#ScribesAndMakers Jul. 1 — What do you want to work on this month?

Working on any creative project at all will be a blessing with how things have been lately, but if the stars align I want to get more headway on a short piece of #historicalFiction I've been noodling with, start a write-up about the Joseon-era novel #BangHallimJeon about the asexual marriage of a transmasc-coded female husband and their fiercely independent (political?) lesbian wife that I promised @heatherrosejones (I haven't forgotten!!), and start talking marketing plans for the feminist horror #ttrpg #BluebeardsBride in Korea. Plus maybe rework a couple of stories that have been languishing on my hard drive to send them off for submission? And make an actual action plan for moving forward with research and rewrites on the big WIP? And restart art practice? So much to do! >_<

What, you said what I WANT to work on. I always want to work on All The Things. Whether I will is another question :P

Today's bookstore find is a gorgeously illustrated edition of #BangHallimJeon for younger readers. It's a #Joseon era novel about the loving #asexual marriage between a fiercely independent #queer woman and her heroic female husband, who in current terms could be one or more of #transmasc, crossdressing woman, stone butch, he/him #lesbian, etc. (Depending on how you understand the husband's gender, the subtitle on the cover may come across as misgendering.) I love the two mains and their relationship to bits, and it was a treat to find such a pretty edition for teen readers complete with study guide and commentary! #amReading #Korea #queerFiction
