Odin the cat is “helping” me write and definitely isn’t impeding me at all… #amwriting
A gray cat is resting his head on a light-skinned outstretched arm. The person’s hand is on a red-lit laptop keyboard.

Happy (just over) one year anniversary to my current writing project, nicknamed Scribe, a destroying-the-empire-style prequel series to the existing fantasy novel I'm querying.

I've savored this project more than I typically do and it has been incredibly fulfilling! #amwriting #amquerying
Screenshot of an excel-style document titled "Scribe Word Count Tracker" with columns listing dates, words written, word count, chapter, scene. The first entry is 8/19/24 with a word count of 9140 for chapter 1 and scene 1. The last entry is 8/19/25 with word count 56392 for chapter 8 scene 1.

Today’s writing supervisor is a little overbearing
A white and buff cat sits on an elevated shelf and looks into the distance. In the foreground is a blurry computer screen.

Ghost is very invested in what's happening

(I was eating cheese)
a white greyhound dog stands so close to the camera you can only see the top three quarters of her face as she stares intently. beside her but not looking nearly as intense is a blue merle smooth collie

Dutifully collecting plant pictures for my garden club next week - all these years later and I’m still a nerd for extra credit
Clusters of small purple flowers in the shape of spheres Long clusters of purple flowers extending over a fence rail Red berries on a tree

Stopped by a local pond with the pups - there was some ice but as soon as Ghost the greyhound saw open water along the shore she walked right in while Story the smooth collie lost her mind (she thinks Ghost is performing a harrowing magic trick and not just looking for mud to wallow in)

Puzzle update: Ghost the greyhound (and probably also Story the smooth collie) seem to have eaten...a LOT of puzzle pieces over the course of winter - I hadn't realized just HOW MANY until I laid out the remainder and...🤦
A puzzle on a tabletop. The puzzle is a rainbow progression of various flora and has a single piece missing from the near section, with progressively more patches of missing pieces the further away you go. Behind the table stands a dog, a blue merle smooth collie.

I made them stop and take a picture during our walk through a county park and was judged harshly for it #greyhound #smoothcollie
a white greyhound dog and a blue merle smooth collie stand at the end of their leashes, looking back at the viewer with comically judgmental expressions. They're standing on a paved walkway. In the background are leafless trees and beyond that a vista of bare farmland with occasional patches of snow.

Catching some winter sunshine #greyhound #smoothcollie
Two dogs lying on a rug facing away from the viewer. The dog in the foreground has ears perked. It is a blue merle smooth collie. The dog in the background is a white greyhound with sunshine grazing its fur.

Introducing Puzzle Eater (Ghost the Greyhound) and Manic Pixie Dream Pup (Story the Smooth Collie)
Foreground shows a table surface with an incomplete puzzle. A person's hand reaches up and cradles the side of a white greyhound dog's head. In the background is a bookcase and a smooth collie dog lying on a circular bed.
