Sesshoume slept little, prowled often, and relished a thousand Continue reading
The latest volume of The Ancient Magus’ Bride by Kore Yamazaki arrived with a bonus. The special booklet contains a sweet little side story. This series continues to enthrall me with its art and storytelling. On a related note, the first episode of an anime is currently available on Crunchyroll. I indulged my curiosity and was mildly surprised that Continue reading

In the footer of updates to my drabble-based stories, I record the original posting date, the writing prompt, and the word count. At the moment, I’m gearing up to continue Savvy, a quirky tropical AU featuring Kouga and Kagome. Continue reading
For all those who staunchly refuse to begin a story until the author marks it complete … have at it! Lord Charming‘s tale is all told! ::twinkle::
Five chapters left. And I know what needs to happen in each. But the simultaneous culmination and climax of a tale always turns me into a dithering emotional wreck. Saying goodbye to a story is Hard, and not only because so many of you are trusting me to End Well. I’m gonna miss Lord Charming, too! ::wibble::
I’m regularly asked about my writing process. In a recent comment, Anil asked a series of questions. Here are my responses:
Anil: I was wondering if you pre-write your material in advance, or schedule your writing sessions?
Forthy: This sounds wishy-washy, but it really depends. Unless an author lands a serial gig, our original stories don’t see the light of day until we have a completed manuscript. So I do a whole lot of pre-writing. Fandom is a refreshing exception. I usually Continue reading
In answer to recent inquiries…
Yes, Clumsy is on a short break. The lapse in updates was an unintentional consequence of holiday busyness (which was why I never made any official announcement). Lord Charming is experiencing a similar lull while I’m working out my writing schedule for 2017. These two stories will resume next week.
As always, thank you for your patience! ::twinkle::

Chapter 67: Rallying her Resources
Enough. Sesshoume was done sitting back, deferring, enduring. Continue reading
Last night, I finished the 24th (“final”) volume of Pandora Hearts, so I’m a little on the emotionally wrung out side. Amazing story. Intriguing twists. Endearing characters. I’m quite attached … so I was happy to discover that there’s a final-final volume I need to nab (Vol. 24+1) and what looks like a prequel (Pandora Hearts: Caucus Race) and three official guides that promise more art and side stories. I really must complete my collection.
On a related note, I have the first volume in Jun Mochizuki’s next series on pre-order. Volume 1 of A Case Study of Vanitas is due to release in English on December 5, 2016. I’m in!
Offering the chance to shout-out if you participated in NaNoWriMo this year. Even if you didn’t “win,” consider yourself pelted by confetti and twinkles! Every word that makes it onto the page is progress. Well done, fellow writers!
