Howdy howdy, squiders! How’s it going? We’re on spring break this week so all our routines are out of sync, joy of joys. (I did teach the small, mobile ones how to play ERS, Oh Hell, and Hearts, though. Essential
Moving On (And a Finished Draft)
Apologies, squiders. I started this hours ago but then got distracted by Ghost Hunters. Man, I love ghost hunting shows even though I don’t actually believe in ghosts. Oh well. So, as promised (or at least hoped for), I finished
Digging Back In
Have I told you guys about RaTs? It stands for Runaway Tales, and is a prompt system based on flavors. It’s a fairly big deal over at WriYe, so when I reconnected with the community at the beginning of 2019,
WriYe and Editing
Hey-ho, squiders. It’s that time of month again. March, in the spirit of NaNoEdMo (does that still exist? If not, it’s certainly left its mark), has an editing theme over at WriYe. (NaNoEdMo still has a website, but it doesn’t

Ill-advised Interludes
Ah, Squiders. I may be doing something very stupid, but I’m going to do it anyway and see how it turns out. You guys know I’ve been working on a rewrite for a while now. Well, I worked on getting
A Break from the Madness
Woo, I feel like this week’s gone at a breakneck pace, Squiders. Aside from getting The Short of It out, here’s what I’ve been up to: I’m in a musical! I think I’ve talked in the past about trying out
Performance Anxiety
Let’s take a breather from the submitting/publishing for a moment, squiders. I’m having a problem at the moment that I suspect a lot of other authors occasionally run into as well. I’m calling it performance anxiety for simplicity’s sake. You
