Proud of my Seabee

Writing

Got a rewrite request on a novella, so that ought to get me back in the writing mode, thank goodness.

Also, you are now looking at the newest Poetry Editor for The Sword Review. So start sending me some good poetry to read, already!

BTW, the editorial position has nothing to do with the faith-based pro-military writing opportunity I spoke of earlier. Still working out the details on that.

Everything Else

"Seabees Rebuilding Iraq " on Google Video
Have you seen the pictures coming out of Iraq lately? If that question brings images of Abu Ghraib prison to mind, that's because the mainstream media sucks! The fact is that tons of good work is being done every day in Iraq but you'd never know it watching the nightly news. This is what my husband does. I am SO proud of him! Hoo-rah!

Interesting thing #32: I can whistle the entire theme song from "G-Force." At least, that's what it was called when it was on back in the 70's on Saturday mornings. I think most people know it now as "Battle of the Planets." I know, you're all so jealous. Heh.

So... what kind of poetry? I know, I'm being lazy, but what's the short answer before I do research?

D'oh. It's Monica. Sorry!

Here's the link. PG-13, a genre element is preferable, and nothing blatantly opposed to traditional Christian values. This isn't the place for homo-erotic poetry, for instance. But the poem doesn't have to be Christian or even religious in nature - straight sf/f/h (not too gruesome) will work, too.
