Ready for the good trouble💙
Happy to report that my inspiration seems to be back and I'm actively back to the novel writing! It's really tough to be creative when the sky is falling... bear with us💛

So like... what happened to the mass consumption of cats and dogs?

While I'm not giving up, I didn't anticipate my mental and physical health both taking such a major hit this month, and I'm wayyyyy behind my goal for 40k words written in Feb. Not gonna beat myself up, though. I'll try again next month💛

This flu hit different... I've been in an absolute balloony-floating-brain fog for a week. I sat down to write today finally and I'm pretty sure it's the worst chapter I've ever written😂😂

Flu. Gross.

How is anyone supposed to write 40k words when they can't even keep their eyes open😵‍💫
February 10, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Another 1,300 words are officially WRITTEN... more tomorrow!

A few pics I grabbed before the rain started melting the remnants of the ice storm we had last night!

Last night I had a dream that I got a letter from immigration saying I was being deported, and woke up in a cold sweat and mid-panic attack.

In case anyone was wondering how it feels to be an immigrant in the USA these days😞

Day 2 of 28: I've written 2,438/40k words so far. Not a bad start!

Okay, BlueSky, hold me accountable this month!! I'm starting at 13,626 words written, and the goal is to get to 53,626 by the end of February...
February 1, 2025 at 5:51 PM
It's Feb 1, and that means it's DAY 1 of my one-month writing challenge! 40k words by Feb 28.

Let's go!

This week somehow feels heavier. Maybe it's because the anticipation is over and the reality is here, and it's as bad as we imagined. Trying not to give in to the overwhelm...

Using what little political energy I possess this weekend to explain to people that executive orders only apply to the executive branch and that literally no one else has to call it the Gulf of America 🤡

Got to 11k words on my WIP last night... gotta keep the momentum going!

Thinking about doing a self-imposed 40k word writing challenge for February. It's a short month🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyone want to join me?

Checking in on everyone... how are we all feeling tonight? I've tried to ignore things all day but I can't ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach...

Welp... officially lost my biggest book selling platform last night😭 Hoping the wonderful crowd over here on BlueSky will end up being the new BookTok💛 indie authors are going to feel the tiktok ban HARD.

Taking a break from watching any TV news since election night has been so incredibly healing. I'm so disenchanted with them all I may never go back...

Love this annual display in my hometown🥰
