Support me, buy Hydra's Wake please.

Hydras are cooler than Dragons.

If your story has a dragon, replace it with a hydra and see what happens to the story!

Dragons are overused... they're not bad, but they're overused.

If I had to say anything to new authors, it would be don't give up. There is a network of amazing people who can help you with anything writing related, and there's no timer on accomplishing any goal. Take it one word at a time until you reach "The End," because that's a feeling that is worth experiencing.

was inspired to write a very short, single-scene 500-ish-word story as a warmup, then 700+ words on the chapter currently in progress. I find myself *very much* wanting to take my laptop to a cafe to write, but 1. going to a Food Place is fraught 1.a. I could go to one with a place to sit outside, but it's getting into the hot season and I hate hot and sun 2. my laptop is basically a glorified brick; it technically works, but only veeerrrryyyyyy sloooowwwwlly, and I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with it. hm... I think I've taken all the data I want to keep off it, maybe I'll try scrubbing it out, see if that helps. that doesn't solve the problem of impending 80+ degree weather and sun, of course, or of trying to avoid exciting new viral strains...

β€œI think I’ve met someone,” Mentha heard her mouth betray her.

Kisha tossed the hoe and sat down in middle of the vegetable garden between the cabbage, not even pretending to work.

β€œTell me everything,” she whispered, not able to hide her excitement.
