Gotta love #editing.

My #WIP said "halfway to the bar," and I sat here wondering where on earth that was.

Did I make part of the BBQs/grills a bar? No.

Did I put a bar in the barn? No.

Did I...? Oh ... It's not "bar;" it's "barn." 🤦🏼‍♀️ I forgot the n...

I don't recommend pausing your #editing to move around some #Thanksgiving photos. You just might accidentally paste a #turkey into the middle of your book instead of your beloved #em-dash.

As a long time #ebook reader, I'm baffled at how to drink tea and read a #paperback at the same time.

Like, I need a hand to hold the book AND a hand to turn the page? What madness is this???

When you're #reading #nonfiction, how often do you start thinking about what is said or follow a tangential thought and stop listening to what you're reading?

It can be so hard to find the last thing I actually took in. Was it a paragraph ago? A page? And what was I even distracted by? I forgot...

I swung the hammer expertly, slamming the #final nail into his coffin. I'd been lucky his heart gave out before he'd finished the job. Before he finished me. Good riddance I'd say.

All that was left was to leave this forsaken place behind and start anew.

She didn't know when, where, or why she'd be trapped in a gargoyle's clutches, but she would be. She'd seen it. And while her #visions were rare, they always came true.

You know the writing is slow when every five minutes you try to open some distraction on your phone but all your social media app timers laugh in your face.

I had never played the role of #predator before. It was thrilling to be the hunter rather than the prey. To pursue rather than being pursued. If I knew making a move on a guy was this empowering, I would have tried it a long time ago.

"Right, your infamous unicorn fist," muttered Mike with a smile, remembering how I renamed "flipping someone off."

"Normally, you'd be correct, but here by the ocean, it's my #narwhal fist!" I shouted over the sand. Wow, maybe that last drink was one too many...

I watched my date slurp up the bone #marrow and fought the urge to throw up. The slime repelled me almost as much as his manners did.

Happy Cat Mom Day! I hope your day is kitty-full!

How my writing familiars have already celebrated me:
- gently scratching posted my leg and dashed feistily away
- buried their teef into my signed copy of Bad Feminist while I read

Love them so! ❤️

I have a tarot card newbie in my book, and as a tarot card newbie myself, I've been doing readings for her. And ...

*$_&-&5-!!!

They're all so spot on. 🤯

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

When it comes to #nonfiction, I’m a painfully slow reader. Give me a romance & I'll read it in a day. A fantasy, two. Put nonfiction in my hand, months.

I have to stop & think about each #essay. Find how to integrate it into my knowledge bank. Assimilate life around it.

Is it the same for you?

I hope y'all squeal when editing your own books. Because damn! YOU WROTE THAT!

Me: working on edits in a cafe...

Me: making a good edit & glancing up at my table companion to see... no one.

Me: looking around in surprise & seeing no evidence they ever existed...

I never understood "the muddle in the middle" until now. I'm working on book 3 of 5. Book 3 is the middle...

Books 1 and 2 flowed onto the page. All my current ideas are for books 4 and 5, which I can't write yet... At least they're percolating!

I dreamed I was in a class analyzing my upcoming novella.

It wasn't a bad dream. It was a *teehee no one here realizes I wrote this* dream.

Why is it that the cheapest way to proof a physical copy of my book is to literally order it in book form? It's cheaper than getting it printed on computer paper somewhere.

Literally, I went to print an 80 sheet novella (2 pages per sheet) and it was going to be $60! 🤮

Ppsssp.

My book was spotted in the wild and I was referred to as an up and coming indie author.

My heart...

Life is good.

The egg I cracked had two mini yolks... No clue what that forebodes, but it's gotta be something. I'm going with double book sales for next month.🤞🏼 It's gotta be that, right?

Does anyone have any recs for authors who are doing Pinterest really well? I'm looking for inspiration.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

Matilda sipped her tea, standing at the window. As she looked out and down on the others in her town, she knew she needed to do something drastic if she were to find a man worthy of continuing her #bloodline.

I participated in the #vss365 challenges over on the blue bird app, but things got complicated when suddenly the icon turned into a black X. I was certain I had a *orn virus. I mean, there was no other explanation. I'm told the rebranding is a #complex issue, but that sounds like a load of bull.
