Those Monsters We Have Dreamed About This is Installment 2 of this year’s SSCS. If you want to start at the beginning of ‘Those Monsters We Have Dreamed About’, go here! If you want to know what the heck an SSCS is, go here! Previously… I was preoccupied then, too. I’d been sent away from the factory yesterday, the scarlet tunic I’d worn for the past three years taken away and handed to someone else. And now I was on…

Those Monsters We Have Dreamed About We are now live with Installment 1 of my next SSCS! (That stands for Serial Stream-of-Consciousness Story, which is something you can find out more about here.) I’ll be putting out a new installment once each week, on Friday, until the story is done (around about late August).

Well, once again it is the time of year when I’d like to post up how my writing progress has gone for the year (and, if you’re curious, you can compare this year’s progress update with last year’s here). Progress updates are a funny thing. They imply a need for quantifiable achievement, and it is definitely true that I do like to tabulate things, probably more than other people would consider healthy (hence, the bottom of this post with my…
See Previous | See Next We have come to the time of year when it really depends what part of the garden you live in. We have also come to the season of the Holidays, which are so busy, and so seem like as good a time as any for me to say that, going forward, I’m switching over from low-key weekly garden posts to very low-key garden posts, i.e., just the pictures. Some weeks I write less than 100…
