Went for a walk today (and got sunburnt), and stopped by the bookstore as well!

Three new horror novels to go on my shelf now📚

Yesterday I started Bradbury’s writing routine for the sake of a future #authortube video.

Today I started Day 2 with a couple of Keats poems, and an interesting essay by Chesterton titled ‘On Pigs as Pets’.

Why no, I did not expect to be seeing adverts for a Motorola razr in 2024, thank you.

But do they come in hot pink?

I have finished experimenting with #yWriter and moved on to testing out #Manuskript

As far as these two go Manuskript is definitely the winner for me so far.

Got the audio recorded for my next video. Not directly about writing, but still on a topic that a lot of people who want to self-publish are concerned about—pen names.

Keep your eyes peeled for when that one’s done if you’re interested!

Todays big question to myself, do I cut my hair, or wait a month for a hairdresser appointment to open up?

It’s been three years since I last cut my hair and I did it myself.

Trying out #ywriter because I’m always interested in minimalist yet all inclusive writing programs. It’s good so far!

When I get stuck on a plot point, I go back and write out each beat in a single sentence, focusing on cause and effect. If I can’t think of why something happens and what it leads to, I know it’s a weak spot that needs attention.

The feeling when you get a 4.5 rating on an old, basically dead publication. Nothing better than knowing someone read and enjoyed your writing!

What do you do when the kid’s gone to school and husband is out for the morning? Write, of course.

I might take a little break from writing today to do some painting instead. It’s been a while since I got my oils out.

I don’t know why I never really used mind-maps or flow charts for plotting before, but now that I am it’s a lot better than just brainstorming in a document.

Decided to give mind mapping a go for plotting out all the random scenes of my next project. Hopefully it helps.

Learning to typeset your own books (just in good old Word. I’m too cheap for fancy software) is a pain in the ass, but definitely feels great when you get it done right.
