Song of the Week

Joe Hisaishi, “Ashitaka and San” (from Princess Mononoke)

Good morning! I hope you had a relaxing weekend, whether it was a holiday for you or not.

If you were expecting the newsletter on the 30th and did not find it in your inbox, do not worry! Due to some poor planning on my part, I haven’t sent it out yet. I got distracted with cooking and also eating. It will be out later today. If you’re not signed up and you’d like to be, put your email address in the box at this link. Be sure to look for the confirmation email afterward.

In case you missed it, you can now take a look at the cover for Journey to the Water. I’m about halfway through my edits and hope to finish them all by the end of the week. The book will release December 20, so be sure to mark your calendars! Also, if you haven’t yet, be sure to visit the “Buy my books” tab above (under the Menu if you’re on mobile) and get your own copy of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea before the sequel comes out.

For this week, I’ll have the first (edited and shiny) chapter of Journey up here on Wednesday for your perusal, and I’ll stop back on Friday with an update on the publishing process.

Also, all the Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot packages are in the mail and will be arriving soon!

Some petitions:

Via Rep. Rashida Tlaib: Support Palestine’s UN proposal

Via Jewish Voice for Peace: No more weapons to Israel

As always, thanks for being here. Have an excellent week.

Joe Hisaishi, “The Dragon Boy” (from Spirited Away)

Good morning, happy Monday, and a pleasant spooky/harvest holiday to you!

The first order of business for this week is the newsletter! The inaugural October issue will go out at about noon today. If you would like to receive it, and haven’t signed up yet, you can put your email into the box at this link. It will send you a confirmation email. Once you’ve confirmed, you are on the mailing list!

Second order of business: the next chapter of Journey to the Water and Episode Seven of The Well Below the Valley will both be released on Patreon tomorrow!

Third and last: NaNoWriMo is coming. My goal is to write 50,000 words of The Book of the New Moon Door in the month of November, finishing Part Two and making some headway into Part Three (possibly finishing the entire thing, depending on how it goes). This will give me a nice backlog that will prevent future disruptions to the usual posting schedule and get me closer to being able to edit and prepare it for publishing!

I think that’s all for today. Thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.

Joe Hisaishi, “The Legend of Ashitaka”

It’s Monday again. Hi.

If you missed the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, it’s available at this link (or just scroll down from here on the home page). All the chapters are available under the Stories tab above.

Things are happening this week, mostly on Patreon. Tomorrow, the next chapter of Journey to the Water goes up. That one will make its appearance here on the blog next week (Wednesday, April 6). On Wednesday of this week (March 30), the script for the first episode of The Well Below the Valley will be available for download on Patreon. This one won’t be available on the blog, so if it’s something that interests you, sign up for Patreon! I’ll talk more about it here on Wednesday.

Streaming on Twitch will resume soon, but probably not this week. I’ll let you know when I have news about that.

Thank you to everyone who sent good thoughts about Odin. He was the most loved.

Have an excellent week.
