August 2026 Update

It’s been a busy month! Lots of events and prepping for events, and more writing! Summer tends to be full of events that require a lot of preparation, and we’re right in the middle of it. I helped out at the largest colonial village outside the original 13 colonies for the 250, which was a cool way to celebrate, though exhausting. I also attended Gen Con, which was an awesome experience. So much going on and I only got to a fraction of it. I learned a lot of things to help me maximize my experience next time I go. Lots of cool people to meet!
One of the most exciting things that happened was a tornado warning going off on Saturday night. We happened to be at an interior restaurant at the time, then their fire alarm started going off! It was really confusing being told to go inside and outside at the same time, but luckily, there was no fire (but there was flooding in the building) and the EF0 funnel that touched down wasn’t close to where we were. Everyone was talking about it for days afterwards and people even made ribbons and dice about it.
As far as writing goes, I finished my first editing pass for the third draft! There’s still a lot of work to be done on it, but what I’ve started working on has been much more fun. I’ve also been plugging along on my short story, but it’s been a lot heavier than I anticipated it was going to be and I’ve had to go at it in little bursts so I don’t get too weighed down. I’m excited for how it’s going to turn out though!
