July Monthly Update

July 2026 Recap

July was a wild ride.

I launched a website and a Substack. I began publishing my microfiction serial, The Catalyst Archives, and have kept it going every week. I also completed a 100-word story for Writing Battle (I’ll share it once the results are in) and, fingers crossed, finished an essay and companion short story that will be released in early August.

This month has been filled with beginnings, equal parts terrifying and rewarding. I am looking forward to learning and growing more within these new chapters.

Looking ahead, I plan to spend more time on The Author’s Least Favorite, get a few short stories polished and ready for submission, and start collecting some rejection letters.

Until the next adventure,
