Green Man Recreated

That's right, I'm using the Green Man icon again!

I'm back, and better than ever and...

Anywho.

Green Man Enviroscaping LLC is still shut down, but the web domain that bore it's (abbreviated) name, greenmanenvy.com, and the associated blog on Blogger and page on Facebook have now been repurposed as "Green Man Envy: Natural News and Mythical Meanderings".

I've got a few posts on the blog (which really drives the site and the page at this time, if not in perpetuity) that reflect the new direction. The old company related content is going to remain there ~ some of it, like the articles and PSAs, are going to continue being featured. The site will mix that sort of home landscape and nature articles with some fiction, poetry, and art.

Although it might take me awhile to get it up and running, I'd like to offer content from others on the site... maybe someday to even make it a viable market (i.e. where writers get paid). But right now, it's just a blog...

Anywho, an RSS feed is available for those so inclined (that's how the content gets from the blog to the site), and I'd like to encourage everyone (on Facebook) to like the page, and those who use Blogger to follow it there, and so on and so forth.

Writing Updatia

A measly 1,000 words on The Sky Galleons of Mediolanum, bringing it just short of the lower end of the target 4,000-6,000. Of course, it needs to have been in editing a while ago, but it's there now. I'll start in on the second draft (!) while Justin goes over it to see what he thinks. There's a number of parts that need some expansion, which should easily get me into the zone count-wise. I was worried about finishing it under the 6k, and I still am. It could easily go bigger, so I'll have to be careful.

No progress on anything else writing-wise, although I did get the Green Man Envy site converted over to more of a writing-related purpose.

I received a rejection on my poem "fey", but I might see if there's another market for it. Another poem will be appearing on Green Man Envy tomorrow, so stay tuned!

There's a couple of days left on the 20% off sale over at Lulu, where you can get my short story collection Cautionary Fables: Warts & All, at my Author Spotlight. Grab the code off the main page ~ the first link ~ then go to the second link to order the e-Book and paperback. The sale ends on Friday, so act now! (Please!? =)
