Not Exactly Lulling. I received several nudges last week, reminding me that I missed updates on some of my stories. This happens periodically, and it’s nothing to worry about. I usually try to “write ahead” so I can post chapters regularly, but I’ve caught up to myself. No reserves. And rather busy with Bk6 at the moment. Also I tend to pile a lot into November (word sprints, festive plans, seasonal mailings, extra shopping, family stuff) so I can take it easy in December. Which means … patchy updates for a while.
Speaking of seasonal mailings, I’ve revealed the Quarterly Art Card for December over on Patreon. This winter scene will round out a collection of four commissions by Lara Pickle for the first four short stories in Songs of the Amaranthine. “The Dark” features a moment in Marked by Stars, and it turned out very pretty, since it’s printed on pearlescent paper. (The snow & sky, they shine!)
If you want to get in on these quarterly mailings (and so many other perks), check out my Patreon, where I appreciate my supporters & try to keep things interesting. ::twinkle::

FORTHRIGHT 
Beautiful art, as always. Thank you for the update. I think people are more skittish now and let the worry prompt us to nudge writers and artists we’re familiar with. Hoping you’re doing well. – Kawaii Girl

This has truly been a rough month for me. I can’t imagine having all the other things going on that you are juggling. I’m always happy when I see a post from you. Sometimes I don’t get to them right away, sometimes not for days. Thanks for the joy you bring to me and others. Hugs to you Forthy ❤️

This art is called “The Dark” and it depicts a scene from Marked by Stars aka Songs of the Amaranthine #1 ? I only ask because I think you call it “The Dance” by accident later on in the post.

Thank you for the update. Glad it is normal Life that has your posts patchy. I was worrying about someone being ill, because that has happened too many times.
Happy Thanksgiving to Ms. Forthright and everyone else.
