It’s been one year since I fled Tumblr after it was hit by the Pornocalypse. I still miss the daily interaction, but I also don’t regret my decision to slow down and concentrate on writing. It was about as difficult a transition as I had expected, that is, not very. Only a handful of people visit this blog, but I enjoy composing for them and I’m happy with the feedback. Time for a tumbler (heh) of Oban 14 and some reflection.
The sub-topics for CruelJan20 have been compiled and are now available for you to vote on (whoever submitted “1000-word limit” is a true fiend). The Size Riot authors are standing ready to inflict your choice of cruel fate upon unsuspecting victims. Voting ends on December 22. Vote and sleep well.

Aborigen has put out a poll asking for first impressions on the 35 writers who have submitted three or more stories to Size Riot, a category which includes me. He neglects to say whether he will share the results with anyone, but I expect it will be a useful exercise nonetheless. If you have any thoughts to share, please give it a go.
Solomon G of There She Grows has a lengthy interview with Jitensha, comic artist and founder of SizeCon. Jit is wonderful, as always.
January is always Cruel at Size Riot, but now they’re adding a sub-topic for some variety and challenge. You have until December 14 to nominate a topic for CruelJan20, as many as you like. After the nominations have been compiled, you will have until December 21 to vote for your favorite topic.
Consider carefully! The fate of many innocent victims hangs in the balance.

My Cocktober19 entry. Author Notes at bottom.
Lacey was almost home when she got the text from her boyfriend, Will. Got a package from Grandma, he texted. He meant Lacey had received a parcel from her grandmother; Will hardly got any mail. Leave it in the kitchen for me, she replied. Will do! She hadn’t quite gotten tired of that response yet.
The results of the evaluations for Cocktober19 have been posted! Thank you to everyone who read and submitted evaluations (particularly the feedback)!
Congratulations to J.M. Wilde for their well-deserved winning entry, “She’s The “Limit”!
