I’m usually not to good at this internet networking stuff, but I got a GoodReads message from soon-to-be debuting author Kirsten Hubbard about a review I wrote awhile back and was so glad I did. And not just because I later ran into her on metafilter (gotta love those mefites). She just released the cover [...]

A Time to Plant, A Time to . . . Edit

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Editing is rough stuff. I’m starting to think there may have been a reason that I’ve been letting my previous manuscripts fester stew. Editing, it seems, is hard work. I began editing what was then known as Convocation the day I finished it–November 30th. Then, it was just over fifty-thousand terse words long, in ten [...]

Synchronicity

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Recently read this older story over at Strange Horizons, called “Relentlessly Mundane”. I found the subject matter haunting and thoughtful. Then, today, stumbled across this comic on XKCD. Apparently, I’m not the only one.

My Mother the Ghost

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Yet another beautiful story up at Fantasy, this one by Willow Fagan, called My Mother the Ghost. How can you not love a story that starts like this? I was eleven years old when I realized that my mother was a ghost. I can remember the exact moment of this realization, but I wish I [...]

Fantasy Magazine does it again

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

I feel like I don’t fully understand it, but Images of Anna by Nancy Kress is terrific. I’ve loved Kress ever since she had a completely sassy interview in The Writer’s Chronicle a year or so ago, but I’d never read her fiction. Exceeds expectations, feels important. Definitely worth a read.

Resting on His Self-Perceived Laurels, That’s What

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

I hadn’t heard of Douglas Coupland’s upcoming Generation A before, but now that I have, I can’t help but say, Doug, what are you doing? Because it feels relevant, I’m pasting a review I wrote in 2007 of Coupland’s similar 2007 venture, his “Microserfs for the iPod generation”, JPod. Warning: it’s long. It seems to [...]

Economy and Jealousy

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

I sold my car. I now have enough money to pay off my credit cards, put some in savings, and get married. I might write about cars tomorrow–a life history in four and six cylinders, what it means to be mobile. But right now, I’m pleased with my writing, and I wanted to share this: [...]

Submission Shouldn’t Entail Submission

Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized

Really nice rejection from GUD Magazine this morning, after the story in question was short-listed: Hi Phoebe It was a really hard decision to send this piece back to you as I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately I don’t have room for it in my issue. A lovely retelling, though. Best of luck with this [...]
