In Between Worlds

So... What entails for November?

1. Edits for Fire Heart.

2. Writing a glossary for Fire Heart to accompany field guide.

3. Yule Mice (if possible).

4. Launching Dragon Physician on Radish.

5. Going away for a break.

Why going away for a break? I am exhausted. This year has been great writing-related, but my emotions are wrecked. International news are not helping. We are going into dark times and the world feels it.

I might also take the away time to think about my future, health-wise. I might have to see my therapist/psychiatrist again. November is also where they pack all my important medical appointments together. So you get the blood tests, the mammogram and the liver scans together in a week! Goddess knows how I am going to cope with the financial aspects of all these tests... But I am crossing my fingers.

So... This is November for me. :)

Renewed DW account. Scaled down to paid, not premium.

Likewise, Samhain/Halloween (or Beltane) card draws are on until end of the month. The deck is inspired by/based on Southeast Asian/Peninsular Malaysian fauna.

A couple of things I worked on got published/greenlit. An anthology of international spec poetry will be out on the 4th of December.

And if things will work out, fingers crossed, I will be writing serialised fiction.

I am still feeling the remnants of anxiety, spillover from last week which was not an easy week (it being exam results week for Cub/my eldest). I haven't written anything. Instead I baked bread, drew stuff and made pumpkin soup from scratch. I am considering taking another break, since I also feel the onset of PMS. :/

WOLF AT THE DOOR is out!

Merry Samhain/All Souls'/All Saints and Merry Beltane too to Southern Hemisphere peeps.

And happy Halloween to those who celebrate.

May your fires be lit!
May your walk between the veils be fruitful!

Free fiction on Fox Spirit.

Plus, Heart Of Fire will be free on the 31st October until 1st November. Keep your eyes for the passwords!

Plus, readers of the Jan Xu series can get to read (for free) the novella that sparked off the writing of Wolf At The Door.

Almost Samhain.

The veils between the worlds thin.

Whatever you are celebrating, be happy, be merry and also remember those who have gone before us.

In the home stretch for the release of Obsidian Moon, Obsidian Eye.

To who celebrate!
