Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Aledan Merfolk! This is just a quick post to let you know I’ll be on a blogging hiatus for the rest of the year. I always forget how busy November and December are at work (who knew nuclear chemistry and retail had the same busy season?), so I need to focus all […]
Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m recovering from the amazingness that was YAllFest yesterday, but I have a super extra special custom for you today. You might remember back when I featured the Wind Whistler Seapony in March and said I’d be commissioning an Erie version when I finished the first draft of Speak the Ocean.

Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! How was everyone’s Halloween/Samhain? I heard there was snow in Michigan on Halloween, and while I remember dressing up with costumes over winter coats when I was younger, I don’t remember it ever actually snowing on Halloween. So why don’t we warm it up again with a beautiful summery pony? Caeti

Happy Wednesday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m happy to say I’m cruising along on the re-write/edit of the first four chapters of StO. The first chapter is finished, and I’m working on the horrible third chapter right now (third chapters are always my difficult chapters).

Happy Friday Aledan Merfolk! I disappeared for most of the week because I caught the monster cold that’s been going around (apparently the whole country, because I had friends in Maryland and California and a cousin in Colorado with the exact same symptoms), so if you were wondering why your social media streams were suspiciously

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m getting this post up a day late because I spent the weekend celebrating the end of the first draft of Speak the Ocean! I’ve been working on that monster since the end of January, so finally finishing it is a huge weight off my shoulders. It also means I get

Happy Friday night/nearly Saturday morning, Aledan MERFOLK! I’m happy to announce I just wrote the final scene in the first draft of SPEAK THE OCEAN! It took far longer than I ever expected to write this draft, but I’m hoping it’s stronger than most of my first drafts. I can see plenty of weak places
Speak the Ocean is DONE! (Well, the first draft is…) Read More »
