Hi-ho, squiders, hope you’re doing well! I finally finished my readthrough today, and it has worked–I am ready and willing to dive into the madness that is revision (though I will admit, since I feel like the draft is in
Productive Procrastination
Happy Friday, squiders. Hope you’ve had a good week! So, I did end up writing that short story for the submission call, and I submitted it before the deadline (though I have not gotten a confirmation, and they say to
Getting Distracted
Hello, squiders! As you can see, I have survived the children. (I called one poor child the wrong name like three times, and this will haunt me forever.) I think it went decently! I do like talking about outlining, and

NaNoWriMo is No More (NaNoWriMoNoMo)
Howdy, squiders. I have survived the first weekend of my leadership training, and I got everything ready and dropped off at the consignment sale. Phew. Of course, now I need to get back into everything I neglected while I was
Too Easy
