Reading: Books to review, and finishing up Millions of Suns. I also dipped back into The Anti-Planner by Dani Donovan to find some exercises to improve my motivation. Watching: We finished Agatha All Along (which was amazing, start to finish), but other than that, we’ve mostly been watching K-pop stuff. We are going to see Nosferatu later today as […]

It’s the time of year when folks start posting lists of their stories and books from the past year that are eligible for award nominations, like the Nebulas, Hugos, and more. I’m including word count, because different awards require different word counts, and it’s easy for me to grab those so you don’t have to […]

Reading: Still working through Millions of Suns, along with doing some anthropology reading for a character I’m playing in a new game. Watching: We watched the entirety of Dead Boy Detectives, and I’m a little bummed that it didn’t do well enough to warrant a second season, because I adored it. We’ve also been watching Agatha All Along […]

Catherine Tavares posted her recap of what she attended at Flights of Foundry immediately after the convention. I took a little longer to collect some of my thoughts and notes, but I hope you enjoy! I’m going to have to do mine in chunks by day, so this post just covers the Friday (day 1) […]

Reading: Books to review, along with my current craft book, Millions of Suns by M.C. Benner Dixon and Sharon Fagan McDermott. Each of the two authors has an essay before the exercise for each chapter, and they’re all wonderful essays combined with stories from their lives, thus far! Watching: While we were sick, we finished season […]
