Writing a chapter of a new book today and made myself cry for the first time while writing. There’s been chills and stinging eyes before, but full on tears is new.

Enjoyed the latest #Peacemaker, been waiting for more Vigilante and finally got some. Best character. Here’s hoping for even more next week. Also excited to hear some #Dynazty for the end credits.

Brainstorming for books 3 and 4 these last few days and it’s been killing my mood. My characters are all going to go through such horrible things.

Two books in progress and didn’t use “flurry” once. I’m sure there’s spots I probably should have used it but instead repeated some other word for the twentieth time.

I love my Halloween Playlist so much that I've started listening to it early. Not the spookiest song on there, outside of the creepy phone call opening, but I've got it stuck on loop in my head. music.apple.com/us/song/the-...

I got this, one of my favorite exchanges in my book.

“Yes, it was. You and your friend left right before the fourth nighttime bell. I waited. Alexis showed up around fifth bell. We waited. At midnight, we decided you weren’t coming, so we went on without you.”
“Without me? So you were planning on f***ing us both.”
“Yes,” Emmrich sighs. “Was that not obvious?” He
A blaze of indignation scorches my ribs. “What if I didn’t want to share?”
“Then you got your wish.”

The Academy dormitory looms before me, completely drained of its color. The bricks, once a deep red, have long since faded to a dull, lifeless gray.

I’m working on a romantasy duology, nervously awaiting feedback from beta readers and my editor and questioning all my decisions.

Miserable day of sleep deprivation, imposter syndrome, tooth pain, reading the news, and a demanding corgi all colliding.

This is him, whining at me to let him out for the tenth time in as many minutes so he can check on a squirrel.

I won't be looking for any more beta readers until late November or so, until after I tackle revisions from the editor. But if you're interested then, or want to be an ARC reader, I can keep you in mind.

My kids asked why I spend so much time writing. I told them I wrote 220k words this year, I couldn’t do that if I didn’t spend a lot of time on it.

Then they asked how many pictures I made for it. None. They laughed and said no one would want to read that.

Today's weird sentence I never expected to write: I'm not sure why his vision is getting distorted by her tongue up his nose.

Using ProWritingAid's chapter critique, cracked up when I read this: The minor characters, such as the woman at the tavern and the horse, are also given distinct personalities. #writing #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WritersLife #CreativeWriting

Just finished reading through my first draft of book 2, all marked up with revisions to make before sending it to my editor! #writing

Been rewatching #DegrassiTNG - loved this show back in the day, but I forgot that the first season was mostly about Emma and Ashley. Gotta wait till season two for all the interesting characters.

#ParentingMilestone - kids are finally old enough to hire a 13-year-old to babysit. Hooray!

Had planned on spending the day finding more plot holes in book 2, but ended up at a beach with a bunch of crazy forts instead. Does it make sense for fae to live in houses like this? #beach #summer #adventure

I went into #FantasticFourFirstSteps cautiously optimistic. Wasn’t a fan of the casting (No one will ever top Ioan Gruffudd and Chris Evans for me). Ended up really liking it. Great aesthetic. I was especially happy to see the story mostly focused on Sue and Johnny.

Latest book read - A Marvellous Light by @freyamarske.bsky.social
Beautiful prose, spent the entire time jealous of her writing. Great chemistry between the characters, fun spice, and a creative magic system.
