HI FRIENDS.

Hope the start of your July / Camp NaNoWriMo / we're-halfway-through-the-year-freakout is going well!

First, I wanted to share Week 1 of my Summer Semester Writing Experiment! (I will have a different thumbnail when it goes live, hopefully in a day or two.)

My plan is to continue making these weekly vlogs for y'all (and for me, as accountability of sorts) but ONLY posting them here! I'll probably do a wrap-up or "lessons learned" publicly, but for the next nine weeks, I'll just stash them on Patreon. That means the editing may not be quuuiiiiitteee as snippy, but otherwise it should all be the same! :)

Second, I wanted to share that since the poll results were SO close:

I'll be doing them both! Starting TODAY I'll be recording my drafting hours in A Closet Full of Cauldrons. I'm excited to see how long it takes me to hit 100 hours and just how many words I'll have written!

Third, and the reason for the title on this post, is that I STILL have not finished my "short story completed exclusively on stream." Last time I was CONVINCED would be the final stream I needed, but alas....

Becca (and everyone in chat, lol) told me that it was okay to pivot, so that's what I did.

And that pivot has brought me HERE. To hopefully-maybe-fingers-crossed the FINAL stream of this never-ending experiment lolol. I'm on the line edits of this strange, not-quite fairy tale, and hey, maybe 5th stream's the charm?

Saturday, July 8th at 2:00pm CDT, I hope to see y'all there!

Thanks y'all and happy writing!
