Reached a point in my #amwriting that I've been looking forward to since starting this new draft. Now just need to get the right playlist to "properly enjoy" this writing. #kidlit #fantasy

Autumn decor completed. I have two goblins inside me: one absolutely refuses to store tons of seasonal stuff, and the other loves feeling festive. This is my compromise to myself.

@heatherlee.bsky.social and @angelarosehartman.bsky.social We are going to be accountable through Halloween for revisions and word count! We got this!
My goal is at least 1k words/day...every day (on top of where I started). My end goal is to come in a little under 65k words by the end. And you?

I did not have 'random summer storm with loads of thunder' on my bingo list, especially when the sky looks like this. But I love it!! (It doesn't look it in the picture but it's definitely raining). Pippen says hi.

In this edit I've learned that I have an #amwriting tick/phrase that I (apparently) use A LOT. Current draft has it 13x, but I know I've already changed at least 3 other uses earlier in this edit. #amediting #writingcommunity

Continuing the novel word purge before a writing workshop deadline in July. I needed to remove 11,508 words, and I'm down 6,508 with 5,000 to go! Over halfway there! Slowly but surely it's gonna get there! #writingcommunity #amediting #amwriting

I'm finally working on another revision of my #amwriting book & I need to remove 10k words. I was line editing to reaquaint myself with the story & realized a chapter was missing at the end. A VERY important chapter. Now I'm back up 271 words above what I started at. #amediting #writingcommunity

Been plugging away #amwriting our recent #dnd vacation game, but every so often the procrastination bug hits, so I find other ways to be productive...like testing out the amazing commissioned art by @eurephora.bsky.social as chapter header images in my pre-formatting draft 😊 (for personal use only)
