How to stay motivated to sit still and keep working 101:

Have a cat decide to sit on you
A month ago, I started a third job (I know, why?!) as an audiobook proofer. And already it's making me a more conscientious narrator! Because seeing all the little mistakes that slip past others makes me more determined to stay alert to all the details in my own manuscripts. Yay for learning!
A great spin-off of the Between world! LOVING the vibes between Luca ("I'm just a happy-go-lucky serial killer, don't mind me!") and Viv ("I woke up done with this, why me")
book one is on special on Amazon for the first time, just in time for the release of book 3! US/UK only

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!
Also, having a bikkie in each hand makes it count as a Balanced Diet!
I just read that series for the first time! I'm actually in the process of going through it again, trying to see what I missed the first time around
Thanks for adding my podcast to your directory!

surprise! Masque is part of a Storybundle with a Fairytale twist!

So if you like slightly steampunk Beauty & the Beast retellings with bloody murder and a nearly-30 protagonist, this is the book and the bundle for you!

Get it here, but only until Oct 11th! storybundle.com/fairytales
You could wait to answer them until next March, at which point your brain will totally believe that it's on time and not a year late?
Animorphs books are getting another rerelease with new covers! It looks like the artist took inspiration from the Thai illustrations, these are some pretty epic morph covers!

Add one more to get the coveted "increasingly inaccurately named trilogy" award!
Today I learned that "coifed" has a synonym! "Quaffed", which means to drink heartily. Unfortunately, the author who used it meant to use the former word, unless someone is doing something veeeeery weird with their hair...

Still, cool learning experience!
Heads up, everyone! All three volumes of DOSA Files are on sale this week! Vol I has three stories that were finalists in the Realm Awards, plus has my very OWN first published short story! And remember, you get a discount on the audio by owning the ebook, so that format works, too!
A beautiful essay on the humanity of storytelling
As a writer, you should be thankful that you've been given this boundless source of inspiration to reference! He's your Muse!
Bonus: I also had fun dressing up as Ms. Frizzle!
Suuuper behind, but here's my haul from the Realm Makers Expo! It was great to meet so many authors and to add so many interesting books to my TBR list. And of course, AMAZING to get third place in the Short Form Audio competition!
What chapter has your favorite scene?

The great thing about recording an anthology is you can actually choose to record chapters out of order! This is especially helpful if you are short on recording time one particular day, so you can skip ahead to the shorter chapter and come back to the long one the next day.
