Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! Last week I talked about our Lovey Chicken who had started letting us pet her and was close to laying her first egg. Guess what? On Saturday, Princess Mononoke laid her first egg! And she’s laid one every day since! She ran around the yard for hours Saturday morning, being noisy […]

Happy Friday, Aledan Merfolk! This has been a long, emotion-filled week, so we’re going to keep this update short and sweet. I finished reading FANTASY MEDLEY 3, and really enjoyed each of the short stories (the third one was confusing through most of it, but man that ending!). I definitely recommend buying a copy and

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! As you can see, things are back to normal on the blog, with Custom Pony of the Week and Science Tuesday both back in full force. Time to get back to updating you as well, especially since I have a lot to update. The epic Christmas family travel tour went well,

Happy Wednesday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve obviously already started my blogging hiatus for the holidays, seeing as how this is the first (and only) post in December, but I did have a couple of awesome things to update you on. First: my dad moves home from the hospital today! He’s been living on the other side

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! Today’s the final day of NaNoWriMo 2015, and I have not only failed to reach my own personal goal of 30k for the month, I quit writing Enfields altogether. Not forever (I hope), but I definitely need to do a bit more world-building before I can continue. Instead I started working

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! As you can see from the title of the post, NaNo’s going about as well as expected for week three. I have about 12k words, which for me is 7k behind (I’m so far behind on actual NaNo wordcount I haven’t even bothered to keep track), but I did make it

Happy Friday the 13th, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve had an exciting, busy week, and it’s about to get even more exciting and busy, because YAllFest starts today! I plan to spend the weekend in downtown Charleston, hanging out with author friends and hopefully running into even more author friends! And eating, of course, because you don’t

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! We’re on Day 5 of NaNo, and so far writing Enfields has been like pulling teeth. As I’ve mentioned before, the worldbuilding is a hot mess, the beat sheet says helpful things like “something bad happens here”, and most of the cast has no name yet. And I rather suck at

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! After four days of posts this week I bet you’re kind of sick of me, huh? That’s ok, today’s going to be a quick update, I promise. Enfield’s plot is starting to come along. Usually I storyline straight through a book and plot out the big moments before I start writing

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
