Because, why do I continue to write if I am just going to give it away?

FICTION: Staccato and Fugue

~ Bon Steele ~ 5 Comments

I don’t know about you guys – but I sometimes say things like, “You are making me crazy!” or “I’m losing my grip!” Really, though – what is the process of losing your grip? Stephen King (in one of his stories, can’t recall which one) said that being crazy was often messy. It slopped over into your everyday life, touching everything. Which is, I believe, mostly correct. However, I also think that sometimes those signals can be subtle and easily missed.

The Honorable Bon

~ Bon Steele ~ 11 Comments

Back in August, I entered a writing contest. The prizes were donations to charitable organizations – a concept I could totally get behind. I sent along my soft science fiction short story “Flora, Not Fauna” to Bards and Sages Publishing.
On December 18th, I got notice that I was an Honorable Mention. I couldn’t say anything until they made the announcements, though. I’ve been sitting on this gnus! for a half month. You can imagine the flailing that has been happening. Kermie-dances galore, people.

The upshot?
I’m gonna be published in an anthology this summer! I’ll pause to allow the squee-ing to commence.1

The information that I have says that I may choose to have my “story included in our awards anthology, Bardic Tales and Sage Advice vol. 4,” – to which I say “Do people actually say ‘No’ to that question?”

I am, of course, encouraging you all to go and purchase 12 copies of this anthology.  😀

 

To say that I am completely bowled over and excited would be understating things. So, I will just say that I am honored to have been chosen. Thank you so very, very much.
