Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! Yesterday was the first day of NaNoWriMo, so I got distracted with the new story and forgot to put up this week’s custom pony. I got my words for the day, but every single one of them was like pulling teeth. And since this weekend was Halloween and full of candy,

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I don’t even know how it’s already Thursday. Where did the week go? The month? It’s almost Halloween and I don’t even have a costume! Yikes. It’s also almost NaNo time, and my Enfields world building is a mess. An utter mess. But I did switch the gender of the MC’s
