Day 30
I worked on my novel Mirror Siren for the #StartingOffWrite. My goal was to reach 25k words by the end of the month. I didn't quite make it, but got close. So I say that was good progress
Now on to editing book 2 of SoM called Secrets of Battle!

I recently put down a slapstick, physical comedy style meet-cute involving a chicken, a puppy, and the prospective couple below in my #WIP. That was really fun. I liked writing that. I attached some screenshot below.

Day 15:
I'd like to shine a light on my particular corner of the world in a fun, whimsical, and--ultimately for me--grounding way. It's giving me a chance encounter to get to know roots even when my kin are long gone.
Also: my mom wanted me to be an engineer. 🙃

Forgot to update, wrote some word for the #StartingOffWrite challenge yesterday. Not the full day target because i was still recovering from my brain being stupid around Bluepit. Gotta admit, this particular chapter is giving a bit of trouble, just trying to push through it.

#StartingOffWrite is really giving my marathon writing abilities and energy reserves a run for their money!
Today is the first full day I lost out on making any word count contribution, because Act 3 needed more outling.
Hopefully the prior overachieving makes up for it, but I'm scarce on socials.

Syd the Slime is pretty neat. He keeps things pine fresh. He can be fairly alarming until you realize he's just trying to get rid of the messes, though.

As a dad to two wonderful young children as well as a middle school teacher, time and energy. It's not particularly close, either.
Sitting down and finding time to intentionally write is hard. I'm pretty wiped out after the kids' bedtime most days.

How's everyone's #startingoffwrite going? I got pulled into stuff plus health got in the way so I'm not where I hoped to be. That's okay though. Life happens. Its a new week.

Alllrighty then, back into the swing of it for #StartingOffWrite!
Made some decent progress today. Finished off a chapter, got a bit into the next, flowing towards the final big arc for Tides of Sourcery with I’m hoping everything fitting in nicely for what is a first draft!

I thought I would show off some neat Google Docs functionality. As a parent who often attempts to write with my phone, I need to be able to access my work anywhere.
So, I use a combination of Google Docs and Google Keep. Check out the screenshots below.

That said, my inspirations are:

- 🥓 Food and Traditions
- 🏠 What Makes a Home

Day 10:
Writer's Block is hard.
I tend to take a break and read/watch a favorite show or book, take a closer look at the story structure, and try to figure out how they did it.
The trick for me is forcing myself to sit back down at the keyboard.
