June books: 0/4 still (but I have played some video games)
The one things about the card story is that it takes a bit to do the pictures, which makes the blogging overall take just a little bit longer. Also, I’ve noticed that the my ratio of purple cards to yellow cards is not great, so I’m not sure what I’m going to do at that point.
Still just going wherever we feel like on any particular day.

In frustrating but not unsurprising news, I got an email from SkillShare yesterday saying they were stopping and reducing content in a few categories, including Writing & Publishing, and that they’d be removing 7 of my 8 classes as part of this. (The last class, my oldest, has always had 10x the students of any of my other classes, which I suspect is mostly driven by when it was put on the platform, before they started messing with discoverability and other logistics.)
SkillShare has been actively working toward removing all but the most successful teachers over the past few years, so, as I say, this is not a surprise, though my newest class is all of a month and a half old and hence hasn’t had time to really gain a lot of traction. I guess they got sick of driving people off by making it harder and harder to get paid and are just doing it straight out now.
So that’s yet another thing to have to deal with. Yay.
My two weeks of alone time starts Sunday afternoon, so I do need to spend some time over the next few days making sure I’m ready to go. I am not quite done with my short story project, so I’m not sure if I should finish them first, or just switch over to the new project I brainstormed at the writing retreat. Something to decided, oh, tomorrow.
Wish me luck, squiders. See you next week!
