Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without

So I've signed up for SPN Eldritch again this year:





Sign-ups 2 June until 1 July



No idea what to write for it yet, I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do for Summergen:

I was delighted with the art prompt I got, and I'm pleased with the story once it finally came together. It feels like I've been struggling to just sit down and write for months - I did really well just before Christmas, then seemed to struggle until the last couple of weeks (and with all the family birthdays that fall within it, February's not a great month for finding spare time). I had lots of ideas, but just couldn't seem to sit myself down to actually write them!

My official posting date was 3 March, which Facebook memories reminded me was two years and a day since Evie died, so given the dog theme it seemed fitting to use one of my favourite photos of her as the profile picture for the posting (and this one).

Here, Sam's turned into a dog, but I've also written him as a cat, and a moose!
