Victories

Aime did research for a story about an evilly possessed water heater.

Dylan has published copies of Sand and Blood & Sand and Ash in time for the author signing event.  He got more supporters on Patreon.

Ciuin was asked to do an academic review of a holocaust book by a Romani author.

Education

Devlin Blake offers a list of ways to make your story boring.  If you aren’t writing a bedtime story to help readers fall asleep, then you need to make sure you aren’t doing those things.  Another article is aimed at bloggers, but can be applied to most writing.
