Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

Still no real writerly ways. It's too goddamn hot to think. (it was over 90 by 10 AM and feels like 108 thanks to the humidity). So all I'll say is it's Camp Nano and I'll be in the basement keeping cool and writing.

I'm working on two projects. One is a post apocalyptic solarpunk set in Three Lakes Wisconsin where the humans are trying to learn to live sustainably after a century of oppression, enslavement and genetic tampering by an alien race. THis one is m/m. I'm also writing a steampunk ghost story set in Newport RI with a female lead under my own name. If anyone wants to beta read either, let me know. I'd be happy to exchange stories.
