For those who aren't aware, I periodically run a workshop called Developing Our Voices, which gathers writers and gives them a chance to get comfortable reading their own work out loud. If anyone is interested in participating in the next one, please DM me, and I'll try to get one scheduled. <3

Hell Itself opened today and released a darkly beautiful story by @deborahldavitt.com, "Reaping Whirlwinds." hellitself.com/reaping-whir... Look for our second story on Friday, September 12!

Writers often advise, "Keep submitting that story till Hell itself won't have it." Well, now there is a magazine called Hell Itself that specializes in those stories that, for whatever reason, don't fit. My story, "Reaping Whirlwinds," is their first publication! hellitself.com/reaping-whir...

I’ve made an update to this situation. open.substack.com/pub/pacornel...

As we hit the 3/4 mark of a very, very long year, I thought I'd celebrate a bit with the stuff I've managed to bring into the world this year.

I told Jason yesterday that I wished I could help with the art process on the comic. You know how you should be careful what you wish for? Hah. I am learning how to use Clip Studio's 3D models to facilitate his art production! This is all new to me, but it's fun!
