Petition update & Writing Process Blog Hop
So you may have gathered that I started a petition a week or two ago and sent an e-mail to Fiona Hyslop to try and engage with her about it while I gather signatures. Please have a look here and sign if you think it’s worth supporting. I only have two signatures so far, in…

Part 13 of Servant of the Siphen
I’ve updated Part 13 on the site now. It isn’t finished yet, but you can see it taking form. 🙂 Since yesterday I’ve been a bit more motivated to write. I think that having a supportive talk with someone in person has made a big difference! I’m going to need a beta or two to read Servant…

Goals: I’m still going to try for 2900 words this month, but it is going to be tough with all the other things going on. I’m resuming jobsearch after a period of several months in which I was recovering from depression. I’m going to want to shift my focus to Edinburgh, and the staff in…

A-Z Challenge post-mortem
So, I didn’t get through all of the A-Z posts by the end of the month. Being honest with you, I did spend quite a bit of the first couple of weeks worrying about money, something which is basically out of my control. Things are fine now but I’m late paying my bills and that’s…

The list – week ending Sunday 4 May 2014
Skipped last week’s list. I’ve been really tired. I added some ideas to the ideas page. Since they’re already out there as a comment on Kristen Lamb‘s blog, no need to hide them away. I added a Fanfic page and a fanfic ideas page. I added a combo page for The Maw of Despair with…
