I'm just gonna say it and I don't even give a care who knows... Figuring out how to draw a slightly transparent, synthetic membrane skin for an android is tough. #drawing #sketching #draw #sketching #mixedmedia #skulls #robots #android #

My plotter/architect process allowed me to take one page from my long hand outline and convert it into six and a half pages of the beginning of chapter one. I pants the outline to plot the book.

In my outline, I love Adding little references like this. They make my heart soar with nostalgia.

Not a post about writing, but I wanted to share. Never thought I'd own Masterpiece MP-13B Sound Blaster. I'm over the moon. #transformers #soundwave #soundblaster #morethanmeetstheeye

Chapter Eleven outline is done. It's 85 pages of longhand in an A1C notebook and approximately 26,350 words. I'd say I'm halfway done.

Did a sketch of a book cover idea yesterday and made it today and I completed the editing. I'm happy with it.

Having written my first novel in longhand, I date every page. This is every chapter and the date I started them. Never did give up, and got there eventually.

As someone who's been dealing with mental health issues for 35 years, I dread getting locked in my own head, however, when I write, it can be one of the most wonderful places I've ever been.

Planning the contents of a plot device has my mind spiraling with second half possibilities and inspiration. Very exciting.
