Generic Life Update 2/24/23

Hello, blog! I hope this post finds you somewhere comfortable, possibly in bed under many layers of blankets. (There's a cold snap in Seattle right now, so that's where I want to spend most of my time.) 

Since the last time I posted one of these, I:

✨ Finished the Little Red Riding Hood retelling that turned into a 22k horny novella, and now I'm letting it cook for a couple weeks before I revise it.

✨ Got a new tattoo!

A photo of a brightly-colored tattoo of flowers and amethyst crystals.

This is a piece of flash by Caitlin Stairs tattoo, and I love how we managed to tuck it into the negative space from the previous tattoo!

✨ I planted my Arctic Baby dwarf nectarine tree in the ground, where I hope it will give me many, many nectarines in the coming years.

A very small tree planted in a concrete-edged bed and mulched with leaves.

✨ Planted my new White Gold dwarf cherry in the 50 gallon drum that previously held the nectarine, where hopefully it will give me many cherries in the coming years.

✨ Finished a 60k fanfiction.

✨ Was accepted into a short story anthology that I can't talk about yet, but will refuse to shut up about when I can officially yell about it.

✨Wrote 11k on the Knife's book.

✨ Took some pictures of Matcha being a perfect tiny lap baby.

It's been a pretty okay February, even considering it's objectively the most terrible month. I hope you all had a pretty okay February, too!
