My boss, hard at work
Music
Dark Prairie Atmospherics Collective Vol. 2 continues
Slowly, oh so slowly, this is getting pieced together. I hope by Autumn we'll have some spooky sounds to accompany the season.
Other Music News
I may be putting something together this weekend for release later this month!
Writing
A Submission
I have a submission I am pretty proud of sitting in the queue, I will know whether it cuts the mustard in a few months (probably more, the place I submitted to gets a lot of quality stuff). I think this has a better shot than other pieces I've lobbed at them due to the nature of the piece (something fictional but done as non-fiction if that makes sense.) I can't wait for people to read it whether it gets accepted or not.
More writing
There is a project I started in mid-May that I am working on that will be a short (maybe a dozen flash pieces) collection that uses music as the impetus. I am aiming to complete this by the end of the Summer, time permitting, with the aim of self-publishing it at the end of the year.
Olde Wyathscope's Quarterly Concern
Year 1 has now been sent to all of the subscribers, and I couldn't be more pleased with the response this has gotten. I am truly indebted to Mat Fitzsimmons for his hard work and patience with me as we got this weird thing assembled, printed and sent. Sending them in the mail was truly a rewarding bit of business for me, and hearing from readers who got what I was going for was incredibly satisfying. And a huge thanks as well to Nick Vasi and Mike Cavagnaro who have been good friends and encouraging of the weirdness that I put out there.
Issues from year 1 are available individually or bundled - if you want them, info is at http://oldewyathscope.blogspot.com (and if you're on this email list, I will cut you a deal)
Year 2 is completely written and I want to share a little bit of what is in store for Year 2
New voices
I have managed to secure some pieces by other folks for Year 2, and I think readers will be happy to see some unfamiliar faces delivering some truly out there content!
New features
Some new features are coming which I am very excited by - Correspondence, Opinion pieces, Poetry features, and more!
My plan for Year 2 is to go a different route with subscriptions and getting content out to people. I don't know what form this is going to take quite yet, and I won't make a final decision until the content is ready to go - but I am hopeful that what I have planned will net more readers while not costing those readers more money.
I will also be striving for a balance between written content available electronically, while making available deluxe, illustrated, bespoke physical copies with content unique to those editions.
Magic Rabbit Press works coming soon!
Sooner rather than later, I hope to start putting up for sale copies of Frayed Black Ribbon and Tattered Yellow Knots and the Magic Rabbit Press Annual 1. When they are printed and in hand I will post purchasing info!
If you care to join my email list (where you get updates like this, with additional information and bonus content), drop me a line!
Thank you for your support!
