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!
Working with the Real World
So! October has not been going the way I’d like it to, in terms of writing, mostly meaning that the Changeling story continues to limp on and not get finished. But, since the end of the month is a little
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,
