Happy end of June! I thought it was time for a check in, as half the year has passed us now. I’m hoping you all are enjoying the blog. I’d love to know what stories you’ve enjoyed the most. I’ve had a lot of fun exploring the different genres and the fine lines between them.
I’ve also been getting more into my art however. I’ve developed these little mushroom men as a kind of personal mascot, though I do have plans to turn them into a comic over time. These grew out of a monthly art challenge called Funguary that happened in February this year. It was hosted by feefal and was a ton of fun.
I’ve noticed a trend to my stories, in that they tend to fall into one of two universes. A cozy urban fantasy universe or a darker more fairy tale based universe. I’ve attempted to better label these stories, as readers of one may not want to get halfway through a story set in the other before realizing it. I’m going to go back through my stories over the next month and assemble them into better lists in The Library, grouping together the ones that fall into these universes.
Going forward, it is my goal to share more. I’m going to attempt these updates quarterly at the very least, and I’m going to try to share my art on social media as well as my stories. I’m also starting a monthly newsletter that will be something of a link roundup for you of all stories and articles, their genres and corresponding universe if there is one. It will also highlight any new art or items in the shop, and give details of any events upcoming that I’m hoping to attend. You can subscribe to the newsletter at the bottom of the site.
That’s it for this round. I’ll check in again soon.
