Trying to figure out which of Taylor Swift’s new songs fit the characters of the book I’m going to start writing soon and right now The Fate of Ophelia is the winner. #writersky #writingcommunity #taylorswift

While I am in the querying trenches I am planning/working on a few projects. Both involve the tarot. I like to get into the heads of my characters and do actual readings as if it’s for them. This is for a character and will feature in the story I’m working on.

I began making a sourdough starter over the weekend. I’m on day 3. Can’t tell if I’m doing it right, but I’m enjoying the process. This is Clara Dough.

It’s black cat appreciation day. This is my black cat. She is an 11 year old cuddly grump and my co-writer.

I added this gorgeous edition of Dante’s Inferno to my small collection of books I’m using for ✨research✨. I am truly in love with the cover and creating my own version of Hell.

I received one of the nicest rejections in my email this morning. It made me feel good about my writing so I’m not even that upset about it.

I totally get it. I started as a stand-alone, went the trilogy route before finally settling on a duology.

I wrote just over 1,000 words today. It’s the first time in months that I’ve felt like writing and on top of that actually liked what I wrote.

I would be so delighted if this heatwave could kindly fuck off.

I’ve planned out 16 chapters for a book. My cat clearly thinks it’s time to go to bed.

Reading my manuscript for the first time in months while querying/beginning outlining book two. (With the help of my pooch.)

While querying I’ve been outlining writing projects. I’ve been planning a historical fantasy (maybe romantasy?) for a few months now. Its outline and character/setting info are all safely in this book. It’s not even written and I already love this story.

Finishing up the outline for the story I’m working on and my MMC is now pictured in my head as Lin Manuel Miranda due to rewatching the Hamilton performance at the Tony’s. I am not even a little sad at that either.

I hate when I think I preordered a book only to realize that I in fact did not preorder it. I swear I remember ordering Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil forever ago.

I birdwatch from my desk while I work…as does my cat. These two cuties visit often and love to torment the cats.

My nephew loves Predator. My mornings are spent sending photos of Predator back and forth while making them have faces silly.
