If you missed the memo, I put a pause on my read-along so that I could focus my energy on making writing progress. I hope to circle back to it and share more of my favorite craft novels in the future! For now, there’s only so much time in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s where we stand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paxwood<\/strong>: I’ve been working to build up a backlog so that I can consistently post at least two new episodes a month, even during the school year\u2014maybe more! I’d love to finish Book 1 before the end of the calendar year, and there are around 15-20 more episodes to work through (and 20 weeks left in the year). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other Writing<\/strong>: I submitted my YA sci-fi novel A Ring of Secrets<\/em> to Bindery’s Pitch Fest. (Bindery Books<\/a> is an indie press that utilizes the Bookstagram\/BookTok community to fuel its publishing decisions, market books, and give readers a behind-the-scenes look at the book publishing process.) Results will be in some time this month. Nix and Ixi will share their universe with you, no matter what. We’ll just have to wait and see what form that takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Etsy Updates<\/strong>: Although I continued crafting all year, the cross-country move last summer threw off my marketing energy. I’m working out my crafty plots and schemes and there should be some shop updates soon, including updated custom order listings and delightful handmade fabric pouches that I absolutely love<\/em>. I’m especially excited that I’ve got a new 3D printer and a merchant’s licence for some really cool dragon eggs from Stratation Design<\/a>, so I plan to sell surprise crochet fantasy creatures in cute dragon eggs soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a lot of work to do with my two remaining weeks of summer, so wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you missed the memo, I put a pause on my read-along so that I could focus my energy on making writing progress.
