Er komt een Edge ZERO Halloween-bundel en mijn horror-verhaaltje Pompoenen komt erin. Eigelijk wel verrassend... geen SF-element, eerlijk gezegd. Maar ik ben er wel trots op!

Clearly this isn't an easy time to have a proudly queer children's series, but at the same time that makes it more necessary than ever.

Finished @wiswell.bsky.social's book 'Someone you can Build a Nest in'. Really enjoyed it, would recommend! It seems to have achieved everything it set out to do, which must not have been easy considering the main character. 🖤

Now on to read The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com !
The cover of the book. Two creatures stand on a road limned by trees, shrubs and funghi. They are approaching a town, seen off in the distance. The feeling is late medieval.

Got my first rejection, or rather: the absence of a message after the judging date went by and finalists were selected.

Rather than a defeat it feels as if it opens up possibilities. To quote that one Magic the Gathering card: "When nothing remains, everything is equally possible."

On to the next!
A Magic the Gathering card. Black borders with shimmering black and silver foundation. Fields in white (bone, eggshell and other off-white colors) with text on top of it. The card name is One with Nothing. It's an Instant. The design of the card is by Jim Nelson, I believe. The illustration is bright pinks on top of blacks and dark blues. A man, bearded, East Asian, old, bald, stares ahead of him while three glowing pink orbs, each as big as his head, float around him like ball lightnings, connected by visual energy to his head.
