Good morning! The Arctic chill is moving on, at least for now, and the sun is shining. I never listen to the groundhog, because here it will be at least six more weeks of winter regardless of what he sees when he pops out of his burrow. I hope you are well.
I’ll have a new chapter of Journey to the Water up on Patreon tomorrow, though it might end up being a little late. The latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be here on Wednesday at the usual time (noonish).
Just a short update today. Have an excellent week!
Sinéad O’Connor, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”
Good morning! It’s an Arctic day here, so I hope that wherever you are, you are safe and warm.
In other news, my household is missing its solitary vehicle, as another driver ran a red light and struck my husband when he was coming home from work on Friday. Everyone is okay, but the car is probably a total loss. We’re waiting on the insurance to tell us what happens next, which will apparently not include coverage for a rental.
If you’ve got a spare $3, and you enjoy my work, I have a Patreon and a Ko-fi. We have groceries and a bus card and the heat is on, so please take care of yourself first.
It’s the end of the month, so there will be new chapters of everything this week!
The Book of the New Moon Door: new chapter on Patreon tomorrow.
Journey to the Water: the latest chapter will be here on the blog on Wednesday.
The Well Below the Valley: Episode 9 will be posted to Patreon also on Wednesday.
Lastly, the January edition of the newsletter will go out tomorrow. If you’d like to sign up, put your email in the box at this link. Don’t forget to click on the confirmation email afterward! You can also find the newsletter signup at the bottom of the page (bottom right on desktop),underneath the Follow Blog button.
I think that’s all for today. Take care, have an excellent week, and always wear your seatbelt.
I’m working on the next episode of The Well Below the Valley this week, but in the meantime, there will be a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on Wednesday.
I’ve been thinking about getting back into streaming and/or YouTube. I need to increase my reach, and it seems like people enjoy videos. What kind of content would you like to see, dear reader? Discussion of literary devices and the fantasy genre? Reading the classics so you don’t have to (putting my English degrees to work)? Interesting historical topics (particularly ones that have influenced my work and other fantasy writers)? Live chat?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and have an excellent week! I appreciate you.
ETA: I’ve fixed the social media buttons at the bottom of the page (they had turned invisible for some reason) and added a button at the bottom right where you can sign up for the newsletter.
Happy Monday and MLK Day. I hope you have rest from your struggles today.
Not much to report this week: I’ll have a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be here on Wednesday.
Dirtwire, “The Well” (featuring Rising Appalachia)
Good morning!
I was sick all last week (picked up a virus from my baby niece, who is the most adorable and needed extra cuddles. I washed my hands so much, but I still caught it). I think I’m reaching the end of it, so my plan is to post the Patreon chapter of Journey to the Water later this week (instead of the customary Tuesday). The most recent chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on Wednesday.
As I get back to the minor blog redecorating that I was intending to do last week, please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make my website more accessible! I’ve chosen the font and color combination to be easy on the eyes, and all images should have alt text. Please feel free to leave me a comment if I can make reading a better experience for you.
Have an excellent week, and be sure to stop by again soon.
I’ll be doing some new year’s cleaning and maintenance on the blog and social media over the next several days, so don’t be alarmed if things move around. In the meantime, I’ll be posting a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up here on Wednesday.
I hope the first week of 2023 treats you well. Thanks for being here.
It’s the last Monday of the year, when traditionally I gather all the Songs of the Week into one handy playlist and hope that YouTube doesn’t delete any of them before I can share them with you. As of this writing, they are all there.
Tomorrow I’ll have the second part of the Year in Review, when I make some lists of things that happened this year, and a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon. We’ll close out the year with The Book of the New Moon Door on Wednesday and a year-end edition of the newsletter.
Not very seasonal, but I worked retail so long that I can’t stand most holiday music.
Happy Monday! The sun is out here for the first time in almost a month. I hope you have literal or metaphorical sunshine in your life this week.
I’m keeping up with normal chapter posting: The Book of the New Moon Door will be on Patreon tomorrow, and Journey to the Water will be here on Wednesday. Because of the holidays (and all the baking I will be doing this week), I probably won’t post a new episode of The Well Below the Valley on January 1, but I’ll keep you posted.
As always, thanks for being here, and have an excellent week. May your winter holidays be stress-free and cozy.
I still have a few more chapters to post before the end of the year, so we’ll have a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on Wednesday.
Stay warm, eat some good food, and have an excellent week. I appreciate you.
Not much to report this week; there will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up here on Wednesday.
