Wind/Water/Salt  Chapters 31-51: (Still)  Need to take up comments and revise.  Synopsis:  Maybe I should post it for comments.  Had a glimmering of what to do with Fairfax next.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): More new words in threads -- like scenes that connect together with other stuff around them, which is how this seems to want to be written.  Short Stories:  Yup, worked on one.  Critted  8  Got back   8  Posted something that got rejected by the rather specific market I wrote it for, so I don't know what to do with it; also got a crit on something minutes before I sent it to the library!  Submissions  0  Out there  0  Rejects  0 Knitting Anna Maria  (Faroe Island Knits).
