(Which was Chapter 10 until I realized during my critique group meeting last week that I had, once again, misnumbered my chapters, since I took Chapter 6 out completely.) (I was commenting on one of the other members’ use of
WriYe and Giving Up
Howdy howdy, squiders. Let’s continue with our catch-up, shall we? July’s prompt is: When to give up on a novel/story. Do you ever? The short answer is: yes. Yes, I do. But I really, really don’t like to. Since I
Summer Media Thoughts
I’m starting to feel like a broken record (the revision is going well! I’m getting so much great feedback! Some natural disaster came along and tried to kill me!) so let’s talk about something else for a minute. Reading I’m

Hello hello, squiders! I hope you’re doing well! I’m doing a month’s worth of work on a project in a week, so that’s good times. (I did, however, sign up for Camp Nano, and, fingers crossed, I shouldn’t have anything
WriYe and Rewriting
Hi, squiders. Sorry for the long time, no see–I was on a trip, and normally I schedule posts for when I’m gone, but it just didn’t happen this time around. (The trip also had a surprisingly little amount of downtime,
Ha…ha?
Executive dysfunction is no joke, my friends, and I swear it’s getting worse the older I get–or maybe it’s just manifesting in more annoying ways. ANYWAY I finished my revision plan last week, like I was planning to. Monday I
