Emotion 365: The Land of New, the Capitol Student

The rocky inclines of New attract hikers and climbers. Further down the slopes, flowers blossom in green fields. Fruits bud in the orchard. The joyful, fertile, dew-covered land looks fresh and vital, but produces nothing. Newtonians ask many questions of travelers. They are not explorers in body, but in mind. They know little of other places. Newtonians do not need to eat or drink much as they are fed by living energy within New. 

“Travelers will be disappointed in Newtonian cuisine,” writes Miss Emeline Traveler. 

When Newtonians leave New their cocoons break. They shed their New skin and appear in fresh skin. They leave their old skin behind. 

Visitors come to new to begin again. They dive into the pond that leads to New and enter through the underground tunnel. They swim ashore in Open and from there take the road to New. Few stay in New for long. They become hungry and thirsty. New nourishes visitors briefly. 

The towers of the capitol city Student rise at the top of a series of peaks. Bridges cross the rivers and valleys of New. Students mine goods from the mountains. They plant trees on the slopes to keep the soil firm. The fruitful land brings wealth to those who visit. Visitors keep what they mine from Student throughout their lives and carry what they have gained with them to other lands. It often rains. The guides wear saffron colored hoods and boots and offer umbrellas and assistance. 

“See there, across the bridge, a promising color of stone!” says a Guide. 

“Be careful! The slopes are steep,” warns another. 

“Slide! Slide!” a Guide shouts at Miss Doe Friend. 

“Expect to slide a few times along the way,” writes Miss Emeline Traveler. “Slide and return. Slide and return. Persist and carry the fruits of Student away with you.”

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.
