Just finished reading MERCHANTS OF CULTURE, a non-fiction book about the publishing business. As an aspiring author, there was so much I didn’t know about an industry I want to be a part of.

Took the last couple of months away to finish WIP 2, and it's finally done and with my agent. Feeling relief and excitement 😊.

Sent the last half of WIP 2 to my awesome critique partner. With this one, I reminded myself to have fun, and so it flowed out of me much easier than WIP 1. Gonna take some time off and do some traveling before doing the final read through next month.

I guess I must be an introvert because when it's just me and the dog together, I don't talk to him either. We just sit in companionable silence, and I'm totally cool with that.

Happy writing everyone!

Today's writing vibe created with:

✅️ Quiet office
✅️ Deep chill music

Sooo we got a dog. His name is Buddy. He sometimes wants to climb into my lap when I'm writing in my ergonomically correct chair meant for 1. Now I get what you other pet owners have been talking about when it comes to your pets trying to be coauthors.

In the past 24 hours, I have watched YouTube videos on the different dialects of the Philippines, how to do a plié, and how to use a vape pen. If I only wrote about what I know, this story would be hella boring.

Looking like a Stephen King novel outside this morning. The perfect atmosphere for writing.

Here's what this writer is stressing over today:
Dunkin' Donuts changed its name to Dunkin' in 2019. A flashback takes place 5 yrs ago, so I used the old name. But when/if this wip is published, 5 yrs ago could be 2023. So thinking I should use the new name.

Yes. I gave myself a deadline of Nov 1 to have book 2 polished & done & at the snail's pace I'm going with revisions, thinking I should have made my deadline Nov 1 2024.

Are there days when you come to the conclusion that maybe the deadline you made for yourself just isn't doable?

Me today.

It seems I've immersed myself in my MC too much. Every time I write about my character yawning, I yawn too.

"Introduce yourself with 3 bullet points."

-I'm a fiction writer
-I consider myself a funtie
-I got a stand-up desk so I could add side shuffles to my shoulder shimmies as I work

Thank you, Google, for allowing this horrendously bad speller to plug in her embarrassingly butchered spelling of a word & understanding what she was trying to spell when spell check didn't.

The word was connoisseur.

I won't be doing much writing this afternoon. My 17 yo nephew called and asked me to pick him up from school & drive him around to run some errands. I ❤️ spending time with this person who is like a son to me, but dude really needs to get his license.

Pity party is over even though Self-Doubt is ringing the doorbell & pounding on the windows trying to get back in to start it up again.

The support from the #writingcommunity #bvm never ceases to amaze me. Thank you all for your kind words & thoughts. Now it's time to go get this day.

Woke up to some devastating news about my writing career. If you need me, I'll be throwing myself a pity party. I'll be back when it's over.

Back to writing today after spending all day yesterday trying to restore ALL files in my Google Drive, including drafts of my novels in Scrivener, that I accidentally deleted. How I managed to do that is a long, embarrassing story I'd rather not rehash🫣.

I just spent 3 hours doing my 17 yo nephew's hair instead of writing. I have no more energy to write today, but I'm glad I spent the time with him. We talked about music, dating, school, his hopes, dreams, & fears & also laughed a lot.
