July: what a month!
- Writing wise, I stuck to my general goal of at least spending the time between my winddown routine and bedtime (or the equivalent) writing whenever I don’t have an event/conflict. I posted updates for the third book in the I’ll Give You trilogy, as well as a new standalone Contrivance companion, “As Long as You Name Me Victor“, posting a total of about 25,000 words across my projects. With that, I published my tenth book: Tales From Contrivance Headquarters!
- Next month: sticking to my daily goal.
- I taught two classes this month: “Tarot Reading as a Service” for Wicked Grounds and “Contract Systems” for Service Chats. Thank you to everyone who attended, and to the teams who made them happen!
- In August, I’ll be teaching “Service Schedules” on 8/18 and “Professional Skills for Service” on 8/25. Both of these events are virtual and free. You can find all the details here. See you there!
- We had two Las Vegas TNG (The Next Generation) event this month: two of our usual munches. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped out!
- In August, there will be one of our usual munches on the 26th, if you happen to be 18-35 and local to the Vegas area.
- For the Neon Cactus Wordsmiths, I hosted two Discord write-ins this month. Thanks to everyone who attended! I also got to go to a few other write-ins both virtually and in person.
- Next month, I’ll be hosting two more Discord write-ins on the 7th and 21st. If you happen to be a Las Vegas based writer, join us for those and more here.
Other updates from this month:
- I’ve been spending a lot of time outside this summer, including camping on Mt. Charleston and swimming at Cowabunga Canyon!
- Did a lot of fun social stuff and have enjoyed getting out more.
- Read some interesting books, including Polysecure by Jessica Fern, A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee, and All Girls by Emily Layden.
Thanks for everything this month; have a happy, healthy, and safe August!
