Walking the dogs after work. Not what I’d expect to see on a Monday 😄🌈🌈

After spending most of the night to paint the guest bathroom, I sat in our comfy chase in the library and my golden came to chill with me until he fell asleep and started snoring like an old lumberjack 😴🥱

For no reason, randomly remembered this AM how fantastic the Hulu show, “The Booth At The End” is. One of the best versions of a story playing out entirely in a “telling” structure but is still riveting. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet. #writingcommunity

LOVING my new Moft iPad origami cover. I don’t usually fall for social media ads, but I was an easy mark for the marketing. No regrets! It places my iPad screen higher for easier reading as I write my stories. (Not an ad, just happy about it) #WritingCommunity

The absolute sass from my golden as he looks off annoyed by the hall fence I had to build because he and his brother had a little too much fun in the living room one too many times 🛠️🦮😆

I often wonder why my Scrivener program is organized so chaotically, and then I look at my garage workshop. The problem may not lie with the Scrivener program 😄🤡 #writingcommunity

You know you’re getting older when a new pocket hole jig is as exciting to me as a new video game system ⚒️😄

Any other introverts on here that took most of your life to learn how to socialize well IRL social situations, only then to try to engage online with other authors and feel like none of those skills cross-over & just feel like a skill-less introvert again 🙋🏻‍♂️ #WritingCommunity

When Draven—the deleted villain of a fantasy book—finds himself in a library of forgotten stories, he teams up with the reluctant ghost librarian to travel to the real world, find his author, and convince them to rewrite his story before he fades out of existence.

A book cover of “Let Me Be Your Villain” with the tropes around it: grumpy ghost librarian, MM romance, asshole hero antagonist, sunshine villain protagonist, cozy fantasy, magic library, book characters escaping to the real world.
