What the title says. It's happening - Seashell is going to be a print book.
I guess it's a good time to tell everyone, because I've already started doing the layout. In fact I'm mostly finished formatting, if not content writing and editing, the interior matter for the first edition I plan to print.

"Whoa whoa whoa," I can hear you now. "First edition you plan? As in, there's gonna be more than one version?"

I hope you like Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, because that's what you're getting.

It's that time again... STORY TIME!

Coming later today / tonight, probably.

And, uh... whew. It's something. Was a writeoff entry, like so many of my short story publications these days started off.

Will post again when it drops.

Friday. Day 1.

I'm back from Everfree Northwest!

I don't really do a lot of these "state of the author" posts, and I probably should do them more. They do help with keeping in touch with the community at large, don't they? At least, the self-selected subset of it that follows me, so you know, probably the ones who actually want to read these kinds of things.

Written way back in 2017 for the "TBD" writeoff event, this one was originally a mere 750 word piece (it was a minific writeoff).

Now edited and expanded, and still pretty short but I think (I hope?) much better for having more room to sprawl and really elaborate the thoughts it contains, this little tale of Trixie is finally up here on FimFiction:
