Looking through some old college folders and remembered how batshit my art history teacher was.

So many stories to be told about her, but the one lingering on my mind today is of how absolutely convinced she was that aliens had ruled ancient Egypt. This was based on art like this.

Day 26:

Book titles?

Hmmm complex question. I'm pretty fond of 1-2 word titles at the moment (SILVERLEAF and CICADA KEEPER as examples).

But I try to think of main themes within the book to fill those words with. I do like a little foreshadowing in them too, though~

Skipping to the 24th because I was hella sick the last few days with a migraine and screw screens lol.

Day 24:

YES I listen to music!! I have several scene based playlists ready to go at all times. Sad/emotional music, action music, background music... Mostly instrumental.

Day 20:

I find inspiration everywhere. Current life, past life, music on the radio, books I'm reading, my cats, video games, gardening... I mean, the list is shorter for what I DON'T find inspiration from.

Day 18:

Ooooh interesting question. Favorite character I've created, hmm?

From what's released, probably Mouse from SILVERLEAF. He's just SO FUN to write, full of flaws, and is def made of chaos.

For those unfamiliar, he's a hot mess. And I love that for him.

Day 16:

Planster by practice, planster by nature.

There are pros and cons to plotting and winging it, and through writing and rewriting, I realized my biggest issue was the story went wherever it felt, without an end in mind.

Day 13:

Where do I write? Wherever I frikin' fancy.

Naaah, I'm kidding xD

Usually my desk in my office or my mini couch in the bedroom, depending on my mood and joints.

Day 12:

(Yes, yes, I'm a day behind lol)

Good advice: just start writing. Ignore the what ifs and worries. You'll never get the book written if you don't WRITE it.

Bad advice: show, don't tell. My least favorite garbage. Sometimes you just gotta tell.

One of the best things about living up in Minnesota... The northern lights~

Fun fact: you can't see most of the color with your naked eye. The camera picks up color more than we can.

But today? Red blanketed the sky and rained upon all of us staring up at it.

Gorgeous.

Day 11:

I write mostly fantasy adventure, with sub genres ranging from light romance, political, speculative, horror (only sometimes), mystery and cozy. Everything I write is ALWAYS LGBT+ friendly.

Day 10:

Favorite line I've written...?

Oh man, I feel like a lot of it requires context, since I do a lot of build-on and back-and-forth dialogue.

Maybe something silly, like a joke... Or should it be something serious?

Honestly, I can't pick a single line.

Day 7:

What helps me relax...

Honestly, setting up on my mini couch and flicking on one of my background noise shows (Mentalist, Criminal Minds, etc) with my laptop in my lap... Is perfect for me to just unwind, relax, and breathe a little.

Day 6:

Helpful writing tools~

Google Docs - Can't beat free and reliable

Word Hippo app - Thesaurus app with really nice detail and lists. Has helped me many times

YouTube - I mean, writing to music never stops helping

Yeah, that's it for me lol~

I forgot to post some of these cuties. #pikminbloom recently added a "snap" feature for taking pictures with Pikmin in it.

Happened to be visiting some MN State Parks and look at this cutie in all these shots!

Day 4:

Inspiring authors....

Might be a weird answer, but I'm in an Indie Author writing discord with TONS of amazing writers.

I'm just a little newbie there, tier zero and aspiring for more. Anyone there in higher tiers and giving advice is inspiring to me.

Day 2:

When did I start writing....

Like 2-3 weeks into 6th grade.

Met a few girls in class that loved writing, and I, trying to make friends, came up with a terrible story of superhero friends that protected planets based on colors that matched some bracelets they bought.
