#Dogwood2 draft is so clean (in terms of prose and dev edits) it might only take me a week to line edit, and then one more final pass. I budgeted a month for this but it'll be much less than that.
Debating if I should start rewriting #dogwood4 sooner than January.

So because it's the season for it, and because I keep forgetting they're up on my site, a couple of non-Argentum short stories for you.
First off, a tale of a witch and a summer fire: saranadosfiction.com/2020/05/25/s...
And then winter's chill, and wolves: saranadosfiction.com/2023/08/04/t...
if you saw the pilot launch of this one over the weekend, forgive me for doing an exact replica today, i just wanted to get something out on a weekday π
Gonna have to read a lot of indie books a lot faster if I'm going to do a bookshout every day but it's really good practice for making a quick graphic.
You think I'd show my own books the same attention. π«ͺ

Now through the end of the year my only goal is to line edit and polish #Dogwood2.
I'm taking a small break in December and then doing the last big surge toward finishing the series.
#Dogwood2 took 4.5 months to hand-rewrite so I hope I'm giving myself enough of a window for #4.
Don't panic #pretendpanel - "I dunno" is an acceptable response to this (though don't feel like you need to post that!). But for those of you who wanna gush about it...
October 24th: What comes next after current WIP/recent release? Why that?

so a CUTE #bookshout rec has gotta be @5feetofredfury.bsky.social 's Poison and Opium series! The plot deals with some heavy/dark themes but that just makes the friendship and budding romance between Daisuke and Obito that much sweeter/cuter.ππ₯°

Local fantasy author, Aud Connelly, must reckon with the fact that she hasn't read much with afterlife/underworld world building. π«ͺ
She will be trawling for suggestions in the other responses.

It's weird to be at the point in my writing career where I look at the fact that #Dogwood4 zero draft is a total wreck and like 20k shorter than the other 3 books and just ... Not be worried lol.
Like I've already done this three* times. I've got this.
(I think #Dogwood2 was still in worse shape)
also I did the funky lil link thing yay!! Did you know. I have an archive Discord!
It functions sort of like a Patreon as all channels are reacts only, but if you'd like notifs for when I stream, extra story snips, blog posts, and art, it's all in one place!
For me, it has to be any scene with Ms Pumpkin from Seasons of War by Lindsay French. This dystopian book is heavy-hitting, with some super dark scenes, but the joy and lightness the cat brought to both the character and me as a reader made up for its heartbreak
