When watching a random SciShow answered a question (or rather gives you a rabbit hole to fall down that might answer a quatuon) for one of your early stage WIPs, it's a good day.

July Recap!
Had some great 🇨🇦reads with The Troop, Nostalgia and 4 short stories from Wilderness Tips. Check out my July Recap/ Aug TBR for more.
Only one day where I didn't read! and 925 is the most pages I've read in a month so far this year!

Hey, all my fellow #indieauthors!
In light of all the book banning and Library de-funding happening in the states, I've got an idea.
I'd like to start reading and requesting more indie authors through my local library in Ottawa 🇨🇦

This goes for our videos too! When the "revising my really old flash fiction" video drops you'll get to see and hear the quality boost!!
So I've been frustrated about my camera being some weird aspect ratio foe a while which has really messed with my talking head recording for reviews and such. Finally figured it out today AND checked an audio setting that defaults to a poorer quality so that should be better too! Woo hoo!

You know how I've been saying I'm a short story writer and have no desire to write something longer? Well... I don't think this idea fits in a short story. Jokes on me I guess.

Did you have a catalyst moment that made you start writing?
I definitely had one for going to school, but overall, I kinda just... started writing.

It happened! We launched the book! I have a physical copy of a book I am an author of! It’s very cool.
A huge thanks to The Jolly Taxpayer for hosting us. They did a phenomenal job; they were very helpful and accommodating to our large, loud and active group.

Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

That time of year again when the world is on fire
Real upset about this hazy weather.
I've been really enjoying spending part of my day outside working AND I was planning on hitting up the library today. But it just isn't worth the lung damage to go out in the smoke if I don't actually have to 😔

Who doesn't love a good writing prompt!?
A serene moment is about to be changed forever, will you take inspiration from the photos or run away with just the text?
I'd love to know what you come up with!

Are you able to read something that is similar to your clients' projects?
I just started a new novel then promptly picked up a client in the same subgenre, and it feels a little weird! Lolol

Tomorrow I'm planning on heading to the library to get some "away from home" work done, because sometimes you just need a new atmosphere.
Do I dress like a comfy college kid or fun-loving professional?
(Either way stay tuned for a OOTD post :p)
