Idk how this is controversial but let me make this loud and clear: piracy is STEALING and AI does NOT belong in creative spaces. End of discussion.

My favorite part about scheduling myself off for weekends is when I manage to write 1,600 words on a Sunday. It's like free words! When I come back to my book tomorrow, my goal will be magically lower. Isn't that fun? #itsthelittlethings

Well, this story has taken a very unexpected turn, but I think I like it!

1,782 words today. Maybe more after we finish homeschooling, but we'll see. No promises 🫠

I haven't written in a few days. The world got heavy and I needed to disconnect. I disappeared into Palia for a while. It's lovely there. 10/10

Today, the words flowed. Raging against abusive men and the power they command.

1,969 words. Feels good and cathartic. 10/10 😁

It was a good day for words! Bad day for heads, though. Mine is aching. Time for some water and a little Will Trent!

Officially, I'm halfway to my goal. Unofficially, I have no idea how long this book is gonna be 😅 Today's writing session was 6 pages of plot that I have no idea where it came from but I'm curious to see where it goes!

Bam! Did it again!

Word count goal: 1,146
Actual word count: 1,317

I'm nearly halfway to my total word count goal and I'm realizing that goal is gonna be too short. This will likely be my longest book yet.

I got 500 words into my 1200 word goal and my kids decide they want lunch. An hour earlier than normal. #momswhowrite

Still, cozy writing sessions are lovely.

•doesn’t want to hear about politics

•supports the FOTUS and voted for eggs

•DNFs books because of a character’s sexual orientation, race or culture

Please DO NOT follow me. I’m not the one for you 💙

I'm cranky and irritable and I still have so much stuff today. I haven't written in a couple of days. I've got laundry in the dryer. I need to do my 2.5 mile walk. Oh, and write then schedule my newsletter. I just wanna cuddle on the couch with my dog and watch TV 😫

To the person who bought my entire Enchanted series on Amazon today, THANK YOU. You are the reason I did a crazy happy dance in the middle of Cane's with my kids.

I had a very productive day. Made herbal infused coffee. Homeschooled the kiddos without any issues. Wrote 1,500 words. Went to costco and bought a year's supply of toilet paper... now I just need to walk the last 3,000 step of my 8,300 goal and I'll be done with the day!

Do you watch Criminal Minds to relax and decompress or are you emotionally stable?

I drove for 3 hours today and didn't get to listen to any books 😭 I forgot my ear buds on the charger (of course) and my books aren't exactly kid-friendly...

No new words today. I did go down a massive rabbit hole and start a very intense prepper list on Amazon.

You know, just in case...

Today's #wordcountgoal is 987.

Easily accomplished from my laptop while cuddled up with my heated blanket. This 40⁰F "rain" isn't working for me

#wordcountwednesday

Today's writing session:
1,142 words

Total words:
29,691

Estimated goal:
80,000

Honestly, it'll probably be a lot longer than that, but that's always my goal for the first draft.

Dabble says my word count goal for today is 990.

I think, personally, I need to hit 1000. Because 990 just seems like a weird number. 1000 is smoother.

Currently at 185 words and describing a ball. I imagine, if I wanted to drown people in details, I could do the full 1k on just the gowns...
