First, before we get to anything else, can someone check and see if this last SkillShare class is actually live? I posted it, oh, last Friday, I think, and SkillShare wrote back that they’d hidden it because they felt the
False Sense of Security
Hey-ho, squiders. So far, January is going great! I’ve read three books (and have decent amounts read of 3 more), I beat three video games and moved two more into my “don’t bother” category (I tend to buy game bundles,
2024 Has Arrived
Hey ho, squiders, I hope one and all have survived the holidays and are now making the transition into normal life in a mostly successful manner. (I won my office’s Fantasy Football championship. That doesn’t have to do with anything
WriYe and Writing Years
Hey-o, squiders, I realized I haven’t done the WriYe blog prompts. Since March, actually. Whoops! Let’s fix that. April’s prompt: Your best writing year ever! I’m going to interpret this to mean “if you could have your best writing year

Okay, Let’s Get on the 2022 Train
Okay, okay. We’re three days away from 2022, so I guess we should act like it. (On a side note, I’ve checked out a laptop at the library, which, on one hand feels very neat, but on the other hand,
WriYe and the Year’s End
It’s that time of month again. And that time of year. Madness. Also, I talked about this over at Turtleduck Press earlier this week, but does anyone else feel like 2021 is a liminal year? Like, that it doesn’t really
Re-Evaluating Writing Goals
Well, guys, I’m back from camp, and, in theory, I can rev up my engines, or some metaphor that makes sense. Last week we talked about my writing journal and also how it’s July and my word for the year,
