It would've made sense to do a nanowrimo update halfway through the month rather than five days before December. But this isn't a normal nano run for me so it works, right? Right. And now, the update! I've probably made the most progress with Get Your Gun WIP. I finished outlining the prologue and started… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020 Update
NaNoWriMo 2020
Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo. Like a number of writers, I spent most of October deciding what story to dedicate the entire month of November to and came to a conclusion. Sort of. I don't usually strive for the Nano goal of writing a novel. It's a bit ambitious for me. So I… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020

Anime Expo Lite 2020
The pros of conventions going virtual: safer for individuals in the current environment, more special guests from across the globe who wouldn’t normally be able to attend, not as many overlapping panels to worry about missing, etc. Cons: forgetting about said event for one reason or another. This particular reason being my sister and I… Continue reading Anime Expo Lite 2020

Something that makes me happy when reading Chihiro Ishizuka's Flying Witch, besides all of it, is how the familiars have hobbies and interests outside of their work serving as witches' familiars. Ororu working in real estate and showing animals uninhabited territory for them to claim. Kenny being an anthropology buff and traveling to do research… Continue reading 1:14 a.m.
