Hello folks, welcome to the twelfth (12th) writing club update. Just to pick a random book off of my shelf, chapter 12 of Foucault’s Pendumul Umberto Eco begins with

Sub umbra alarum taurum

Which apropos of the topic of that book, is the Rosicrucian motto. Something about being under the protection of God’s wings–anyway, among other things, they were like a religious puzzle group that loved leaving little hints for fellow obsessives to follow.

Speaking of obsessed brainiacs…!

As always, all are welcome to participate in the writing club, but these are our current roster of regular participants. Those who do battle against the great enemy indolence, by their pens, pencils, or keyboards. I look forward to hearing your updates!

    Well, summer is hardcore SUCKING here […] so I got the chance to write a bit more.

    Hahahaha, funny how these two so often go together.

    Sounds like you had a good month. Also great to hear about that Solarpunk Seed Library getting some love! It’s such a cool idea.

    I can’t remember our last conversation in detail–what’s keeping you from editing that fantasy story? Not to judge, your worst months are more productive than my best ones haha. I know it goes a bit beyond the scope of this group, but I’m wondering if this is something the writing club might be able to take a look at in more detail - like is there are particular part that’s giving you trouble?

      I think it’s because it’s an old story that I wrote in 2021-22 and I edited/reviewed it so many times that I just can’t motivate myself to edit it on my own again. It would be a lot easier if I got someone that followed me through the process because it would feel like I’m not entering the echo chamber again, but maybe that part will begin next month (hopefully!)
