Welcome to the 26th writing club update!

I hope everyone has been having a pleasant late summer. The weather here has been a mix of rain and sunshine back and forth, in an almost 50/50 mix that I don’t recall seeing for years. It’s been great for the vegetables, anyway.

To quote from previous entries:

To anyone stumbling upon this post and wondering about the rules – there really aren’t any! This is a club for mostly the same regulars and semi-regulars, but visitors are encouraged to comment on writing, or writing adjacent, updates or share their own. The idea is to set a goal for yourself and try to achieve it by the next month’s update. :)

Welcome to the 23nd writing club update! The number twenty-three is one of those numbers that contains a clearly incrementing sequence, so always satisfying to type on a keyboard–you can kind of roll your fingers over the number keys: 23 23 123 1234 (that kind of thing).

Speaking of satisfying to type, I hope everyone has had at least two or three great writing experiences this month!

On to weather, Spring is really happening here finally, after a bit of an extended chilly period. So that’s always fun.

Welcome to the 22nd writing club update. Spoken aloud in English “twenty-two” or “two two” or “tutu” reminds us that anything can be made cutesie or twee, even a harsh number like 22. And shouldn’t that give all some hope for a cuter future?

Things have been getting warmer here, but still unusually cool, which suits me just fine. It’s lovely bike riding weather.

To any new eyes, this is a monthly writing club where we share progress on our writing related projects and general goings-ons. Everyone is free to participate either by commenting on others’ work, or by sharing their own goals and/or achievements.

Welcome to the 21st writing club update. On pondering this number, I’m reminded that we are currently in the 21st century according to the Gregorian calendar, and that this will be the only century I’ll really get to know. But there have been at least 20 other of these things (and I’m told perhaps even more), so that might give one pause / perspective.

My region has been unusually cold for March, which though it’s unexpected, I’ve been trying to enjoy it. Let some of the last cold into my bones so I can bring up the memory when I’m too hot, later this summer.

So this is the monthlyish writing club update where regular participants are encouraged to share progress on their monthly goals and goings-ons. Anyone is welcome to chime in with their own happenings, or comments on each others happenings.

Welcome to the 20th writing club update! I can’t let the twentieth such club pass without giving props to that great generative tool to so many impromptu stories: the d20 die. How many stories, written or oral, have started from a group of friends gathering to tell a collaborative story–literally rolling with what chance gives them…

Speaking about rolling with what life gives you, some astute members and visitors (welcome!) with functioning calendars may notice that it is actually March, but I maintain real time does not resume until Sunday has finished. So in this liminal place of the week-end-almost, let us take stock of the year so far, and our hopes the coming months.

Welcome to the 19th writing club update, and first update of the new year! Continuing with my numerical tie-ins that no one asked for and which I refuse to give up, XIX is the number of The Sun card in the tarot deck. It’s currently a blistering winter here, so a kiss of sunshine sounds lovely.

Anyway, according to Wikipedia, this card is “often seen as a sign of achievement and authentic self-expression” which sounds great for writing, so whether you put any truck in tarot, you could do worse than to head into the rest of the year with that thought.

I hope you’ve all had a brilliant year so far, but even if you haven’t (maybe especially so) I want to hear from you. That goes for any passersby: feel free to chime in with your thoughts or writerly projects.
