My science-fiction drug story, "Little M@tch Girl" is up at Escape Pod. There's a discussion about it on their discussion boards. Normally, I find discussions of my work terrifying and, often, upsetting, but this one (so far) isn't bothering me much. In fact, I'm pretty pleased with many of the comments. I know: I'm totally jinxing myself by saying that publicly. Still, seeing how other people interpret your work is like catnip to an author, and I just have to acknowledge a good trip.

In other news, I'm working on applying hand-written edits to my middle-grade novel, "Keaton T.: Junior Gene Hacker". It's taking me longer than I thought it would, but then it always does if I don't have an external deadline.

By the way, I have a new website: www.heathershaw.org. I'll be posting writing-related news and updates there, and that'll be the official link that will go on my bios in the future. If you see any errors, or have comments, feel free to drop me a friendly line about it.

For now, I'm going to keep both the journalscape and livejournal journals as places where I can post about more stuff than just writing, but we'll see. I have a feeling I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be :-)
