3 months later and we’re still subflooring it up in here. I wish I could share more but all I will say is, I’ve been writing my fingies off

Not only am I writing a book, but I’m renovating a house. Yes, I know I’m crazy. No, I’ll never do it again. The day I stop seeing this subfloor will be a joyous day. 😩

I have been frantically writing my derby book (through inkfort press) so apologies for disappearing. I am almost done!!! Cannot wait to announce what’s been going on behind the scenes!

Nothing better than “tea time” with the kids. 🤭

Let’s pretend I posted this a couple days ago. 🫶

Still cryin’ over these incredible snippets of feedback I got during the beta stage.

After months of hard work, the process of writing, editing, and releasing a book is coming to a close! The Kepler Star Project book cover is coming out in NINE days, on Friday, May 31st!

I'm so excited, I could explode!!!

Apologies for my absence, but I have been a busy little bee in the past month! Got my book finished, out to a handful of Beta’s, and I’ve started editing the other half of the duology. Still undecided on what I’m going to name this series… but I’ll figure it out. Fun things are in store!

Also I had to edit that last post *three times*. Use that information as you will.

Stayed up way too late editing up to chapter 19 (of 25) because I want to get this out to beta readers so bad.

I’m tired, but it was worth it. 😅

I have been taking a mental break from editing to gather ✨vibes✨ for my next book. I’m not starting it yet, but the plan is to work on it while my current duology is off with my editor! :)

I am finally home after an incredible long-weekend at @norwescon.bsky.social! What a glorious time, and I can’t wait to do it again next year!!

My sweet husband got me an iPad so that way I can write my book whenever I want without having to lug around my laptop. He is such a gem and I love him dearly!!!

I made friends with a bird today. 🥰

I sent an email off to a favorite editor… just figuring I would shoot my shot. Wasn’t expecting them to come back and call my 10 sample pages “excellent” and be willing to work with me!?

(To be completely fair, it was under the guise of them being first-draft words, but still!!)

AHH!

January has been so productive for me, and I am so proud of it! I finished the first draft of book one in my duology, and am already 1/3 of the way through the first draft of book two! 🥂✨
January 31, 2024 at 2:30 PM
In OTHER news, I’ve single-handedly written over 10k words (around 4.5 chapters) in the past three days! Heyo!

In today’s episode of: What Illness Does Elliot Have Now?

The ‘rona. I have it. Again. I’m pretty sure that fills up my illness bingo board! I’ve caught them all. If this were pokemon, my pokedex would be full. 🤣

I finished an eARC of a book last night and OH MY GOSH was it so good. Definitely having a serious book hangover today.
January 25, 2024 at 1:26 PM
Happy new year! I have been quiet because I can’t seem to kick this illness! 😩 We’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon.

Change your thinking, change your art.

Why does my art suck? 👉 What elements could I improve?

No one likes my work. 👉 What could make my work more relatable?

I will never grow as an artist. 👉 With time and effort, I will get to where I want to be.

A thread. ⬇️

Yeserday I wrote quite a few chapters. Every single one of them went a completely unexpected direction and I was but a mere bystander to the chaos that ensued. Today I’ve been trying to reign it back in but the characters have other plans. Send help. 😅

I feel like a proper *something* out of a historical fiction tonight after spending a few hours conditioning all my leather items (shoes, belt, purse, etc.)
December 16, 2023 at 11:33 PM
Making another batch of saegwa cha today!

Two completely separate men came up to me today at totally different times to randomly talk about how “horrible” (their word, not mine) everyone is who isn’t a cis white american. Do I have a face that screams, “Be transphobic to me,” or something? 🤬 UGH!
