Happy Tuesday, squiders! Can you believe it’ll be July this week? I sure can’t! I thought, since we’re halfway through the year (holy crap) that it might be good to revisit my yearly goals and see if I’m making any
WriYe and the New Year
Once again, we’re doing WriYe (short for Writing Year, formerly NaNoWriYe in the ancient past of the aughts). This is…*counts on fingers*…year four since I came back at the beginning of 2019. Every month there is a blog post prompt,
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,
WriYe and 2021

Obligatory New Year’s Post 2021
Okay, I’ve gotten my act together and made goals for the year. I don’t really feel like going back over 2020 as a whole–I certainly made a lot of progress posts through the year, but it wasn’t all bad. I
Fizzling Out of 2020
Hey, squiders, can you believe this hellscape of a year ends tomorrow? Me either! I really mean it. I’m finding it really hard to process that, come Friday, we’ll be in 2021. All my writing groups are starting new challenges
Nano Aftermath
Happy December, everybody. It’s miserably cold here and snowed for approximately five seconds before it got bored, which, well, boo, I guess. December is here, and so Nano is over. I had 4,000 words to write yesterday, but they didn’t
2020 is Lasting Forever and Yet…
…and yet, nothing is getting done. Well, not nothing. But I think it feels like nothing, for a lot of people, because of the distortion in how time is passing. Since it feels like a hugely long time period, it
