Persephone (probably not its real name) 

 Wrote part of a back story short story for it. 

Short Story

There's a little list of stories to finish pinned on my wall. I chose one, chose a market, read the story, and decided I could totally take 600 words out of this for it to fit into that market. Then I decided to clarify the setting, and this added 400 words. The main character needed a personality; adding this didn't actually make the thing longer. I looked at the original market again and realized it wanted 500 words less than I was aiming for. So now I'm 1500 over. 

And I wrote a 2000-word thing that I haven't looked at since that I think is awesome, but it might be half-baked, who knows.

Knitting

Aberdeen Argyll (Martin Storey). Started the month with most of the body done. Finished that, and the sleeves. The steeks are cut, I just have to seam and block.  
Neldoreth socks. Finished. 
Masquerade (Louisa Harding). Started all the pieces, because I'm using about 50 shades of tapestry yarn for the contrast color, and I want to manage that the same on all pieces.  

I also worked on my sashiko sampler.
