I've been incredibly burnt out but I finally feel like I'm back in action! It's time for a #weeklywordcount, and this week we're at 3,682 words!💙📚

I am a very tired man but it's #weeklywordcount day so here's what I've been up to:
Not writing 😂 I'm overtired and out of ideas, so I spent the week playing Spiritfarer, meaning I'm coming up with zero words written, again. Definitely a much-needed break, but I'm excited to get back to it!

Playboy is the fourth book in The Elite, focused on famous model Owen McClain as he deals with the loss of his older brother, and must figure out who he can trust, and who he can't. (Currently working on the rough draft!)💙📚 #booksky #writersky #fantasybook #fantasyauthor

Hoo boy I'm too tired to be doing this today...
It's #weeklywordcount day! And this week's wordcount is... 0
Yep, zero. I took the week off from writing to deal with the new job and my chronic illness, and hopefully soon I'll be recharged and ready to get back to it!

It's time for the #weeklywordcount and chat? I wrote 7,967 words in *three days*. I started writing Monday, and the last thing I wrote was on Wednesday. And the burnout? Oh it's BAD. 💙📚

Sometimes you decide to make your own life hell and give your main character thirteen sisters, all with unique designs and personalities. Thankfully, I didn't have to design all of them, shout out my friends from highschool coming in clutch to help me out like six years ago.

I basically quit art a few years ago (long story with no hard feelings) but I have no good references of my characters to get commissions now so I've had to pull out my sketchbooks again just to have other people draw my children
So here's an uncolored Corey from The Elite: Weakborn!

It's #weeklywordcount day! I did just have a full ADHD moment and forgot I was actively trying to write social media posts for favor of trying to reformat a rough draft. Anyway. Closing out at 2,312 words, most of that written today, at the beginning of the ADHD spiral. That was fun.

Chat I just realized I'm probably burnt out and that's why I haven't been able to write
It ain't even like a Physical burnt out I've just had too many emotions in the last few weeks this sucks

This week's #weeklywordcount wraps up at 2,907 words, with almost triple last week, but still not what the average writer would call a good week 😅 in my defense I've applied to like six new jobs this week and none of them have answered me

It's time for the #weeklywordcount! With a very small change in format, I'm totaling up how many words I wrote this week rather than the grand total of each book of The Elite! So with that said, I wrote 1,381 words this week!

Do you like fantasy but are looking for less hetero romance and more queer found family? Good news! I'm working on a fantasy series about a bunch of queer and disabled characters working through trauma together! No smut scenes, but the characters can still say fuck
