Cozy the Day Away logo: a cartoon of a blue axolotl reading a purple book, sitting in a large pink armchair surrounded by piles of books, with one stack topped by a curled up sleeping cat and another by a cup of tea. The words Cozy the Day Away Sale are written in a curve over the top of the armchair.

Time blindness?
Feels like that quote from my WIP...

I was happy to share some tips to try and combat it on Very Well Mind. Take your time reading! 😉
verywellmind.com/time-persona...

And Emma?
News of the book - first on my website, kessem.com! 🤗
A quote from Adva Shaviv's cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD (more on kessem.com): Ouch! The bottle fell on Emma's toe, popping the bubble. How long had she stood watching it? What time was it? Probably too late - that was usually it. A woman lying on the grass with a clock covering her face. Text: If you're always late, your time personality might be to blame.

In the chapter I'm (re)writing, a character expresses common misconceptions about ADHD. Such as:

- Women and girls don't have it
- If you can do something sometimes, you can do it always
- "Everyone is a little ADHD"

What are others you've come across?

What visually represents ADHD for you?
(Yes, I need help rebranding my website
😅)
Of course squirrels come to mind, and I should think a roller coaster, too. But is there anything else you might see and immediately think "ADHD"?

After beta readers, rewrites, dev edit, fixing last things before line/ copy edit... and can't get to the finish line.

Got up at 6:00 AM, sat at my laptop doing nothing for 2 hours.

Ugh.

So, trying a daily report for self-accountability.

Wish me luck!

Also, tips are welcome 😊

Once again woke up late and exhausted after waking up in the middle of the night, spending over 2 hours trying to fall back asleep, eventually falling into a dream-crazed sleep in the early morning and ending up thus.

Anyone has tips that actually work? 😵

It's my birthday! 😁
As it merges with the best holiday (Purim! 🥳 ), I decided to celebrate by sharing my favorite recipe for Hamantaschen which are *delicious* cookies.
Here it is: added.kessem.com/2024/03/its-...
hamantaschen, which are triangle cookies filled with various sweet fillings.

How do you remember which books you have on your Kindle device, when they're not sitting on a shelf under your eyes?... 🧐

I finally did it!!
Printed and bound my book for a final read before giving to an editor 🥳🥳🥳

My work-in-progress novel is a cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD. The free prequel is already written! See kessem.com ✨😍
