Reached a point in my #amwriting that I've been looking forward to since starting this new draft. Now just need to get the right playlist to "properly enjoy" this writing. #kidlit #fantasy

Autumn decor completed. I have two goblins inside me: one absolutely refuses to store tons of seasonal stuff, and the other loves feeling festive. This is my compromise to myself.

@heatherlee.bsky.social and @angelarosehartman.bsky.social We are going to be accountable through Halloween for revisions and word count! We got this!
My goal is at least 1k words/day...every day (on top of where I started). My end goal is to come in a little under 65k words by the end. And you?

I did not have 'random summer storm with loads of thunder' on my bingo list, especially when the sky looks like this. But I love it!! (It doesn't look it in the picture but it's definitely raining). Pippen says hi.

In this edit I've learned that I have an #amwriting tick/phrase that I (apparently) use A LOT. Current draft has it 13x, but I know I've already changed at least 3 other uses earlier in this edit. #amediting #writingcommunity

Continuing the novel word purge before a writing workshop deadline in July. I needed to remove 11,508 words, and I'm down 6,508 with 5,000 to go! Over halfway there! Slowly but surely it's gonna get there! #writingcommunity #amediting #amwriting

Now that we have kittens coming in, it’s a good time to remind you that we still have several good, deserving and lovely older kittens from last year who are still looking
for their homes. Meet them at crits4cats.petfinder.com and apply to adopt! Located in Elkton, MD.

I'm finally working on another revision of my #amwriting book & I need to remove 10k words. I was line editing to reaquaint myself with the story & realized a chapter was missing at the end. A VERY important chapter. Now I'm back up 271 words above what I started at. #amediting #writingcommunity

Been plugging away #amwriting our recent #dnd vacation game, but every so often the procrastination bug hits, so I find other ways to be productive...like testing out the amazing commissioned art by @eurephora.bsky.social as chapter header images in my pre-formatting draft 😊 (for personal use only)
