Sprinting into the week like a deranged person b/c I’m determined to finish Act 2 of Project Sandstorm by the end of August.
If you hear screaming—it’s me, arguing with my characters. Or myself. Hard to say…
Wish me luck. I’ve got coffee, and zero chill. 🖤✍️ #amwriting #ProjectSandstorm #act2sprint

Act One is finished!
It only took 58k words, a branding iron, two state-sponsored war crimes, and a boy who calls her “dangerous” like he’s trying not to fall in love.
And I’m still shaking, and I think I need to lay down a cry a little.

First edits always happen with a printed manuscript and a good pencil. There’s something about marking up paper that makes it feel real.
Don’t mind the chicken scratch, only I can read it.
(Okay, sometimes even I can’t.)

Don’t think much editing will getting done today. Puppy is recovering from surgery and is attached to my hip. Poor baby

Thoughts and tail wags appreciated today, Maple is getting spayed.
I know it’s a super common procedure, and I know she’s in good hands, but this doggy mom is still stressing. I just want everything to go smoothly. Going to do some edits to distract myself today.

The door groaned as it shut behind her.
The chase isn’t over.

My first ever #WIPSnippet post!
Prompt: Piece

This snippet is from my dark fantasy WIP, Project Sandstorm. It’s a story about buried magic, rebellion, found family, and healing from the kind of trauma you don’t walk away from clean.

I’ve been writing at my local library so much that the librarians now greet me by name.
At this point I think I’m either a beloved regular… or a cryptid they’ve learned to coexist with.

Excited to meet other writers! #amwriting #fantasywriters
