I wish I knew what to call this

Posted on February 17, 2020 by Nolie Alcarturiel

I promised news on writing and SCA, so here you are. Listening to my sister’s playlists is good company while I clean, but apparently nothing can clarify my incoherent thoughts today. STOML — is on hold for now, after a … Continue reading →

Posted on November 30, 2019 by Nolie Alcarturiel

It has been an eventful three weeks here. Three weekends ago I didn’t post because I had opened up the Two-Legged League again and that kind of swallowed me, two weekends ago I had just come down with a cold … Continue reading →

I’m aware that I have said comparatively little about the Two-Legged League on here, despite having finished its first draft at the end of the first week of Easter. A fortunate few have gotten to read that draft already, and Ariana … Continue reading →

Io! Io!

Posted on April 29, 2019 by Nolie Alcarturiel

“I’m just the amanuensis, I don’t know anything!”

Posted on February 19, 2019 by Nolie Alcarturiel

Two of my writing projects share the highest-priority place at the moment, but one of them gets longer faster than the other. They are The Two-Legged League and Levi’s story, tentatively titled So That Others May Live. The latter is at 37,000 words … Continue reading →
