I’m psyching myself up to start working on a re-write of The Education of Madeleine Yaxley, which I wrote years ago before I knew wtf I was doing as a writer, and had never heard the expression “problematic trope”. I think this ( Read more... )

I think my long stretch of writer's block is officially over, you guys. I've reached the point where the words just. won't. stop. coming. My most serious concern at the moment is making sure I remember to eat and sleep.

I've started tracking my monthly word count in an effort to try to set reasonable writing goals for myself. In the month of October, I wrote 8800 words (down from 16,000 in September and 12,900 in August). This month, I added one chapter to ACOC Year Two, one chapter to Trans*Figured, and wrote seven short pieces to complete A History of ( Read more... )

I started writing A History of Cartographers the other day as a means of getting to know and better understand the Marauders' parents.

I've got about half of my fic archive uploaded on my Archive Of Our Own page. Links to new stories and chapters on my website and in this journal will now take you directly there. If you have a few minutes, I'd love it if you would visit and Kudos the hell out of my stories; it helps me get more hits. As always, your time and love is very much ( Read more... )

I've been working on streamlining my webpage again over the last day or so. I'd been meaning to do it for a while. The colours made some pages hard to read, and it was getting to be a pain in the ass in some ways. Here's what's different ( Read more... )
