Kore Crafts is open for business.

And lo! I have an Etsy shop.
Eeee.... that totally just gave me a seizure. Weird, emotional blow.
Anyway...
I'm a little anxious, because hey, this is my first time doing this, and I worry I've screwed everything up even before I started. I feel like everything's just slapped together (like my banner, ugh, I hate having to do text in Photoshop.) But I figure I can tweak things as I go.
So just one thing to start with, but I'll keep listing one new piece a day.

Any other Etsy-ers out there? If you want to give me tips, feel free!

More pimping (not of myself...mostly)

My roommate, Chelsea, is on Amazon!
She squees here.
Go preorder it! Why should you? What is this marvelous book? Find out here!


Also, Other Roommate, Keffy, has had a great month. His story about a zombie in washing machine is in Sybil's Garage right now, go get it while you can!

AND

Jay Lake is having flash fiction contest using my photo from the estuary as an inspiration. I get to inspire people! There's lots of great entries already. Go read and enter yourself!

Holy smokes, I'm worn out. This calls for going to bed early with a book.

Important note to self

On seizure-riffic days, don't read seizure-riffic books like Dhalgren.

Great. Now I have to find something to read that's not going to take my mind to strange, liminal places.
