Dear yule goat, hello!

Thanks so much for writing something for me... I am easygoing (or more like: extremely enthusiastic about everything) and already looking forward to whatever you choose to write. :-)

General notes: I’m starfishstar on AO3, DW and LJ. I’m easy to please! If you write a story about any of these characters, out of love for these ( Read more... )

Summary:

It had always been clear to me that people from throughout our quarter came to my grandfather for advice, knowing his reputation for wisdom and clear-eyed business sense. What took me longer to notice-because my eye wasn’t trained for it-was that people sought out my grandmother as well.

Ha, well, apparently April was the sort of month where I didn't manage even to think about writing up my reading from the first quarter of the year (January-March) until now in...May. Yeah. But here we go!

VERY TOP BOOKS

We Are Not from Here by Jenny Torres Sanchez - Damn, this book hits hard and real. It was impossible to decide which of my ( Read more... )

Heeeeyo! I still can't tell if NaNoWriMo is going to give me some kind of banner/award/whatever for completing the April Camp NaNoWriMo challenge (I met MY goal, but I don't know if I met THE goal, since this is not November and my goal was not 50,000 words), so I'm going ahead and doing this myself:

I met my Camp NaNoWriMo goal!  \o/

My goal was ( Read more... )

I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo! Yes, at long last, I've officially signed up for a NaNoWriMo event. Let's see if I immediately regret this as soon as April arrives...which technically is in a few minutes... No, I don't think I'll regret it. :-)

How many books read in 2020?

97 books

...Yes, this is the first time since (*checks records*) 2015 that I read fewer than 100 books in a year. I don’t even know exactly why this year had a drop-off; yes, 2020 was hard, but for me 2019 was way, way, way harder. I think partly it may be that I’ve been working on being less obsessive about, well, ( Read more... )
