Last week I laid out my tentative plans for the month. As we discussed, December’s always a bit of a pit for me, creatively-speaking. Too much other things to focus on, burnout from November in one way or another, a
The December Blues
First of all, I apologize for this not going up yesterday. We had an area-wide Internet outage that lasted for eight hours. I may have gone a bit stir-crazy, because of course everything I needed to be working on required
I Won NaNoWriMo!
Happy Friday, squiders. Best of luck to you if you’re in the States and braving the stores like a crazy person. (I did mine online, since most stores offer the same deals online as in store, and then I just
Meet the Crew of the Hope’s Redemption
I made a huge mistake, squiders. I was like, oh, well, we’ve talked about the ship, and we’ve talked about the world, so maybe we should talk about the characters! And I should find pictures of the characters, so everyone
I Wrote 9000 Words This Weekend

IT HAS BEGUN
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
I’ve Been Busy!
Sorry for the single post this week, squiders, but it’s for good reason! The first books for the Writers’ Motivation series are out! And despite the many technical issues, I also got my new SkillShare class up and published. It’s
