So, remember "Young Miss Holmes", that Sherlock Holmes manga that got me "promoted" from proofreader to assistant editor? Apparently it was so well-received that they're asking me to do the actual rewriting for the series! It even made the New York Times manga bestseller list (which I didn't even know was a thing ( Read more... )

I am about halfway done with "Beast and Beastliness," my Regency romance retelling of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Once I hit that halfway point, I was thinking about typing it up (I've been writing it longhand during slow bits at work) and posting it here ( Read more... )

Yesterday I did the monthly accounting, which caused me to hyperventilate over how much money is going out vs. how much I'm taking in. Lucky for me darthsaytr has been, quietly and without making a fuss about it, taking on more of the household expenses. I really don't know what I'd do without him -- he's been wonderful throughout this whole, unhappy ( Read more... )
