In Process: June 2021

Wind/Water/Salt  Chapters 29 -30:  Took up comments. It took hours! Which I guess is why I put it off for (checks notes) 8 months. How embarrassing.  Chapters 31-51:  Need to take up comments and revise.  Synopsis: Maybe I should post it for comments.  Persephone  (probably not its real name):  Short Stories:  Wrote one, edited one.   Critted  11  Got back  4  Submissions  0  Out there  0  Rejects  0 Knitting Ballet Wrap (IK Spring 2005).  Finished the right front and both sleeves, seamed and done!

I still need to make ties for it.

He's an editor at Slate, so that's probably how I heard of this book. I read a lot more on Slate before they limited me to a few articles a month at about the same time I lost my job, and now I'm just bitter.  The chapter on Akwesasne seemed really important, considering how Canada is dealing with repercussions ...
