February 2026 Updates

[hongyueg]

Hi, everyone! I hope your February has been treating you kindly. My updates for this month are below.

• I participated in the Silmarillion Writers’ Guild’s February instadrabbling session, which was a lot of fun. It took me back to high school when I participated in a teen writers workshop at my local library, and we worked on and shared prompt-based writing together. I wrote a few Silmarillion drabbles that you can find here.


• I also have been doing a lot of reading, which has been nice. I mentioned in my January updates that I joined a couple of book clubs, and I went to both of their first meetings and had a pleasant time. 

Thank you for reading my updates! You are welcome to share your fanfic and reading updates in the comments. This month, I encourage you to support James Goebel and Ashley Phil’s fundraiser to support LGBTIQ refugees in Eastern Africa (vetted here). I also encourage you to support The Florence Project, which offers free legal and social services to detained immigrants in Arizona, and The Sameer Project’s Ramadan Campaign. For more resources and organizations to support, please look here.
