satisfiedAs far as muse food goes, it wasn't really much of a buffet. I got some good imagery from the MARTA station and the walk to the Rialto--skateboarders videotaping their stunts, a guy sitting on a step of the loooong escalator while chatting on the phone--but the film festival people watching wasn't all that inspiring. Alas.

Yay, a sale! A sale! I sold my dark little story, "In Suffering Lies Salvation," to
jinzi's awesome ezine, anaisdotmfk.com. I'm so glad this story is finally getting a good home. It's been dangling in a terrible limbo for years after being accepted for an anthology that got delayed and delayed and is now on indefinite hiatus. Whew. Finally, my "I can't sell a damn thing" streak has been broken. It's slated for a special issue due out, Lentish.I saw on the TTA discussion forum that Andy Cox has decided to rename his flagship magazine, The Third Alternative, to Black Static. He's not planning on doing any crossover titles or anything like that. Issue #42 was the last TTA, and the next one will have the new name. I dunno. I liked the old name, and more to the point, it was an institution in and of itself. I'm going to miss it. I'm sure I'll grow to love Black Static as much, but still, nostalgia and all . . .
