My short story Six Bullets was accepted for the 2012 Forward Motion Anthology. The theme was to use a princess, a boatman, and a lizard. So, me being me, I had the princess enlist in the military at the rank of boatsman (which was like a private) and was chased by soldiers known as Screaming Lizards, for their tattoos. Look for the anthology in November. I’ll make an announcement here, since dates can get pushed bac.

Congratulations, Linda! That’s awesome news. BTW, I was intrigued by your comment about worldbuilding over at TalkToYoUniverse, and would love to do a post to address your question, but I wanted to ask you to clarify what you meant about being “not detail-oriented.” Could you reply back to me, and maybe tell me what you meant, and what part of the writing process you find most inspiring? I think that could help me respond more thoroughly and effectively.
Thanks!

Juliette, looks like this popped over to my spam filter. Thanks for stopping by (since I already answered the question on your post).
