No poem yet. As I commented somewhere else, my poetic muse seems to have up and moved without leaving a forwarding address.

OTOH, I am making some progress on my first couple chapter stories. Might end up as novellas. Can't see myself shooting for a novel yet. One is the one I ranted about a couple posts up. I wrote a whole new first chapter, changed one character into two to avoid a relationship becoming slightly icky, and am rewriting the original second chapter to fit with the changes in the first before moving on. And, yes, I tied up the loose ends around the house.

The other is the long-gestating sequel to my fantasy story Night of the Wind. Basically a new adventure with the same setting and characters that focusses more on Niomi Shen, a priestess and "witch" who figured prominently in the first story but was not maybe the "lead". There's a hidden monster, mysteries about the temple she serves, and maybe some love in the air. Given the popularity of "romantasy" I am having a running debate with myself about whether to bring an element of that in.
 
Got my annual attempt at a Halloween story going and, for the second year in a row, it looks like there will be one. Different from last year's fairly dark Lovecraftian horror. This one has a lighter touch and, more important, a cat (black, of course).:cat: A witch is involved, too, which almost goes without saying. It'll be fairly short, maybe even a Flash (<=1000 words).
