So, naturally, I have decided I want to learn Russian. Why Russian? Because with all the languages I speak, none use Cyrillic, and Russian seems to have more resources available for learning.  As tempting as it is for me to dive headfirst into something more obscure, if learning Icelandic taught me anything, it's...]]></description><link>https://www.paigewritesscifi.com/post/as-if-i-don-t-have-enough-to-do</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6a3200fc8daac1bb1a8c28</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 17:08:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_15fea59ee8354aad9e52b031bf00d5a4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Paige Graffunder</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Alter Ego is Born]]></title><description><![CDATA[As thoughts of the spicy book took over my life, and I found myself dedicating more time to it than I was to editing Anais Ascendant, (I KNOW I AM SORRY) I came to two realizations. First, I really can't publish this under my name. And Second, I need a good pseudonym. So, allow me to introduce you to Remedy Ryatt. What does this mean? Not much for anyone other than me. For me it means that I am going to do twice the amount of work. Keeping up with this blog, plus her blog, my social media,...]]></description><link>https://www.paigewritesscifi.com/post/an-alter-ego-is-born</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a57bfcd01393a99905441d3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:23:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_7fe998ccd7464561b0efb0e4e771b856~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Paige Graffunder</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[So Far This Year]]></title><description><![CDATA[I read a lot. I feel like most writers do. Even with that being the case, I feel like, in general, I read more than most. There are always one or two months of the year where I don't read as much as I do in all the other months. That month is usually May. I travel a lot in May; there are two festivals I go to every year on opposite sides of the country, so my opportunity to read is less than usual. At the end of every month, I usually do a wrap-up of all the books I read that month on my...]]></description><link>https://www.paigewritesscifi.com/post/so-far-this-year</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4fd6cac6874e38d2bc3f34</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2026 17:54:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_af4603593316476b9f5f66f9d9c05bf7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Paige Graffunder</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Horizons]]></title><description><![CDATA[I have been working on something new. I am still plugging away at Anais Ascendent, but I find that this new project is dominating the majority of my creative headspace. There are several problems with this. First and foremost, I have been promising the sequel to Anais Eternal for five years, and my failure to deliver to date has been a point of contention. It is still coming, I promise! The writing is mostly done; I am just working it over before it goes off to the editor. Adding some details...]]></description><link>https://www.paigewritesscifi.com/post/new-horizons</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a48afb8fa58f0a255d0c056</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 07:18:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_7062754d6f4b6866303755~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Paige Graffunder</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[One More Time With Feeling]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ok, this is not the first time that I have attempted a blog or a newsletter, but to be completely transparent I am really bad at this kind of thing. I struggle to produce content on any kind of timeline. Much to the chagrin of my lovely readers who have now been waiting five years for the second Anais book. It's coming folks I promise! All of that aside, though I am terrible with creative deadlines, and a notorious flake, I am also a hopeless optimist. So here I am trying again.
