Well, squiders, I wrote most of a blog post yesterday, and it just wasn’t gelling. The longer it went on, the less sense I felt it was making. And then I got distracted by things and I never posted it,
Common Writing Mistakes: Wrong Audience
Good morning/afternoon cusp, squiders! I think this will be the last post in this series, and I’ll save the rest for the book. Also, it is cold and I forgot to put a coat on like an idiot. Today we’re
Getting Ready for MileHiCon
Killing two birds with one stone, Squiders. (I did not get my outlining done. I did, however, finally vacuum the basement. Nonfiction next week for sure, though.) I’m so not stressed about the con this year, which feels lovely. I

PPWC Session Wrap-up, Part 1
Good morning, Squiders. I’m back from PPWC, and now that I’ve gotten some sleep, I am vaguely functional again. I’ve gone to PPWC before, and I’ve done conference write-ups after the fact for all of them, so I thought I’d
