Emotion 365: The Land of Silly, the Capitol Frivolous

Perfect for sailing, the Silly chain of small islands attracts many visitors. Inhabitants row across the calm sea to the islands or walk over on the high arching bridges which connect them. The boats and bridges have glass bottoms. They look down onto schools of colorful fish. Fruited palm trees drop mangoes and dragonfruit. Tiny palaces made of gemstones dot the land and everyone wears tiaras. Flocks of colorful birds whirl overhead.

“We’re island hoppers!” the Guide explains.

Lemurs, storks, and kangaroo live here.

Gemstones lie in the shallows waiting to be gathered next to starfish. The night-blooming lavender bushes scent the skies bright with stars.

 “One can wish upon the stars!” visitors exclaims.

“And the wishes come true,” Miss Emeline Traveler whispers.

On an island lives the Palace Frivolous, made of soft malleable gems, inhabited by bird avian-sapiens with fluffy feathered wings. They Frivolians fly over the islands, distinguishable from other storks and cranes because of the rainbow shimmer of their underwings. They have long pointed beaks and like to wear tall cone caps.

"Tilt their heads to the side and glare at you with their tiny onyx eyes, certain you do not understand their jokes," says Miss Doe Friend.

They drink nectar which flows from a tower of gems. A different flavor of nectar drips from each pillar placed throughout the Frivolous Palace.

"The nectars are somewhat intoxicating," says Miss Doe Friend. "And are all the nourishment the Frivolians need. We greatly enjoyed our time with these beautiful and preening people. I loved to watch them dive below into the shallows around the island shores and pluck gems from the water which they use to build their palaces and feeding pillars. They make beautiful trilling noises as they do so. We did not stay as long as we would have liked as we hungered for something other than the Silly nectar."

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.
