Well, we have finally made it to the end of this weird year, and that’s saying something, all things considered. We’re still in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, obviously, but we managed to make it through a momentous election, too. Between Biden’s win and the...

November went more or less as expected. I didn’t write at all the first week, with the election going on (was that really only a month ago?!), and afterward, I struggled with rewriting the first chapter of BLOOD OF SALT, TEARS OF PEARL, but I eventually got all the...

May was another month of mostly not-writing. Homeschooling took up most of my time, and when I wasn’t doing that, I was playing Animal Crossing or Elder Scrolls Online. I did manage to do some non-writing work that doesn’t amount to a word count, but it was progress...

Writing: Like most people around the world, I got nothing done last month. I’ve transitioned to full-time homeschooling, and I don’t have the time or energy for anything else. This will be brief! Word Counts in April: Blog/Newsletter: 1452 Cartridges & Catacombs:...

Writing: I finished my book! Woohoo! Last month, I made one, final concentrated effort to finish my dang book, after taking at least six months longer (and 100,000 more words) than I expected, and I finally finished it (on March 20th, to be exact, which was the day I...
