New book I picked up from the library! It had been a long time since I actually looked through bookcases instead of just requesting online and this pretty lady stood out to me. I can't wait to read her. #reading #books #booksky #mystery

Things I did instead of writing: yoga!
I've been feeling stiff lately, and I decided to get back into stretching. My body feels so loose!🫠 Hopefully, I can keep this up at least a couple times a week. #wellness #yoga #feelgood

He knows when you're sleeping, when you're awake. . .and apparently when you're writing lol. There's something cozy about writing under Christmas lights. I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful holiday and everyone who didn't enjoyed their day anyway! #writing #wip #holidays

Around this time of year, these are the cookies I think of and miss dearly. They were mine and my grandma's favorite. She'd have to get multiple lol. I made some homemade ones a couple years back. Guess I'll have to do that again this year! #cookies #raspberry #baking #memories #holidays

Things I did instead of writing: cleaning!
My brother and his wife needed help getting paint stains off the floor. To anyone painting, please use a drop cloth or something similar when you do! My whole body hurts😣, but I was happy to help. #cleaning #painting #sore

Things I did instead of writing: baking pie! While this wasn't my first time baking apple pie, it was my first time getting the lattice crust to look so good. 🥹 #pie #applepie #baking #delicious

squirrel: *points gun*
me: what do you want me to do?
squirrel: *gestures at sign*
me: alright, i get it *opens book drop*
squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion*
me: NOT A SQUIRREL!
squirrel: *disappears into book drop*
me: *whispers* forgive me, keith
Sign on a library book drop sign requesting people to yell "NOT A SQUIRREL" to confirm they are human and not a squirrel trying to steal Keith's lunch.

“The main thing is to write
for the joy of it. Cultivate a work-lust
that imagines its haven like your hands at night
dreaming the sun in the sunspot of a breast.
You are fasted now, light-headed, dangerous.
Take off from here.”

Things I did instead of writing: making pizza!
This was my first time making pizza dough (and sauce). It was easier than I expected. I will definitely be making one with more toppings next time! 😋 #pizza #dough #baking #yummy

New excerpt from Solomon's Sins! I picked some dialogue that highlighted the relationship between Solomon and Raul since we'll be seeing a lot of them. Spoiler: they don't get along.😓 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction
