My kids just made me the cutest cover concepts for my #CozyFantasy

#MomsWritersClub #AmEditing

I #AmEditing my #CozyFantasy and just found my current favorite part! (In between parts where I question if I even know how to write. I may have been editing too long today. #WritersProblems)

So close to #CozyFantasy BINGO for my #WIP MAPs, MAGIC, AND MIMICS. Maybe I should make one of them grumpy while I #AmEditing. I mean fighting mimics could make any orc grumpy, right? (Probably going to stick with #FriendsToLovers but the mimics are still going to make life difficult for them.)

I've been going through our home library and it turns out James Patterson can get his books into any size library. I did not buy these and only know where half of them came from. #LibrarySky #Librarian

LEGENDS AND LATTES X CAN'T SPELL TREASON...

The orc Lin never imagined a job at the library would involve traveling the content, retrieving overdue materials, making maps, battling mimics, or hunting down the one responsible for the collection's infestation.

ABHORSEN X CAN'T SPELL TREASON...
When Charming’s faulty spell brings Snow White back to life, she must figure out how to unlink their hearts, undo their accidental engagement, and disguise her necromancy, all while preventing Snow’s killer from striking again.

I forgot to add my working cover inspired by one that my oldest kiddo drew for me!

I used to think that love was shown with grand gestures, thanks movies, but now I know it's all the small gestures. After a hard day Hubs handed me theese plant based Reese's cups. He put them on our grocery order because he thought I might want some. #Glimmers #Joy #TrueLove

Today feels cold in lots of ways so I made my #GlutenFree #DairyFree Quick Pork Stew. It is so good. I legit want to cry when I think about how far my cooking has come after learning to cook again for my allergies. Also maybe has to do with how overwhelming today is.

So in my database on Notion, these are used to categorize my recipes. But being the perfectionist I can be sometimes, I don't know what the best ones to use in a cookbook are. And I feel like there are way more types of bread.

I've debated doing this. I'm either not going to get likes or run out of games. Fingers crossed for a middle ground.

Also, some of these are going to not be video games.

So I think I have it figured out (for now). I'm going to try to stick with Bluesky and Insta. Soon I hope to start making content on TikTok too, but for now I'm just lurking there.

Last night was pizza night! And I've finally cracked the code on a #GlutenFree #DairyFree thin crust. It bubbled! I need to figure out how best to share my recipes. Maybe a page on my author site, a TikTok series, or a newsletter with a Patreon for past recipes? Some combination of those?

#WIPWednesday
I finished taking my partial first draft from handwriting to typed! But my estimate of word count was about 10K over what I really got.

Maps, Magic, and Mimics now has around 43K. Snow White and the Necromancer is at about 10K. I love them both so much I have trouble focusing on one!

Woo Hoo! Marked off a box on my Bingo Goals Card. Boo, I finished my TOTK run due to stress over the kitchen reno.

I saw a TikTok, so I decided to make a Bingo Card for my goals for 2024. It seems so much more cozy than standard resolutions. Hopefully I will be updating as the year goes with boxes marked off.
