It's nice to know my family is cheering for me!

I send my Clarion stories to my husband and child as I complete them. They really liked the current one, "The Futurist". It concerns F.T. Marinetti's bizarre artistic and literary movement of the early 20th century, Futurism.

It's very different from most of the stuff I write, as it has quite a dark, emo tone to it. The fact that they like it so much, of course, makes me instantly deeply, deeply anxious that all the stuff I write that isn't dark and emo is crap.

Sigh.
