Poetry Fishbowl Collections

I finally finished formatting the Poetry Fishbowl collections that have been requested as perks by my k-fans.

Series Collections:
Frankenstein's Family -- 185 pages (37,695 words)
The Origami Mage -- 40 pages (4,099 words)
Path of the Paladins -- 247 pages (52,053 words)
The Steamsmith -- 125 pages (24,905 words)

Whole Fishbowl:
January-June -- 501 pages (89,415 words)
July-December -- 500 pages (97,134 words)
Full Year -- 1001 pages (186,549 words) 

Based on SFWA length ranges, Path of the Paladins is equivalent to a novel, Frankenstein's Family and The Steamsmith novellas, and The Origami Mage a short story.  The year's output for the fishbowl as a whole approximates 4.7 40k novels.  I had no idea that I'd written that much.

I started trying to print them.  I got The Steamsmith done, but during Frankenstein's Family the printer jammed for reasons unbeknownst to me other than technology hates me and I was sitting near it.  0_o  Hopefully it can be convinced to run again later.  Anyway, that's what I've been busy with.  Yay.  Yay.  Progress.

    Today is sunny, muggy, and quite warm. I fed the birds. I've seen house finches, doves, and a male rose-breasted grosbeak. :D I picked half a bag…

If OrigamiMage is complete, I would love and eBook or paper collection. Same for any series... But I do not think the others are complete.

Thank you!

At present, these are k-fan perks. With The Origami Mage complete, I would like to get it into manuscript form and submit it for publication.

As you said, the others are not complete yet. Path of the Paladins is completable, though -- it has a specific storyline, and over the next year I would like to work on advancing the plot there.

Possible answer to machine problems

It occurs to me: if your energy is rather like the energy of jade, that may be the problem. Jade's protective influence is because it interferes with spirits which are not of Earth's Nature (thus blocking spirits of alien, made-thing, and other such natures).

I know that part of it is just really strong electromagnetism. Strong enough to wipe disks and crash computers on occasion. Strong enough to command a storm ball from an eighth of an inch away rather than requiring skin contact. Strong enough that a static spark can build up enough charge to cause contact burns. That sort of thing. Plus the outright magic.

That'll do it. I knew a singer in high school with a strong EM field; she kept blowing out body mics when she wore them for plays and choir presentations. In my case, it's usually magic and not a surge of bodily energy that blows out the occasional light bulb or blows a fuse.
