Chicken. Headless. Editing. You’ll wanna see this.

People are starting to wonder about me, I know. Where's Courtney? Why hasn't she been around Twitter? Where are her cramazing blog posts? What's she been up to? Well, my dear inklings, I have been up to exactly one thing....

People are starting to wonder about me, I know. Where’s Courtney? Why hasn’t she been around Twitter? Where are her cramazing blog posts? What’s she been up to?

Well, my dear inklings, I have been up to exactly one thing:

EDITING.

Specifically, I’ve been editing:

  • Joshua Unruh‘s first TEEN Agents novel,
  • Aaron Pogue‘s next fantasy novel, The Dragonswarm,
  • my own unfinished, low sci-fi NaNoWriMo novel Elevator People (working title)
  • and my own short story “Out of the Darkness” for next month’s short story collection A Consortium of Worlds, Vol. 1, Winter Issue.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I am one of those really weird people who loves loves loves editing. I am one of those weird people who thinks editing is fun. But really…right now…after having done nothing writerly except edit for a week before I caught the Plague *and* since I recovered from the Plague last week….

I.
Am.
Spent.

And I feel like this:

If you need me, I’ll be cleaning my house and complaining that I’m not working on my unfinished, low sci-fi NaNoWriMo novel Elevator People (working title). ; )

P.S. Just for the record, I love the works I’ve been editing. : )

    I hope you are back to health and relaxed and having plenty of time to write and edit as you please. (I typed about 3 different witty ways to say I hoped you were doing so with your head in tact, and they all came out dirty. So I’m dropping the attempts and just saying, I hope you are no longer decapitated.) 😉

      Well, I’d like to say that dirty isms *never* appear on my blog, but–

      No, I’m lying. I wouldn’t like to say that at all, even if it were true. ; )

      The writing time hasn’t quite returned yet, but I’m definitely feeling better, and the husband is home now, so indeed, I am no longer decapitated! Life threatens to return to normal passing soon, and I am grateful. Thank you, Becca. : )

Front cover of a novel. Title and author's name in white font with serifs, all CAPS. Title: The Priestess Murders. Author: Courtney Cantrell. The image depicts a gnarled tree reaching from the bottom left corner up the left side and across the top half of the image. The tree is silhouetted against a star-spangled, dark blue night sky. In the background (lower third of image) are leafy, densely growing trees dimly lit by what might be moonlight (light source not shown). In the center of the image is a honeybee viewed from above. The bee glows a pale gold and is surrounded by a nimbus if pale gold light. The bee also exudes rays of pale gold light reaching up and down and left and right. A gash is torn in the bee's thorax, and red blood trickles from the wound. Novel published October 2025.
