Weekly Round-Up
Oct. 2nd, 2016 11:34 pmWow. How did it get to be Sunday? I spent the entirety of Friday writing a new story, and am pleased as punch to say the wordcount for the day stands at 9,221 words. That’s a personal best. It also explains why the last two days passed in a haze of pain and recovery. (Chronic illness does not forgive marathon writing sessions, just FYI.)
Things that I wrote:
Neil Gaiman’s “Troll Bridge,” illustrated by Colleen Doran, over at Nerdspan.
Things that I read:
“These 100-Year-Old Colour Portraits of New York Immigrants Reveal Incredible Outfits,” by Matthew Tucker over at BuzzFeed, contains some insightful photographs and great cultural clothing information.
“Photographers Upset by ‘Ask First’ Stickers at BDSM Folsom Street Fair” by DL Cade at PetaPixel, in which photographers behave badly and are rightly advised to rethink their jerkery.
“What Nobody Tells You About Self-Care“, by Mawiyah Patten over at The Mighty, being full of some good points (mostly about self-care in the face of depression and anxiety, but some points also work for people with chronic illness).
Things that look like me:
I didn’t do a new drawing for Whiteboard Weirdness this week because I’m enjoying having Deadpool on my fridge way too much. Instead, I’m celebrating the advent of October with the return of the Other Deborah over at Twitter. This portrait of the Other Me was done by the excellent Alexa Bosy!
Also, check out the GeekDame banner above! It’s been tricked out for the season by the always delightful Lorraine Schleter!
Things that I’m excited about:
Click the pics if you fancy purchasing any of the above! I get a modest kickback from Amazon if you do.
