I have yet to watch the halftime show, but from what I’ve seen I can tell I’m going to love it.

I’ve been listening to Florence & the Machine on repeat since I’m going to a show in April. Felt inspired so I did a mood sketch for Shake It Out. It is for the lyric “And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart”

Filled my window bird feeder this morning and within two hours it was empty. My poor birds are hungry.

I am struggling with reading anything at all this year. What are some books that could help with this slump?

Florence + the Machine’s album Ceremonials is an amazing album and great to write to because the vibes are immaculate and go with what I am writing.

Started writing a new story tonight.

Is it planned or outlined? No.

Do I know what it’s about yet? Also no.

Is it going to be full of rage? Looking that way.

A tiny snippet from See How They Burn
#booksky #writersky #fantasybooks #fantasywriter
"SHE USED TO SIT IN BED AT NIGHT WITH HER BLANKET OVER HER HEAD AND A FLASHLIGHT READING ABOUT MONSTERS. THEY HAD STARTED OFF BEING HAIRY BEASTS OR GHOSTLY PEOPLE WITH FANGS, AND THEN CAME THE ALIENS FROM FAR-OFF PLANETS TO DESTROY ASCLEPIAS. KNOWING NOW WHO THE REAL MONSTERS WERE, THOSE STORIES WERE MORE LIKE FAIRYTALES."

🔥This is the year my debut novel will be released!

Below are the cover and synopsis.

More info to come!🔥

#writersky #fantasyauthor #fantasy #booksky
Welcome to Asclepias, where the color of a woman’s blood threatens her survival. Everly and Ivy have one thing in common—make that two: their connection to the elusive Luce and the black blood running through their veins. When Ivy’s life is put in danger, Luce will do whatever it takes to protect her. With her own life in shambles, Everly is doing all she can to stay alive. Forced to join Luce three hundred years in the past, Everly finds herself a guest of Lord Andras and the gods who wish to cleanse the world of witches. Everly agrees to save Ivy’s life, and all women believed witches, but ultimately, she is the one who needs saving. If she fails to stop the witch hunt and save Ivy, the world will see her burn.

Started the new year by stepping on my cat’s tail. In my defense it was quite dark and she stopped in front of me on the dark stairs. She has since been peppered with kisses on her tiny head.

I have three people reading the book I wrote. It’s only been self-edited so far which they know, but three people are reading my words. I’m unsure how to feel right now aside from terrified that anyone but me is reading my work.

Left my outline for the project I’m working on downstairs, but have my laptop upstairs. What do I do? Start a festive novella for said project that isn’t near complete. So far I am loving it.

How many POVs is too many? I am struggling with this draft thinking I’m doing too much or not enough.

Stopped querying and now doing massive rewrites to the manuscript. Adding a new POV and eliminating 2-3 characters. I may be crazy, but I’m looking forward to making the story darker and my FMCs more badass.

Had every intention of writing today since I took today off work for just me. Instead I have gotten Christmas shopping done for the tiny human in my life and brother in law.

The Doctor
The Adventure
Dancemode
Hammerbarn
Pass the Parcel
Faceytalk
Fairytale
Onesies
Tradies
Granny Mobile
Space
TV Shop
Cricket

Trying to figure out which of Taylor Swift’s new songs fit the characters of the book I’m going to start writing soon and right now The Fate of Ophelia is the winner. #writersky #writingcommunity #taylorswift

While I am in the querying trenches I am planning/working on a few projects. Both involve the tarot. I like to get into the heads of my characters and do actual readings as if it’s for them. This is for a character and will feature in the story I’m working on.

I began making a sourdough starter over the weekend. I’m on day 3. Can’t tell if I’m doing it right, but I’m enjoying the process. This is Clara Dough.

It’s black cat appreciation day. This is my black cat. She is an 11 year old cuddly grump and my co-writer.
