woohoo! found out today that two of my submissions have been shortlisted for inclusion in the upcoming asian-australian edition of meanjin. fingers crossed! one was an excerpt from my novel manuscript, and another was a short story called 'destiny'. the short story is 'faction', based on one of my standup routines - it's about a little indian girl who wants to grow up to be wonder woman. the excerpt from the novel is the same one i chose for my reading at the melbourne emerging writers festival. it's nice to know the folk at meanjin think my work worthy... anyway, seeing as a decision is imminent, this will give me something else to obsess about!
i'm thinking of re-designing this site. should i?
maybe a direct question will entice you to leave me a little comment at the end of this entry.
though... if past experience is anything to go by, a direct request may not be enticement enough...
oh, go on! leave me a note, dammit! i know you're out there, even if you did accidentally end up at this site by doing a search for nude indian girls!
