We saw @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social and the Stardew Valley concert this weekend. 100/10 would definitely rewind this weekend and relive it again if possible.

Happy Nintendo Switch 2 Day!
I haven't gotten one yet, unfortunately. @krispoli.bsky.social and I might go on a scavenger hunt this weekend for one.
Just like we did for the first Switch eight years ago. Brings back memories. 😂

This past month has been mentally draining. But many good things happened:
📓 My offices are officially set up
🎮 My gaming PC is up and running (thanks, @krispoli.bsky.social!)
📖 I finally have the book cover for Happily Ever Afterlife
I'm finally feeling creative again!

My WIP is a collection of short stories, so this doesn’t really pertain to me at the moment. But it’s an interesting exercise I’ll have to try for my novel!

I believe so. Happily Ever Afterlife is another short story collection, taking place after Apparitions Anonymous. The stories are written in a slightly different format that I think shows more of the Grim Reaper and the spirits they help.

The opening pages of your book should hook readers instantly. Are they engaging and intriguing enough to spark curiosity? What will draw your readers in a gripping conflict, a compelling character and epic setting?

I’m tracking time spent on my work rather than individual goals per WIP. I’ve been much more productive that way. For May, I’m aiming to work at least 25 hours on my writing.
But also, I need to start the cover design process for Happily Ever Afterlife.

I am roughly 12k-14k words away from completing Happily Ever Afterlife.
I aimed to have it done by Friday.
Either I’m going to go over my deadline or Friday is going to be a loooong day.
Please send happy thoughts and coffee. 😂

This morning’s writing session was S.L.O.W. But it’s fine; got some words down and finally completed one of the stories for Happily Ever Afterlife.
I’m so close to completing this book.

I started a new short story this morning for my Caffeinated Club members on Ko-fi. I thought of this idea back in November and figured it’s time to bring it to life. I made good progress on it and I’m curious to see where it’ll end up.

I had a productive morning writing and recording for the podcast.
Now my afternoon has been canceled and I don’t know what to do what to do with myself.
I may organize some projects and see where that takes me, but also… laying in bed sounds nice, too. 😂

I sometimes attempt a 10k writing day and it’s been a while, but I was able to do it today with @krispoli.bsky.social
I wrote two sections of Happily Ever Afterlife and completed a short story totaling 10,014 words for the day. 🎉
Took all day. I’m tired. 😅
