TiF Around Town…
A day late but we are HERE! Hope you enjoy the stories from the past week listed above. I have been a bit doo-lally the past couple days so while I’m sure there is plenty of news to share (and trust me there is cause there always is) I’m going to give myself and my brain a break for today and come back next Monday with a whole new VIBE! Cause you know me, I always have things cookin’ over here!
I will share that I’ve been trying out some cozy gaming lately. I’m working on my Animal Crossing New Horizons island, cleverly called Readview Island. Well, I say “cleverly” but it’s only if you get it (which you probably won’t so don’t try!). But I’ve also gone ahead and purchased Tiny Bookshop too! Both games I will be Live Streaming on my secret covert Twitch Channel and then uploading to my equally secret and equally covert Youtube Channel. You can find me by searching for my new gaming name: Cozy E. I needed cozy in my life because my IRL has rendered me exhausted most days!
Now, onto some news worth noting:
All events listed below can also be found on our Calendar of Events page.
Inanimate Objects [A TiF Disruption Event] - Monday, September 15th to Wednesday, October 15th - The next TiF Press writing event is happening and if you see what’s happening with the Eye See You event, then you’ll want to get in on this one! As per usual you can opt to enter the contest or just write a story to participate in the event which is happening on Friday, October 31st for Halloween. More information such as word count length, theme, and submissions link as well as judges and sponsors will be announced on September 15th!
