Which is, in and of itself, completely different.
Some of you may have noticed that I only recently - okay, 5mins ago - uploaded my A Calendar of Tales entries, one of which was actually chosen as a Runner Up for the March illustration and is featured on the website, acalendaroftales.com. And you think to yourself, this is big news! why is she only telling us now?
And I'll tell you why. It's because I was waiting to announce something else along side it. And now I can.
Some of my long time followers may remember me mentioning my participation in the making of the Amanda Palmer tarot deck. This would have been about 4yrs ago.
Wait, what? Amanda Palmer! That is quite a tangent. Just because they're married doesn't mean that they're joined at the hip. You could have told us about the one already. Also 4yrs ago they weren't even married, so whatever.
Okay, okay. But aside from two artists, of whom I am a fan individually, there is another linkage. My mad photography skillz! By "participating in," I really meant "providing art for" the Amanda Palmer Tarot deck, by illustrating one of the cards.
What deck? you ask. Where is this deck? I want one! Well now, after 4yrs, you can finally purchase one! Just help us get the deck into the world by backing our Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/m…
You receive a copy of the deck at the $45 backer level, but at the $80 level you get a super-sweet box to keep your deck in too. It's really beautiful.
Supporting this Kickstarter is your ONLY CHANCE to get one if these gorgeous AFP tarot decks! This is not a business venture, this is stunning limited edition art.
And once you get your deck, keep your eye out for the five of pentacles. That's my card.
Update: The cedar box option has sold out! Before I even got one.
Update 2: A new and different box option is available! Get one while it lasts.
In happier news, we are funded!!! But don't let that stop you!
How To get Published 2.0
Publishing Week
It's been a little over 15 months since since I last wrote a "How to" Guide to Publishing for Project Educate. And guess what? Nothing has changed in the last 15 months. The greatest change to happen in Lit Mag submission is the ability to submit your work online. And some of the more established journals just want you to get out your SASEs. My previous article is still available for perusal. It was written specifically in regards to poetry submissions, but the general tenants hold for other lit subs as well.
However, I'm sure you all are craving that mineral –

The Rejection Project

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, the sweet sweet smell of Rejection, every new writer's favorite cologne!
Rejection
It happens all the time. And it's like
But it's going to keep happening. So you have to get used to it. And keep sending out your work. And finding little victories.
Victory #1
You were not rejected!
Success! But that isn't going to happen. Let's be real. You're publication credits will be far outnumbered by your rejection credits. The average person publishes 1 book a year factoid actually just a statistical error. Average person publishes 0 books per year. Seanan McGuire who publishes 5 books a year is an outlier and sho

in about the most emotionally destructive and draining way possible. Better to know, I suppose. How much I still don't know now. How much have we all to conceal?
Today's recommended reading: The Beauty of the Husband by Anne Carson. (This is more than a little (un)intentionally steeped with layers of irony.)
