Hello!
I'm Joss, an aspiring author procrastinating whichever of my projects becomes my debut novel.
I write and read fantasy and science fiction and even like to mix the two.
Aside from that, I confess I am obsessed with cats, particularly my own, and will leave an offering of cuteness here.

Find you an assassin who will steal a flower because he is a little drunk and it reminds him of the decoration on your dress.

I'm reading through what I wrote for the first chapter of this new story, and I didn't realise how intense it was. Near death experience for two of my characters right off the bat? Why not?

So, since I started working on three different books and split my week up to dedicate 2 days to each book, I have written more in a week than I have the last few months.

Just spent the day carting cats and a dog to go get their injections, getting guilt-tripped by the cats for putting them in carriers, and now I finally get the chance to write.

Whenever I wonder if my fantasy creatures are too unrealistic, I remember that on this very planet in reality there is an animal that eats algae, steals that algae's chloroplasts, and uses those chloroplasts to create food from sunlight when there isn't as much algae to eat.

I love the idea of an old school typewriter, but the sound of an old school typewriter... too much noise for my brain.

Seriously, how does this cat expect me to get anything done when she's this cute just existing.

I think this is about to be my new favourite treat.

Not me checking the height comparison between my 4 POV MCs when I should be writing...

My toxic trait is having a document for each book where I dump everything I randomly discover while writing without any plan which I call (book name) planning.

So I decided I will try the healthy thing and space out writing each of the three books. So, Monday and Tuesday will be the new book, Wednesday and Thursday will be Maz's book, Friday and Saturday will be Tyrenae's book, and on Sundays I will lie in bed staring at the ceiling in existential dread.

Treating myself to some ramen today like I didn't just decide to write three books at the same time when I said I would focus on one at the beginning of the year...

Well, damn. This is what happens when the plot bunnies win. This is in no way my fault. It's not because I have no self-control with creative pursuits. It's defitely NOT that.

I suddenly have the urge to write a medium-stakes fantasy with a sorcery guild that does odd jobs and discovers dark secrets on a more personally deadly scale like I don't already have more ideas than lifespan.

Sometimes I wish I knew where this story was going so I could know how we get to the next big scene that keeps playing on repeat in my head, but, no, I ask Tyrenae where we go next and they just respond with, "I don't know. I just got here."

I can hear the vibration of someone's sub woofer like halfway down the street and it's driving me up the wall.

Constantly stuck between wanting to write Maz's story and needing to write Tyrenae's story.

The fact that my book doesn't flow fully formed from my imagination onto the page is so rude. What do you mean I have to figure out words to describe the images playing in my head?

Today is one of those days where I wish I could just be a cat in a cat person's house for the next 24 hours so I can just lounge around and do nothing but be cute as heck.

Gotta love it when going into town ends up triggering your fight or flight response.

I'd rather be in bed, snuggling with my cats, but instead I have to get up and go to town and be responsible.

I forgot how stressful it is to apply for work, but I spent a good few hours on this so I deserve to take a break. Going to watch anime and get some writing done later.

Okay, so I changed which exercises to do to allow that muscle to rest, had a tiny, little breakdown as a treat because I had to change my plans, and have done said exercises, now I'm allowed to eat something and get on with my day.
