So I have been wanting to learn to write good Light Fantasy fiction. A friend from FWO told me that one way to get in-tune with Light Fantasy writing is by collecting jokes, or at least write down little things that amuse me so I won’t forget them. I never know, I may use them in a story or they may even become stories in future. I thought to myself: what a wonderful idea!

So let me add the first into my collection:

“The psychiatrist really helped me a lot. I would never answer the phone before, because I was afraid. Now I answer it whether it rings or not.”

Have a good day!

Distant whispers, tuneless songs
Fill my head, expand, explode.

Heavy soreness, choking words,
Up my throat, explode, extort.

Spinning colours, useless thoughts,
through my mind, extort, exhaust.

Free me.

I have terrible headache and my throat is sore so I didn’t go to work today. I feel bad, however, as I have so much to do there. But work is only work, what can you do?

Got another notice of rejection today, from “Mindflights” I have been submitting all my stories to that mag, and they don’t seem to want me Oh well, I will keep trying. I checked out Ralan today and submitted more to other magazines. Noted there were some new mags there, so that’s pretty cool. Many with cool websites too. It makes me want to start one up!

Also checked out FWO’s creator’s blog today – Elle.Playsloud.com – wow! it’s so fantastic, I feel inspired! She also talked about Nanowrimo which makes me think I should really get my act together and participate. Not this year, though, I have too much on my plate

Oh good news is – I got confirmation that the book that I bought on Amazon – “Fairy Senses” – has been shipped. Yay! I am excited, because my friend, Frances Ruiz, wrote this one and I look forward to reading it I wish her all the best as this is her first publication!

Anyway, hope I feel better soon. I hate being sick…
