I'm starting coverage of a new book today, about how queer the Old West actually was and how that got hidden. At this point--thanks to my retirement work-schedule--I'm keeping my blog buffer full enough that I can commit to posting something every day for Pride month, just as I did when I kicked off the Project back in 2014. Well, actually, in 2014 I started posting on June 9, so I didn't actually post every day that month. I think maybe I did the whole month in some other year?
2014??? I've been doing the Lesbian Historic Motif Project for over a decade! I think last year I only noticed that well after the anniversary had passed, so I didn't do anything special. I like celebrating significant numbers, but I'm not so good about noticing when they happen.
On the fiction side, I've revised the first 4 (of 7) stories for Skin-singer: Tales of the Kaltaoven and am feeling quite confident about the project. I'm also noticing that I'd done at least one previous revision pass. Well, there's always something more to improve. It really is proving that what I needed wasn't so much time as the mental energy to get back to the fiction writing.
