This week's cool news is that crowdfunding is featured in LiveJournal Spotlight. We have lined up a batch of interesting posts about different crowdfunding topics to entertain visitors coming to us from the LJ Home page. If you're interested in connecting creative people with their audience online, now is a good time to drop by and see what we're doing. So far, we have "Welcome, Spotlight Visitors!" from me, "On patronage" by the_vulture, and "Sharing a World for Fun ... and Profit" by ellenmillion.

Torn World writing update:
Approved as canon: "Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal," "On the Rocks," (fiction) "Rhubarb Song," (poetry).  Back to me for edits: "Cutting Time," "Scars of Stone" "Catch and Release," "Swept Away" (fiction), "Seafoam Fashions" (poetry).  Currently in front of the canon board:  nothing! Drafted: "Cutting Cords and Clasping Hands," "Like Ash Before the Wind," "Breaking the Ice," "From Dark to Bright," "Beached Fish," (fiction) and "The Hearsay Cafe," "The Colors of the Rainbow, "Colorless," "Red Glass, Green Glass," "Hide Away," "The Ibabesh Bridge," (poetry).  In revision at home: "Water Dance," "The Green Speech," "When the Wind's Teeth Sing," (fiction).  Currently writing: "Raining Kittens," "Catch of the Day," "Reaching for the Moons" (fiction)

Greenhaven: A Pagan Tradition website updates:
* Added article "Guides for the Urban Pagan."
* Revised the topic page for "Cooking Feasts" and the "Activities" section
* Moved How to Host a Potluck Feast" to its own subpage.
* Posted a brief summary of the July esbat in the Havenspeak blog.

There are four epic poems in microfunding: "Fiorenza and the Witch-Son" features Fiorenza the Italian herbalist musing about social roles and gender dynamics, at a time when there is NOT a major preternatural crisis going on. "Enki's Messengers" is essentially a sidebar to the Sumerian myth "The Descent of Inanna," focusing on the kurgarra and the galatur  created by Enki. "Igor's Creature" is a mix of horror and science fiction with a large helping of sociology and a wry twist of humor.  The epic poem "A Periodic Table of Elementals" is ahead of production.

The heatwave has kept me from doing much yardwork recently.  I did manage to trim and mulch around the white garden, and trim around the wagonwheel garden, and a few other things.  The first wave of blackberries is done, the second wave not quite ripe yet but showing color.  The morning glories in the barrel garden are blooming, although they're usually closed when I wake up.

I love morning glories, but I've never been able to grow them successfully. I think they must like it a bit warmer and drier than our climate can offer.
They're hit or miss for me, although wild ones grow all along the fields here. I haven't been able to get moonflowers to grow, alas.
