Me: gotta get up super early tomorrow. Let's get to bed early.
*Miraculously does go to bed*
My dumb brain: stresses about every tiny aspect of upcoming morning for hours on end.
Me: still awake an hour before alarm is due to sound. Haven't slept a wink.

Hey #indieauthor and #writingcommunity! How is everyone handling royalty splitting among a group of authors? Draft2Digital's cut of print royalties, just standing between us and Ingram is WAY too steep. But it doesn't seem #IngramSpark supports royalty splitting on their end. Options? I'm at a loss.

Cool maps aside, I wish my spouse would wake up so we could just play Stardew until dawn and it's time to take the kids to school. Then I'd call in sick, and we could nap. ...and then more Stardew.

I turned on Home Alone for my kids.
I forgot '90s PG is very different from 2025 PG. 😨
Naturally, they thought it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen. Ha ha 😅 Well, I suppose I turned out (reasonably) okay watching it at their age back in the day. 🤦♀️

Y'all - we gotta talk. Who on earth is buying gingerbread mix and not even considering cookies? How is this recipe not on the box? Are people really only making gingerbread cake?? This hurts my soul and my brain.

We made it. My kids are finally old enough to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. It's still SO good. I friggen love this movie.
There's no getting around it. The book I #amquerying is absolutely Pirates meets Firefly. Adventure, humor, action, high-stakes, sword fights, magic, warm fuzzies. The end.
