Blurbing is the worst.
That delicate balance between seeding expectations and not giving anything away...
Ugh.

Why am I so tired?
Let's see...
Today I:
- finished a dialect overhaul
- checked every transition
- made a map of remaining potential cuts
- checked continuity
- drafted a new synopsis
- drafted a new blurb
- glared at the last 7 chapters
It's progress.

After another hardcore weekend of editing, the first three chapters are finally feeling airtight.
The remainder of the book is also coming along with finalized vocab, capitalization, and continuity checks.

Stumbled across it ages ago and found it in my wishlist, currently free for members.
Very easy listening, and a totally fresh narrative!

2am, a year into editing, and the brain suddenly decides to ask:
But does this story even neeeed a con-lang?
The answer, of course, is yes. It's there because it's deeply embedded in the culture and hierarchy.
But 2am editor brain is a bully.

Spends 30 hours editing my novel and still not done.
My brain 24 hrs later:
But what if we re-tell the Mahabharata in a way it has never been done before that would speak to a modern, global audience and be so marketable the agents will drool...?

I don't live in the U.S. But I think this is so great, I'm gonna rain cookies on my U.S. friends.
Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Yesterday, I came across this (I assume) placeholder line:
The emotion in Sandhrin was like the buried roots of a stump; something everyone knows must be alive and powerful deep down because the stump exists.

I've just realized that #Bridgerton is an excellent visual reference for Melanie Rawn's Exiles!
It's a shame the odds of a The Ruins of Ambrai adaptation are so low... It could easily stand alone.

I periodically go down the Melanie Rawn Exiles mysteries rabbit hole, but today I made several breakthroughs.
Correct or not, I've come up with enough theories to fill in the mysteries and finish The Captal's Tower myself at this point! 🤣
Wish I had someone to bounce them off. So, here's a thread.

Been real quiet lately. Honestly, this summer has just been brutal on my health. Been either scrambling to complete tasks, sleeping, or coughing up my lungs with flu. ><
Hoping to be back in the Bluesky swing come Autumn.
