Later being when I self-pub the series! I am still chipping away at editing the first book in the series, and I'd like to put out a call for beta readers in January! So! Those are the updates. Hope ya'll are well, and thanks for reading! <3

I will probably write the whole thing out before posting any of it, just to make sure all the pieces are in the right places. It might end up being as long as Mushroom Picking Season? It's really an awkward size...as in too long...but I think the issue of packaging + grouping will come later.

Look forward to chapters from that starting this weekend! That does not, however, mean that I'm neglecting Niv and Yule. I'm working on the last "short story" that comes before the third and final volume of that series and...boy, it's a doozy. 15k atm, and I have no idea how many it'll end with.

New story alert! Ish.

So, I learned about this a little late, but I'm still joining in on #FirstDraftFall as well as #royalroad 's Writathon this month. With what? Volume 2 of Canticle! Tentatively planning on posting chapters on Sat + Sun every week until I meet the Writathon goal of 55,555 words.

The final Interlude chapter is live! Come read a deleted scene about Gen and Niv's dumb adventures in the south of France! Update on Canticle Vol. 2 tomorrow!

For this week's #WIPSnips excerpt, have a bit about Genesis casting a spell with a certain someone's handkerchief from tomorrow's Canticle interlude, "Words of Wisdom"

On a night like this, when my brain feels like a vat of soup that occasionally has a live wire dipped into it, incapable of doing much more than lying in bed, I really needed to hear this.

Changing Fortunes is live! In which young Mirk gets an unwelcome surprise, and Jan and Senkov are absolutely up to no good...

For this week's #WIPSnips, have another excerpt from "Changing Fortunes", which will be posted this Friday! I wish I had more reasons to write about Jan and Senkov, they're such gigantic idiots, lol

Almost done with the second page of my Baba Yaga stitch from Autumn Lane Stitchery! Can I make it to Baba herself by Halloween...?

For today's #WIPSnips, have an excerpt from the upcoming short story, "Changing Fortunes", set in the Canticle storyline. Because even as a kid, Mirk cares too much...

It's FINALLY here! The second part of A Leader of Men! In which the First's chief scam artists cook up a profoundly stupid scheme, and Niv and Yule get sucked into something ominous...

A drawing of Švejk and his lieutenant at odds, as always

Re-reading The Good Soldier Švejk...if I had the skill, I'd totally add in these style of illustrations to the First Things First stories. I got a lot of my inspiration for how to poke fun at commanders/officers from this book. Next story should be up next week!

A cartoon drawing of a fish in water, eating fish flakes that are falling in. An arrow pointing to flakes says "YOUR COMMENTS ON MY LITTLE PICTURES AND STORIES" An arrow pointing to the fish says "GROWING FAT AND HEALTHY" Another arrow pointing to the fish says "ME (ARTIST)"

...yes, I know I was supposed to post part 2 of "A Leader of Men" about a month ago. But...uh...yeah. I've been really going through it. More on that later. But I'm finally almost done editing! Have an excerpt from it for today's #WIPSnips word, red.

This month's short story is here, Canticle comrades! Comrades in Arms! Two bffs meet for the first time and it's...uh...well. Complicated.

I'm reading a poem written in the 1820s in support of homosexual love, possibly by William Beckford. On the one hand this is a remarkable read. However, in a passage about the narrator fancying a serving-boy, the poet asks "Why for a menial did my entrails warm?" and I may never write romance again.

...yeah, that's pretty accurate, lol.

The new Niv and Yule story, "A Leader of Men" (part one), is coming out this Friday! So here's another #WIPSnips sneak peak for today's word, boss. Where Niv has to keep in mind that he's the commander, like it or not...and trouble is brewing.

#mmromance #romantasy #webserial #writesky #booksky

Using today's #WIPSnips prompt to announce that there'll be a new Niv and Yule short story up next week! Finally! This time, Niv gets called up by the tough guys of the Armored to teach them how to be manly men...or something, lol.

New cross stitch WIP! Baba Yaga by Autumn Lane Stitchery <3

I...sorely misjudged how much fabric I'd need when converting the OG linen dimensions to my usual "can't see shit captain" 14ct aida. At least I really love the color...

Writing update coming soon!

Parents don't have the 'right' to do whatever they like to their child, they have an obligation and duty to take care of their child as best they can and those are two very different things.

A cross stitch piece of a domovoy

My domovoy is finished! Not sure how I feel about the variegated thread, think I was just using it wrong. I'm getting used to linen, but I'm still an aida girlie at heart. Now to finish my other Owl Forest stitch!

Time for the first Canticle short story! Just in time for father's day, Little Gen attempts to learn how to People from two of the worst possible examples...
