Y’all. I am political as a person but I don’t follow political accounts. I can’t have that trauma streaming on my feed. Sorry. I like to keep my feed to art and writing and creatives and life. We don’t talk about the orange menace here.

Today I will buy nothing.
Although I don’t buy a lot anyway but today I’ll make sure it’s not a day where I do.

Help. This is my attempt to create an abstract landscape book cover for my sci-fi novel. It’s the inside of the space station. Is this working or do I need more representational detail? What do yall think.

I did manage to break through yesterday’s clunk. Idk if the chapter is better but I got through and now it’s rambling instead. But at least rambling leads to moving forward.

Today I only wrote about 500 words in my fake marriage criminal novel. It’s feeling a little clunky so it’s not moving well.
I should probably go for a 9pm writing session just to get through the clunk so I can start tomorrow fresh. Clunkless.

Hi #SFFChat. I’m Rowena and I write mostly sci fi with some romance and ‘magic,’(according to Arthur C Clarke)
My debut Spacewitch (amazon KU) came out in Dec and I’m about to query Moonshine while working on a new sci fi romance. All in the same universe. I’m also a painter and teacher.

The best way I’ve found to make writing easy is to write every day. I know that feels burdensome to some people but a daily writing habit sets up a routine so I don’t fight my mind and body to get to work. I just sit down at the regular time and my internal clock says it’s time to write.

She could almost feel him sitting next to her like a person, which was ridiculous, because he was a ship colonized with 95 different species of Inanis Animantia, not a person at all, but he was more of a person than almost anyone else.

Nope. I’m not watching again. I did that last time and the only thing it did was literally make me sick.
I’m starving narcissists of attention and focusing my life on creating hope and joy where I am. We deserve happiness no matter how often we’re told we’re nothing but objects to be used.

Today I wrote 2748 words for a total of 15646 words in my sci fi romance about a couple of criminals on the lam from their pirate captain while hiding on a sentient station as a fake married couple of farmers. Its working title is Double Trouble. Sci fi romance you see. Fake relationship ftw.

I’ve set my own challenge to write this new book and it’s basically a double nano over two months. For 100k words. Hoping to finish the whole book. I don’t know if I’ll manage it but I know how these challenges work and I’ve set up my pacemaker plan and am on track after four days.

Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t maintain your personal goal word counts everyday.
Life gets in the way.
Instead of looking for perfect numbers go with the flow and write more on those days you have time/energy/inspiration and less on slow days.
You aren’t a machine.

I’m gonna brag a little. My daughter made dinner. Fettucine Alfredo from scratch. It was delicious. Not at all too heavy like I was afraid.
Having a kid grow up and love to cook is awesome. She’s good at it too.

Anyone in Marion County/Central Florida? January is a good time to start getting (back) into poetry or maybe taking your poetry seriously. Our next meeting is 1/19 if you’d like to come and read/listen to some poetry.

I looked at my Pinterest board for one of my unfinished novels in the universe I’m writing now and I loved it so much. Makes want to write that novel even though it’s like fourth down on the list of books I need to write/finish. I do think I can finish it now after developing the universe.
