Good news, squiders! I finally finished Chapter 9. Still a mystery as to why it took so very long, but hoorah. Started Chapter 10 today and have already made decent progress. Admittedly my notes for updating this chapter basically just
The Neverending Chapter Nine
(Which was Chapter 10 until I realized during my critique group meeting last week that I had, once again, misnumbered my chapters, since I took Chapter 6 out completely.) (I was commenting on one of the other members’ use of
It Comes!
It’s that time of year, squiders. I have received at least half a dozen emails this week about it. NaNoWriMo. It still is so so strange to me how commercial it has gotten over the last two decades. But never
Ah, September
Good evening, squiders. I don’t mean to be a mess but alas, I am. (Also, in the last 24 hours I’ve picked up a nasty cold, which I wish would not happen right before I have a couple of days

Onto June’s prompt! Moving right along. Be caught up in no time at all. June’s prompt: Non-writing hobbies that refill your creative well. At least this one is self explanatory! I definitely agree with having hobbies outside of writing, both
WriYe and Genre
Still playing catch-up, squiders! We’re doing May this week. May’s prompt: What genre scares you the most? So much interpretation on the prompts this year. Oh well! This one I’m going to say means what genre scares you the most
WriYe and Writing Years
Hey-o, squiders, I realized I haven’t done the WriYe blog prompts. Since March, actually. Whoops! Let’s fix that. April’s prompt: Your best writing year ever! I’m going to interpret this to mean “if you could have your best writing year
So Long, May
Holy crap, squiders. May was one disaster after another. (And it’s lingering–my grandmother is in the hospital and it could be really bad.) But, on the other hand, I actually sold two short stories. Hooray! Vindication! Now I only have
