Happy November, squiders! Hard to believe we’re here, isn’t it? Wasn’t it just summer? Hadn’t school just started? But now we’re in the HalloweenNanowrimoChristmas spiral, and there’s no escaping. (How was your Halloween? It’s been so cold and snowy here–everything’s
Fantasy Cartography
Happy Wednesday, squiders! It’s been cold and snowy here, so we’ve been trapped in the house for essentially three days. The small, mobile ones are sad because Halloween things keep getting cancelled or delayed. Nano starts tomorrow at midnight, and
