Emotions 365: The Island Paradise Lust, the Capitol Urges

Vines unfurl enormous blossoms laden with sweet dripping fruit on the island paradise Lust. Vibrant fish dart in turquoise water. Denizens walk through shallow waters imprinting pink sands. Birds with iridescent wings whirl over the ocean. Doves coo in the jungle. The warm air and warm rains require little clothing and shelter. In the volcanic season, waterfall pools sizzle and steam. The stones in the rainforest river turn purple, blue and green. Orchids and oranges grow deep and full. Visitors come to the shores of Lust to fuck. 

Deep in the rainforest beneath the waterfall those overcome by Lust live in caves. They orgy by the light of luminescent moths, bats, and fishes. In the dense jungle lies the capitol city Urges. 

“It’s a hodgepodge city of varying architecture and poor design,” says the Guide. 

Some streets lead to pleasant places or monuments, but many end nowhere. Many statues, fountains, buildings, and gardens are half-built. Someone started a project and then lost interest. The libraries shelve half-finished novels. Children roam the streets crying, “Candy! Candy!” The candy factories churn out cheap sugar confections from the plentiful growing Lust cane. Leaders come and go: voted in and cast out. Denizens argue vehemently a meeting, but then never return. They move to the other side of the island or spend months in a cave eating bon-bons unaware.

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.
