I neglected to mention this before, but a little while ago a wrote a short “prose poem” specifically for Jetse de Vries’ Twitter project, Outshine. Apparently he liked it, because he offered me money for it. It’s only 14 words, but with the payment that comes out to more than 35 cents per word and that’s the highest I’m likely to ever be paid for a piece of short fiction.

I’m not sure when it will appear, but I will link to it when it does.

I find the whole concept of Twitter “fiction” fascinating, as well as other nano-forms, and I like what Jetse’s been doing.

I may have to put something together for his Shine anthology, too, now…

As some may have noticed, I will no longer be having my Twitter feed show up as posts. The main reason for this is that it simply bugged me. When I looked at the site, it looked like it was just a list of my Twitter ramblings and for that people could just read my Twitter page. Additionally, I didn’t want all of my content to be in that form. It’s there for people who use it (or are interested). I use this for longer form expressions and that’s the way I want to keep it.

No one asked me to do this, it was simply time to change things.

This will hopefully be accompanied by an increase in posts here, but more on that to come shortly.

After about a week of trying to get things together, FermentedAdventures.com is now live. It’s not exactly how I planned it (I’m crap at dealing with WordPress Themes), but it’s simple and that’s okay.

Thanks to Allyson for designing the logo. I would have been lost without her.

If you have an interest in wine and beer, please check it out. I’ll be catching up with some old posts there in the next few weeks and then onto new adventures.

So some of you already know that I’m working on setting up a new blog to focus on my alcohol-related adventures. Unfortunately, though I have almost everything in place, I’ve had difficulty getting it to look exactly how I wanted and my skills with WordPress and CSS are sadly lacking.

But I hope to make headway this week and possibly weekend so expect an official announcement (where I can point people there) soon.

In the meantime, I hope to post more here, too, and maybe take down my Twitter feed. I get sick of seeing my front page covered in that untidy scrawl.

[None of this is a joke]

• Sometimes reality doesn’t seem that real to me… #
• @mythopoetica Zeppelins are always awesome. Never forget that. #
• Just saw a homeless guy dig something the size of a pen cap out of his nose. I think. #
• I feel a few hairs away from pulling back from writing from a while. The scene as well. It can be very wearying. #
• Is it time to abandon multiple emails to avoid spammers? I feel like having one place to view everything might be the best solution now #
