Parting is such sweet sorrow

Posted by Laurel Garver on Monday, August 01, 2011 8 comments
The last lazy, hazy days of summer are here and what better time for the muse to arrive with a shiny new idea requiring tons of research AND an insight that has unstuck a shelved project? While the ideas are flowing well, it seems a good time to take a break from blogging. I plan to check in a few times in August--a mid-month (8/15) and month-end (8/31) report.

This hiatus means that I won't be editing new editions of the fan fiction Hogwarts underground newspaper Thestral Gazette until September. If you're hankering for Harry Potter fun, do check out the newspaper's archive site: THESTRAL GAZETTE. We have three months' worth of hilarious weekly posts available for your reading pleasure.

I'll be checking in regularly on Facebook, so if you haven't yet friended me, please do. I believe that clicking my Facebook badge on the right will facilitate the connection.

Happy August!
