June books: 4/9 (The Ministry of Time and The Curious Kitten at the Chibineko Kitchen) It’s Friday, squiders. Unlike many people, I am not a Yay Weekend person; weekends tend to be stuffed full of activities and not terribly relaxing,

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
