IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye.


So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement!

Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish (read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead). 


They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort.

Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building for Atlis since I wrote the two stories, and neither talks about all the cool things Atlis has (spoiler alert it has weredogs. why Sarah, why). I'm probably never going to get around to publishing any of my actually interesting, non-fairy tale Atlis novels, aaaand I have no idea where I was going with this. Oh yeah, Atlis. "Scrapper" takes place about 30 years before Atlis unified (FUN FACT: the couple in Scrapper are actually the parents of the guy who becomes the first king of Atlis ~now you know~), while TBaHB occurs like 200 years later.

Here are links:
"The Beast and Her Beauty" (a retelling of Cinderella AND Beauty & the Beast because I'm cool like that) 
"Scrapper" (a retelling of Allerleiruah, which is my favorite fairy tale and if given the chance, I would publish the five retellings I've done of it, but no one wants to read that because the original fairy tale is creepy af)

tldr; please enjoy this treat, because at the pace I'm writing As the King, I'm not going to publish anything for another 2 years.

you're welcome.


And nope, definitely not going to apologize for the 100% Flash related gifs in this post.
(you're welcooooome)

Superman

This episode has been brought to you by a bottle of Riesling So, movie #8 was Sydney White No need to worry, I brought it Genres: Some Geekery, Amanda Bynes, Fairytale Highlights: Amanda Bynes not crazy all the sneaky geekery references awkwardly based off Snow White Lowlights: They could've made her SUCH a geek her hair. the whole movie. There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead. Still, it's cute. anyway, onto tonight's main attraction (attractive man whaaaaat) SUPERMAN   Genres: Superhero, Action, Fangirl ...does the Fangirl genre count if I'm the only fangirl? yes. So, this is the story of Kal-El, who was sent to earth as a wee babe because his native home of Krypton was about to BLOW THE HECK UP. He is adopted by a possible Minnesotan (Jonathan Kent, I'm l...

Magic Carpet

As it turns out, in Andria, three witches control the magical shenanigans that always seem to be happening. Is it super weird to have them travel by magic carpet? Brooms just seem ridiculously inconvenient, not to mention uncomfortable, and really not practical for traveling long distances. I mean, not like a magic carpet's super practical either.

Day 12 whaaaaat~!

So! Almost halfway there! Exciting, exciting. Um, I've been slacking with the writing. I have written every day, which was part of my goal, so I'm not too heartbroken over it. ummmmmmmmmmmm yup. Not much else to report there. This fellow looks just like my Frank! I could I could talk about my cat for a while, but I am honestly convinced that no one cares about my cat, so I won't :) So yeah, back to NaNoWriMo. The story is still depressing.... I realized that I set myself up for a depressing story. oh! Let's add some more zombies! Because that will make it happier?! Let's talk about what's going on here, because I don't get it. In other news, it's Friday. The ADHD that I didn't have as a child releases itself on Fridays. True fact. In other, other news, I used my college education today! A co-worker asked what an Ulnar Shaft was, and I was like, "oh, please, you know, the ulna." So I ...
