Well, Kit, you might ask, how is Nano going? It’s not going great, not going to lie. Oh, the story itself is fine. I’m a little over on word count vs. plot point, but I’m generally where I need to
Let’s Not Talk About That
Happy Election Day, squiders, I guess. Man, I’m exhausted from being anxious all the time and I wish I thought today would be the end of it. But that’s depressing, so let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about Nano!
A Roadblock for the Education Goal
Oh, wait, I was going to draw you a landsquid for today. Uhhh…hold on. Okay! Here we go! Hooray! It’s fall, it’s October, my FAVORITE, as I no doubt mention every year (August was the 10th anniversary of the blog,
Nanowrimo Comes Earlier Every Year

Let’s Look at the Hope’s Redemption
Happy Tuesdays, squiders! Nano continues apace. I’m keeping about a day ahead of where I’m supposed to be, which is actually a little slow, but we do what we can. Most of the story takes place on a ocean-faring vessel,
WriYe and NaNoWriMo
