A Writing We Have Been...

So I've practically vanished from the face of this blog. Isn't that sad? Well, yes. Yes and no. No, because while I have been absent here, my true writing window has only ever expanded in the real world.

For starters, I now have a job, so that leaves me with less creative time at home. However, away from home and its distractions, I've been able to think through many plot holes and concepts of my novel in progress, Moonscript.

Yes, I've started a third draft of Moonscipt! Oh, how it needed it, dear readers, I can assure you of that. With help from a lovely friend and kindred writing spirit, I've been giving it an exciting makeover, and with that has come...well...more ideas for more stories....

Also, I'm taking another art term at MSOA, so that means more exciting artwork to come! :) Say, have you seen my art site yet? I still have not opened commissions, but I hope to get that service prepared within the next few months. https://hsjwilliams.wordpress.com/

And in various other news, I am working on my Sleeping Beauty Retelling for the Five Enchanted Roses contest! If you didn't see the little sneak peak blurb on Anne Elisabeth's site, here it is!

Winter has outlived her time in the fey world, but Spring has never woken to bring her gentle thaw. For the mortal kingdom of Melstarr, spring has lasted far too long. When the lonely princess discovers a golden thread leading through the castle, could it be the path to a home she has never known?

OPENING LINES:

A baby's birth should be remembered with great gladness. But the kingdom of Melstarr generally agreed that the weather had turned most sour since about the time Princess Avia had come into the world some fifteen years ago. Before then, the land had been famed for its hot, clear-sky summers and snowy cold winters. Since then, the sky threatened rain more often than not and humidity had risen to an alarming degree.
