Today was a curl up in bed and read a good book cover to cover kind of day. THE HOUSE OF SAPHIR is an amazing retelling of Bluebeard in an ingenious way. Many thanks to MPS & @fiercereads.bsky.social for the free ARCs they sent us to read & share! The book comes out in Nov.

Before turning in for the evening, just enough time left for a little reading courtesy of my PRH rep and @randomhousekids.bsky.social
(I’m on ch 2 and already so invested in Gwen and her uncle and Pumpkin the dog.)

I have never really ever been able to read horror. I blame this book:
In a Dark, Dark Room
When the girl takes off the ribbon. You know what I'm talking about.

Before I start my #writing, time to look at this week’s stats: this was by far my most productive writing week all year. I got nearly twice as much written this week as in the whole month of sept. No idea where this productivity is coming from, but let’s see if I can keep going!

Over the last few days between #writing about query letters and #writing about one page synopsis, I crocheted a scarf and pillbox hat for a stuffed animal. Why? 🤷🏻♀️ No idea. But on the plus side, I’ve now finished writing about a complete #kidlit novel query. #authorlife #weirdauthorlife #amediting

(BTW, my writing partner has been just typing away, and I’m still trying to psych myself up.)

UPDATE: I did not manage to write all the words, but I did get some of them down. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some more writing in later and crack 1k.
