Le Guin wrote a dozen or so picture books in her career, and several of them are out of print, including this one about a spider who spins artistic webs. I was able to determine that a library about an hour away from me has a copy, so I took a field trip. I couldn't check the book out because I'm not a resident, but since it's a picture book, I just read it, covertly took some photos, and then left.

The story is plainly an allegory for the life of an artist and her struggle to balance creative fulfillment, the desire for recognition, and the inconvenient reality that she also has to, like, eat. cut for spoilers, if spoilers for a picture book are a concern )

This book is certainly suggestive of Le Guin's early experiences as a writer and how she may have been feeling about where she was in her career at this time. I'm glad I went out of my way to track it down.

February Wrap-Up / March Goals

2026 GOALS

2026 Total Wordcount Goal : 40,925 / 150,000

2026 Total Writing Days : 52 / 365


FEBRUARY
So I had a few really good days at the end of last month, and was somehow able to keep that momentum rolling through almost the entire month of February. I had about a week in the middle there with houseguests and illness etc etc that my wordcount slipped, but I was hitting 1k+ most days last month, and even had a few days that were 2-3k which is awesome. I only had two days with no words at all. Partly it's due to finally hitting that glorious downhill momentum as we roll into the end of food truck au, and partly because I had no writing time during the day so I've been coming back to the keyboard after my shower instead of heading straight to bed. Turns out, at night with the house dark and quiet and me the only one awake, I can slam out like a twelve hundred words in an hour. Unfortunately it does cut into my sleeping time and it's really not sustainable long term, alas.

February Wrap-Up : I finished the month with 31,078 words which is nothing short of a fucking miracle. I am deliriously happy about how much I wrote this month. A total of 3 WIPs got words, with all words going into 3 Old Guard fics. Not only did I meet my goal of 15k, I basically doubled it.

MARCH
I would love to keep this pace going but we'll see how it shakes out. I don't want to push too hard and burn out, but I also don't want to slow down too much and lose this momentum I've got going. The second half of the month will also be a little challenging due to some anticipated Life Stuff, but we're all just going to do the best we can.

March Wordcount Goal : 25k and I'm aiming a little lower than I did this month because I'm hoping that this is all that food truck au needs to be finished. (Please for the love of god let that be all that food truck au needs to be finished.)

March Fics to Focus On
food truck au : and where last we left, I thought that I would have it done in 75k. It's at 81,420 and I still have 7 chapters that need to be finished. I'm averaging 7-8k per chapter, going with 8k x 7 chapters is 56k, of which I've got 24.5k written already. So, that leaves me just under 25k and hopefully it should go fast because as I said, I've got it all half written already, including the ending, and a lot of what's left is smut which goes pretty quickly. So, I am optimistic that I am bumping the wordcount estimate for the very last time, and this thing will be done soon. Estimated wordcount, 105k.
