside, said she couldn’t see anything after about five minutes. That’s no good.

But. I had them over today, and we think we’ve found a solution. More on that later. Meanwhile, if you want to watch the raw footage of the entire twenty minute visit, it’s here.

Woo-hoo! Happy dancing and rejoicing abounds! I just got word that I sold “For Solo Cello, op. 12″ to Cosmos. This is my third pro-sale! The story comes out in their February/March issue.

The story originated as part of a flash challenge contest at Liberty Hall. It’s now about twice the length that it was. Damien Broderick, the fiction editor, is a sweetheart and gave me a rewrite request on this story and then, bless him, had been willing to work with me during the rewrite process. It’s a much stronger story and that’s due to his insights.

Plus!

Each short story is accompanied by a lavish double-page illustration commissioned especially for each piece of original fiction we publish

I love art. Oh, happy, happy dancing.

SFWA? Oh, yes. Although they don’t have Cosmos listed, so I’m filling out the SFWA qualifying form and then I’ll apply for membership. Ha ha!
