I can honestly say I was holding back tears at a question I've answered so many times over the past months. Maybe I always do...

📣I'm shifting to sharing daily book excerpts!
This helps me polish scenes I'm confident about, and sometimes I'll even post two versions to see which ending feels strongest.
Excited for this approach. Enjoy today's snippet!

Managed to get a lot written today. I've decided for the moment to stop going back and polishing what I have written; I'm just going to keep writing.
I'll worry about polishing after I explore it.

Habs coach Marty St. Louis on going from youth hockey to NHL:
“The youth level it was easy. Just roll the lines, everybody played the PP. It was fun, let’s go. At the NHL level, you gotta be a little bit more calculated. I feel like I’ve come a long way and I’ve got ways to go.”

Managed to get some words down tonight. I won't lie, last night I felt a little worried about where to go next. Had I lost my story?
Glass of sangria, a puff and boom, it all came back.

I live with depression and social anxiety…every day.
Some days I feel invisible.
Other days I wish I could be.
I don’t share this for sympathy.
I share it because we need to make it normal to talk about the things that hurt.
It’s okay to not be okay.
And it’s okay to talk about not being okay 💙🫂

Prologue fleshed out, and very happy with how it lands. Fixed the end of chapter one.
And somehow I'm down 173 words today 😂
Well, it is only 930... so still have time to hit my daily goal.

Well, I went from three chapters to two chapters and a prologue(wip) after some rewrites and fixing some areas I wasn't happy with.
One being the history dump at the end of Chapter 2, so changed it up and how the history will be delivered so as not to slow down the pace.
Writing is fun.😊

Opening for chapter three feels... good.
Managed to also go through the first two chapters and clean up some areas and names I wasn't happy with.
Can't wait to share more of my world I'm creating.

NHL Network’s Mike Kelly on Habs captain Nick Suzuki:
“This player should be talked about a lot more. Well over a point per game, strong possession, puck moving and playmaking numbers. Rarely turns the puck over, terrific defensively and has that DAWG in him. High, high hockey IQ.”

At the time of writing, this was Chapter 6. However, I have since gone back and added and expanded to Chapter 1, as well as Chapters 2 and 3, to combine them into one chapter. So, once the second draft goes out, this may be Chapter 4 or 2.
