Good morning!
Despite a trip to the ER late Friday night, a second trip on Wednesday night, an appointment with a specialist on Thursday, and feeling a bit under the weather all week, I have eighteen stories to share with you today and a few not yet posted, so watch for them over the weekend.
Now my exercise workout has been a bit compromised, and I've accomplished very little fiction since my first at-home writing retreat of 2021 a couple weeks ago - although I (almost) wrapped up Cornell Dyer and the Calcium Deficient Bones last weekend (but it didn't need much).
So here are my weekend plans:
I'll reconnect with Call of the Siren (the second book in the Limbo series) tonight by reading through my previous work. And then I'll start working, in a very up close and granular way, on all the areas I've sectioned off. I have no timetable for getting this done because this is where the quality of the writing counts.
Sue Midlock, artist for The Adventures of Cornell Dyer is nearly down with the art for Cornell Dyer and the "Mistical" Being, co-written by Rebekah, who has recovered very nicely from surgery), so I'm eager to pass along the art ideas for Cornell Dyer and the Calcium-Deficient Bones (co-written by Timothy).
However, Sue is still experiencing some issues from her surgery in June, so the art is coming along slowly. Please keep the good thoughts/prayers coming for Sue.
Timothy is currently outlining another Cornell Dyer story. This one is another parody and features a character named Sherman Homes.
Sarah also had a crazy dream that sounded perfect for An Adventure of Cornell Dyer mystery. But she wants time to draw some sketches, a map, and write the "rules." It's called Cornell Dyer and the House of Broken Portals.
Bertrand the Mouse has returned, and you can read about it here, here, and here.
Jennifer Wainright (frontispiece artist for Lycanthropic Summer) has completed two portraits for "Girls of the BryonySeries" series for tween girls. It's beautiful and it shows that artist Jennifer Wainright can draw anything from werewolves to portraits!
She was working on art for the third book (I have eight planned in all and two in progress). Jennifer is also recovering from a motorcyle accident, so please send up good thoughts for her, too!
Now back to the eighteen stories. Simply click on the link of the story that looks interesting to you. Happy scrolling!
But before the stories, I have a list of additional resources and information. Please check them out, too -
Finally, if you'd like to find more kindness in your life, consider this book.
And have a great Friday!
