Well, it’s been about two months since I started my writing journal, and, as I know this is a recommended writing habit among writers, I thought it might help to hear how it’s going. I’ve talked about it quite a
WriYe and Getting Started
Oof, squiders, sorry I’m flaky this week. My basement has flooded TWICE in THREE DAYS. At least we’ve figured out the problem this time, as opposed to two days ago when we thought we’d figured the problem out and were
The Depths of Summer
Hey hey, squiders! Look I’m remembering to post twice this week. It’s a miracle! Or something. I’m actually feeling pretty good. Yes, this summer has been a bit of a mess in terms of, you know, productivity or consistency, but

Stories I’d Like to Write: Interlocking Lives

Stories I’d Like to Write: Dual Timelines
It’s summer, so time for a blog series, amirite? I am right. Because it’s my blog. So there. For this year’s series, I thought I’d focus on stories I’d like to write someday. Because writing, like anything else, is a
