I drafted a lot and thought about my new idea, plus reading into the new genre I want to dip into. It was a very fulfilling month and I can’t wait to continue working on the same projects this month! Hopefully finishing some drafting soon. #writesky

This week, I decided to dnf a book I wasn’t enjoying, started reading a new book that I liked so far, and listened to music when I’m not drafting to hone my creativity. Songs with amazing lyrics really cultivated my imagination. #booksky #writesky

I just finished reading an ARC of Emiko Jean’s newest YA romance, and I was so swooned! Loved the tension, the banter, the suspense of not knowing who the protagonist was going to end up with, and the raw vulnerability on the page. It was a great 5-star read. #writesky #booksky

The setting of my story is a small mom-n-pops restaurant in my hometown Pittsburgh. It’s set in the summer time because I want the hot and humid climate to contrast the cold and lonely interiority of my characters. #writingcommunity #amdrafting

Ritual. Yes. I indeed have one, and it's one that's proven to be quite effective, barring injury that kinda screws even it up.
Write at night, coffee/chocolate brew, music to get into frame, write until 2 Am. Given me 4 first drafts this year so far this ritual.

Not much of a ritual, but I love writing with my door closed so I can write like no one is watching. And being a part of a writing community is a big help to help me stay on track. Having accountability partners who celebrate small wins with you is everything!
