Books Read for June: 2/9 (The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 and Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old) (Still in the middle of 3 books, and doing that thing where I’m reading a little bit of
Morning Pages Four Days In (Also Submission is a Drag and Comparison is the Theft of Joy)
Afternoon, squiders. I have written in all sorts of new places this week. (Well, done writing-adjacent things. Submitted queries. Wrote this and Tuesday’s blog posts. Did my critiques for the marathon. No actual writing.) Right now I am at a
Writing Retreat Aftermath, Revision Thoughts, and Morning Pages
Happy Tuesday, squiders! I can’t believe it’s already June. Holy crapola. (Also, I did my book tracker for the month this morning, and I need to read nine books this month to be on track, so that’s a problem.) (I
Writing Retreat Ahoy
(Nautical joke, to go with World’s Edge’s setting.) Well, squiders, I’m off to my writing retreat tomorrow. I am mostly excited–I got a ton done last year, and it was relaxing, and I did yoga and walked the labyrinth and

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
Help, I’ve Been Asked to Talk to Children
Hidey-ho, squiders. Happy Thursday. I wrote 7K over the last week on side scenes (and also rewriting the climax, which still isn’t quite working, but it is better–but also I don’t tend to revise out of order and probably when
Distracted by the Very Thing I’m Supposed to be Working On
Howdy, squiders! I wish I could say I took a well-deserved and organized break while I waited for my critique group, but really I got nothing done at all, so alas. Oh well. On we traipse, through the mud. But
