Emotion 365: The Land of Aggressiveness, the Capitol Anticipation

Yellow boulders line Aggressiveness. Cracked earth splits the sandy red ground. Ribbons of shallow river drift into rocks. Thorny shrubs slice passing skin. Rain pounds. Snow flurries. Snow presses into the rocks, slicks, and melts into the river. Aggressiveness has two seasons. In summer, the heat weighs down travelers. In winter, cold wind blows through every layer of clothing. Travelers get lost in the Aggressive canyon. Later, their bones bleach white.

On the edge of Aggressiveness, lies the rock city Anticipation. People cliff jump from Anticipation gliding down into Aggressiveness. They teeter on the cliff, then run and leap into the living wind, which captures them and steers them to a soft or hard land. They land in unexpected places.

"Everyone is welcome in Anticipation," says the Guide. "The spiral spire is a place of holidays and new beginnings."

"There are rooms, mazes, and libraries," says Miss Doe Friend. "So much to discover. I never tired of it,  despite its red dusty atmosphere."

"No one has answers, only questions," says Miss Emeline Traveler.

There rooms filled with maps and tapestries depicting historic events.

"I loved the city, but disliked the long trek through Aggressiveness to get here," said Miss Doe Friend. "I later learned some visitors arrive by parachute or rafting through the underground river, but Emeline must have had good reason for declining those routes. We left by air balloon, as most do. They light the skies at night, lifting off and floating away to other lands in search of other cities with more to offer."

Thoughts on "Depression Hates a Moving Target": What I Mean by Relatable

Relatable — I used this word in my reviews of Depression Hates a Moving Target   by Nita Sweeney on Goodreads and Amazon . It's a nice word, but overused of late. So, it feels lazy. What do I mean? I connected with this book. It made me reflect more on my own first marathon experience. It made me want to put on my running shoes and head out the door again. In fact, I did. Now, typically, my mental health doesn't hinder my ability to do the stuff I want to do and my body flies under the radar. Still, I also felt goofy stepping out in my running gear a lot of the time. I didn't see myself as a "runner" or an athlete. And, I had no idea if I could run 13 miles let alone 26.2 when I started. More to the point, could I stay moving for the 4+ hours straight it would take to complete the marathon? To do the training mileage, I knew I'd have to run through streets and trails on my own and that made me nervous, too. Waves of grief wash us to strange shores. Whe...

What is Solarpunk? Good question, great answers from our community

What is solarpunk? My fellow Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers authors Commando Jugendstil and Tales from The EV Studio put together this video for the Turin International Book Fair . It features editors and authors from the solarpunk community sharing their thoughts. Together we're imagining optimistic futures based on renewable energy. My soundbite was: "Solarpunk futures are — green spaces with clean water that are pedestrian, collective, feminist, creative communities. And they include non-human animals. " Mary "solarpunk" Shelley cat did a great job (at 6:15) helping from her rather ridiculous cat tree which she absolutely loves. And what better time to wear this solar-colored "Veganism is Feminism" tee from The Herbivore Clothing Company . Seriously. I'm holding a stack of solarpunk books: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers  edited by Sarena Ulibarri which includes my story "Watch Out, Red Crusher!".  Wings of R...

Springy story review: "State Change" by Ken Liu

Why it springs to mind:  You'll never look at an ice cube the same way again. Where read: In the 2014 Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine , August. Length: 5,194 words Summary: A woman has an ice cube for a soul. Memorable: How the story invites us to think about the shape of our soul, how it (or our perception of it) influences us and how it changes. What ordinary every day object would your soul be? A silver spoon, a beech stick? A great party conversation starter, this. Quote:  “All life is an experiment." Notable:  The protagonist Rina is an avid reader (always a good choice). Pairs well with: T.S. Elliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay Origin:  The story was written in 24 hours based on a writing prompt. (See Author Spotlight: Ken Liu ) About the author: Ken Liu’s debut novel, The Grace of Kings , the first in a fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, is due out from Saga Press ( a new Simon & Schuster imprint ) in 2015.
