This month I have done a tiny bit of travel, a medium sized bit of work giving feedback on a friend's manuscript, been refining some of my time management, digging into where the heck 'passion' comes from and what it is, and saw both Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame.No spoilers for either, but one unspoilery… Continue reading An Update For April

So, that prestigious workshop I applied to? Didn’t get in. But the process of making the attempt, and what that reveals, has been very helpful. Mainly because it shows I’m starting to take actions proactively, rather than reactively. Instead of searching for a solution to a problem I have, or seeking a way to cope… Continue reading A somewhat timely update

Ugh. I've been holding off on updating you guys about how it's been going this past month, because I've been wrestling with whether or not to apply to this prestigious workshop, and since I haven't solidly made an actual decision yet, somehow, just somehow, I let posting this (and pausing the Patreon) slip past me.… Continue reading A mildly delayed update.

  So. Here we are, a little bit more than a year later. Been longer than I thought, but then again, sometimes I thought that last year would never end.Across 2018 my life’s major focus has been on a variety of treatments for mental health. While I’m still receiving care, coping with the acute difficulties I… Continue reading A long awaited update.

Things are still on pause (next round of payment should be February), thanks to holiday craziness combined with psychiatric treatment taking quite a lot of time. Things do seem quite positive, though, since I managed to participate in my family's Christmas celebrations successfully for the first time in near enough a decade, so, I'll keep you… Continue reading Still on pause!

Okay, so.That pause? Is going to continue, and you shouldn't have been charged this month - the next time you should be charged will be January 1st, 2018.This is because, that psychiatric appointment I mentioned last month? I now have a diagnosis, and we're putting together some treatment plans for me. I'm not ready to… Continue reading Patreon still on pause. (November.)

  Firstly, and most importantly, I’m putting Patreon on a very brief pause. You don’t need to do anything about this - none of you will be charged come November first - and service should resume as normal during November, with charging resuming in December. ( I’m doing this thing -> https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214013323-I-m-going-on-hiatus-How-do-I-ensure-my-patrons-don-t-get-charged- )So. Secondly.As you all know… Continue reading Patreon On Pause (October)

I always find myself interested with how we all naturally find ourselves under that impulse to try and put forward our best selves online. We post the photos that came out best, we pretend the half-dozen that didn’t were never taken at all. It makes the etiquette for talking about your bad day in public… Continue reading Public blog update (15 September)

This month, for the first of the monthly essays (unlocked thanks to your support!), we have some  in-character material written about the Folkish, from the current work-in-progress novel.  ***Hundreds of years in the past, before the cataclysm that split the world and drove all wizardry from the face of the earth, the wizards created servants for… Continue reading Monthly Essay: On the Folkish

Hi folks,Just dropping by in between two conventions (Worldcon 75 in Helsinki and Eurofurence 23), which I am mostly attending as a civilian but if you want me to sign something at EF, yell at me on twitter and we can set that up. So far it's going really well - there was a panel on… Continue reading Conventions!

Just a note to all Patrons - I've started shifting a few things around to streamline Patreon and help me keep things in order and make it easier to stay on-schedule.The big highlights are that all $10+ Patrons now have access to the monthly web chat (details on that soon), $20+ Patrons can get a… Continue reading Slight reorganization to Patreon
