My books are now available in paperback on Etsy! They’re signed, with the option of personalization on the title page. Shipping to USA only for now, although the plan is to make bookplates that can be mailed anywhere.

My laptop has developed a fun quirk of randomly turning off while in use. Sometimes I have ten or fifteen minutes; sometimes, one or two. But I managed to finish backing up edits and formatting to a USB drive seconds before it happened again

While listening to the NieR: Automata OST and rain striking the skylight, I edited and formatted two chapters this evening. So cozy.

Artoo is watching The Empire Strikes Back with me. Not sure if I’m going to do Machete Order (again) or release order (again)

Yesterday, while listening to a good, heavy rain, I wrote 1,600 words, baked a big batch of snickerdoodles, and read a book. A cozy November day

Quiet but productive evening including 1,700 words.
20 minutes on the stationary bike tonight and 6.12 miles, so like one-third of a mile more than usual recently. Looking forward to getting back to 30-40 minute sessions.
I put on Jurassic: Rebirth for the cats. Obi is loving the nature scenes

I had a nice evening hanging out with Floyd and watching the newest season of Futurama. Now I’m knocking out some chores with Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving episodes playing.
Hopefully I’ll jump back into writing/editing and working out tomorrow
