I’ve realized that I am not made for mountains. I need more air and humidity in my life.

But the hot chocolate is helping.

New WIP is about a cult of widows in small town Virginia and the woman who returns home to find her childhood best friend leading them. (I’m attempting to have all OG photos for those aesthetics !)

Once I’m into a story and I know where it’s going, I’m up between 5am and 5:30am drafting/revising/etc.

But at the beginning of projects or during other rest times, it’s just during pockets of the day. I almost always have scrivener up, but I’m not always actively working on words.

Hanging out at the barn is our new favorite thing. Now I need to figure out how to write while the kids play in the hay.
