I've been scarce around this website. So I want to fill you in.
("You." The person who has kept circling back to this blog since 2016 or so, which was when I stopped posting. Thanks for sticking with us.)
I've been working on a compilation of very short fiction or fictionesque pieces that I'm titling Melancholic Parables. No idea when or if it'll ever see publication, but... But.
There are ninety-one parables in the collection, and some might stand alone as stories. So I've swatted them on their asses and shooed them out of the house. They're outside now, standing alone.
"Go—make your fortunes—come home triumphant!"
Three of them have indeed made fortunes for themselves in literary journals. One in Sonder Midwest, two in Rue Scribe.
The rest are still hanging around. Lurking, you might say.
But if I can get any more published, I'll keep you posted. (I'll keep "you" posted. Whomever I imagine "you" to be.)
I was away from fiction for a long time. In Tokyo, I only had time for music. Since coming to Malaysia, I've been writing again. I'm glad to be back at it.
