Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51: Still need to take up comments and revise.
Persephone (probably not its real name): More words, read an interview with Sarah Monette who said "minimum 50 words per day on writing days." That's a goal I can get into, and so low it got me to open my manuscript on a not normally writing day. And then somehow I wound up writing 400 words and progressing the story, using some scraps I'd had hanging around and progressing plot and character.
Short Stories: Maybe my process is just ridiculously slow? I worked on the same one as last month, quite a lot actually. I feel like I'm just working on this to have something to post on OWW, and maybe that's not a good reason.

Knitting
- Tay Tartan cardigan (Martin Storey). Started the month with just the finishing to do. Sewed the shoulders (I may hate Martin Storey shoulders!), did the button band/neck edging, sewed in some danglers. There are tons to go.
- Cathar (self). Started the month with 3/4 of the body edging done, thinking about starting again with smaller needles. Did not do that, just kept going, almost done with the body edging.
- Lotus (Norah Gaughan). Started the month with just the seaming and the back insert to go. Finished.
- Sock yarn hoodie (self). The purpose of this project (other than to get a cool hoodie since the one I wear all the time is a little beat-up) is to use up some partial balls of sock yarn. It's a 2-row stripe, four colors rotating. I'm starting at the top. I've done the hood basically.
- Practice hoodie. I finished this a couple of years ago but didn't like the shape of the hood, so I took it out and did it again. Much better.
Sashiko project: Meant to work on this, but never did.
