Ok... the green fog touched me... now what? Can it be cleansed before it takes root? What does it do? Would a different color do something else or just add to it? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Do you see that? There's a fog... it's... green! Don't let it touch you! #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

If the Mad Hatter became a necromancer, would he kill more by his raised army or from the laughter at the nonsense of it all? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Got another eraser? The drawing board is so covered in different ideas and scribbles, it just needs to be wiped clean again. #authorlife #writing

It was all so straightforward... saw the enemy, saw the evil it committed, condemn its existence and plan it's end. But then, that plan goes awry. A key element is removed and everything you've planned around is taken back to the drawing board. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

The sun doth shine so bright! Book 3 has been slightly paused in its forward momentum. Am working through editing it's first half. There were parts that needed to be added in before I can unpause its movement again. #authorlife #writing

Well, today starts the beginning of summer schedule which will be up and down and not normal. I will do my best to remember what day of the week it is and get my posts done. #summer #authorlife

If I close my eyes it doesn't exist, right? Right?! #authorlife #toddlerbeliefs #goblinlogic

When stressed beyond the norm, do you trust your eyes and brain? Did you really just see what you thought you had seen? Or was it just placed there because you had heard about it previously? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

They always tell you to be flexible, to be fluid in thinking. Which, that in itself is annoying to hear, until you see how right it is, especially as a fight progresses. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Even when you've already rained down hellfire, it's never too late to use a lil bit of caution. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

When all else fails.. fire... lots and lots of fire! #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Today held a great moment, a day I felt proud of the words I was writing. In a mere gesture, my handwritten words were acknowledged and confirmed as part of a story. Such a little act came with an overwhelming feeling. #writing #authorlife #proudmom

Even with careful planning, nothing survives contact with the enemy. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Fear, anxiety, worry, stress... all those horrible feelings are better with friends, no? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

'Hindsight is 20/20.' They always say that. But in reality its sadly true. 'If' you had known certain things, certain details... you could have planned better, prepared better... had more time... #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

A squash plant is such an amazing plant. For a normal sized person, it's bush-like and you have to fight back the leaves and stems off to find the veggie. For a tiny 3 inch person, it's its own forest with the leaves separating you from the whole world. #yafantasy #writing

Prebattle jitters? Overlooking the main target of contention? If I can't see it, it doesn't exist? Pick a line, a virtue, or whatever, but the time is running out. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

As Book 3 continues moving forward in its journey of being written and edited, have you checked out Book 1? What about Book 2? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife
May 13, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Even though you 'know everything' and 'can see all the strategic plans', doesn't mean you're right. Everyone has something to add, everyone has a chance to turn the tide of the battle with their one act. Don't be blind, include the unseen. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

"Fire is cleansing" - old tattered Alchemic tome.
Pretty sure it was the fastest way to hide failures before anyone else could witness them. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Therapy anyone? How about a lil brown owl becoming 'old and wise' way before his years and pointing out something so simple, that he learned from you originally? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Those feels can influence those around you. It's not always simple to look and see what changes those might be, but they'll come out sooner than you know. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

When you believe in yourself, as well as everyone else, but it's still not enough. It brings upon you a shame that you cannot describe, a sense of uselessness that bogs you down in the feels. #yafantasy #writing #authorlife

Having fire on one end is bad enough, but on both? What did you eat? #yafantasy #writing #authorlife
