Finished my reread of the Harry Potter series this morning. The story and the books remain great reads some 20-30 years later. A shame we'll never know who wrote them.

I received some incredible art in various forms (comic books, pins, hand-drawn cards and sketches) from some very talented artists over the weekend. (Pics coming after coffee) Support all the artists in your life and they'll support you. It's a great exchange!

Hit 100k words on the WIP yesterday! By far the most I've ever written for one story (and we're only halfway done!) Enjoying every word of it!

One cool thing about writing, or being a creative of any medium, is that you control your world regardless of what's happening in The Real. Could be something small, like having your characters walk in the warm sun when it's dark and 15F outside your window.

Having a harder time than usual this morning since waking up to that awful news (happens a lot in 2025) about Rob and Michele Reiner. My WIP is heavily inspired by The Princess Bride and it's hard not to have the wind taken out of my sails a bit.

No matter how much you plot and plan, your imagination will sometimes reward you with fantastic little insights.
Had a few of these this week already.
No idea why anyone would give that dopamine rush over to a glorified calculator.

I believe every serious writer has a project or two they think is beyond their current skill set. For me, I've got "Crock: An American Fairytale" and "The Mountain." Nowhere near ready to tackle either.
What about you?

Really sinking into my WIP now.
Thinking about my fictional world more than the real one, processing things the way my rotating cast of characters would, talking a bit like they might.
Totally normal stuff, especially since all my characters are fairy folk.

So I've got a story that I doubt any other author has experienced.
It involves a book sequel, a Little Lending Library, and inflatable Thanksgiving decorations.
Read on, dear reader...

Struggling with the current work and wondering why I can knock out cynical, murdery, gruesome, dark stories no problem but have a real tough time with light, optimistic, fun, wholesome fantasy tales. I always drift back into the void.
Oh well, soldier on.

My #5amWriting was more of a #6amWritersClub today BUT I knocked out 2 micro fic stories that had been hounding me and submitted them for a quarterly. Fingers crossed!

The Work Ain’t Easy
Liberation isn’t light.
It doesn’t float on air
as a rainbow balloon
it’s a heavy thing
an iron gate
shoved open
chains axed
in the dark.
It’s not a
singular moment
but a thousand
stories; built
of courage
of empathy
of a collective.
