Personal Digest Saturday: January 24 – January 30

Life news this week: 

• I got another acceptance for a piece of writing! At the end of February I'll have an article (about asexual stuff, as usual) published in the zine Drunk Monkeys. It's pretty cool.
• I got interviewed by Iris at The Varsity, which will be published the week before Valentine's Day, haha.
• Finished editing my novel Finding Mulligan and am now sharing it with lovely CP Heather.
• Started writing again on Bad Fairy 2. It's kinda slow going because I stopped at a particularly difficult part. But it'll grind into gear probably this weekend.
• Jeaux Day involved a weird restaurant visit that we'd never tried before. It's a smokehouse called 4 Rivers. They put your food right onto the tray instead of on a plate, and the tables are cafeteria seating--like, long tables where you have to be next to strangers. Haha. I ate okra there for the first time. It tasted okay. We saw the season finale of Galavant.

New reviews of my book:

• Madeline on Goodreads gave my book four stars.

Places featured:

• The Asexuality Blog recommends my book to a follower.

Reading progress:

• Completed reading: Of Goddess Born by J.C. Fann. Four-star review.
• Currently reading: Breaking the Ice by Gail Nall.

New singing performances:

Here I'm singing "Adia" by Sarah McLachlan. I recorded this song a long time ago but that was before I had the better equipment and upgraded account.


 
New drawings:

Webcomic Negative One Issue 0507: "The Easy Answer."





New videos:

Here's Letters to an Asexual #24, which is about asexual characters (and addresses someone's comment that suggests there's no reason for us to need/want them).
