Weekly Check-In #2!

Weekly Check-In #2!

How are you doing? Is the Cornley Crew cooperating with your story ideas, or are they putting up a fight?

Do you want these weekly check-ins to be an ongoing thing during the event, or would you rather just be left alone to write?

These are simply meant as a lighthearted way to talk about your progress, maybe tease your story, or maybe just vent a bit about your struggles if that’s what you want.

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

The Most Lamentable Tragedy of the Prince of England and His Long Lost Twin Brother, Prince Regent of France and the Problems Therein Experienced by All When they came to Know of One Another after a Battle (by Simon Shakespeare, cousin to the famous Colin Shakespeare)

6,129 stitches, 43 colours, and 50 hours, 39 minutes, 46 seconds (I tracked it)

The stitching is done!! I still need to iron it and finish it (I might frame it - I’d prefer to hoop it but it’s nearly 9” tall so I’d need to find a big enough hoop for that)

spare thought for the enslaved shepherds in greek mythology/tragedy who rescue the exposed doom babies... sometimes they know why the baby was left to die, sometimes they don't. they just — it's a baby. no one else wants it. you can't leave it here. what harm could it do. it's a baby. you want it to live. it's a baby
