I have always preferred physical notes over files on my laptop.

“I’m an author,” I mumble to myself, as I Google parts of the body someone can survive being stabbed.

Me to myself: You'll never be represented by [dream agent] if you don't query [dream agent]
Myself, clapping back: (gestures at mentorship, genre change, incorporated feedback from other dream agents) Yeah but aren't you glad we kept them in reserve until now?

Air diffuser with scents
The weird things authors do to get themselves into the story...🤭
My main POV characters smell like Jasmin, Sandalwood, and 'fresh soap' respectively.
So, I got these scents for my diffuser, to figure out exactly how that smells.
Dedication to the cause, hehe 🫣

You ever think of a great #monster you want some of your #characters to face, and then realize they would be so out of their depth against such a thing that they'd all die horribly if you did that? And then have to backpedal because you don't want them to die?

Trying to do one "author" thing per day is sometimes a stretch, but hey, I got my beta readers some more chapters, answered some emails, and did a few edits in chapter 1. Slowly but surely inching closer to publishing. #writing #authorthings

Sitting at home. Recovering post-workout.
Just got a GREAT idea for a scene in my current story.
Go to sit down and write; and it vanishes.
Completely gone.
*sigh*

I just checked my calendar, and realized it is 1 week until Book 2 - and the conclusion - of Ruinous Return hits Amazon/KU/Audible.
Can't wait! So excited to finish a series and see how people react to the character arcs ending!

Whoo boy. 55k words edited. Some days you just gotta forget about writing and focus on improving what exists.

The absolute RAGE when I realized I deleted a whole scene somehow from my first chapter. And I didn’t make a backup. And I THOUGHT I was done with the book.

It's just one of those days. A day where you sit down, utterly drained, and you only want to drink a beverage and let your mind do absolutely nothing.
Unfortunately, for authors, that blissful silent never truly stays.
The ideas flow, and they must be writ.

Ahh, I have those butterflies. Writing a side-plot romance, and keeping it SUPER slow burn, and then FINALLY hitting that high note where the characters reveal their feelings...gah it fills me with the warm fuzzies.

I sat down for my scheduled writing time today and after a few sentences it just felt off. I was about to call it, but decided to stick with it. After a little over an hour I ended up with almost 1300 words down and they’re pretty solid at that.
Keep at it writers! #AuthorsofBlueSky #AuthorThings

Was going through some old sketchbooks and rediscovered this one that I did in about 15 mins at a Barnes and Noble. I think I might use it as a basis for a character in an upcoming story. #authorsofbluesky #authorthings #sketchbook #sketching #art

That feeling when a character reveals themselves to you through dialogue…priceless.

It's always fun to wake up on a Saturday, excited to spend a day writing and relaxing.
But then reality kicks in and you realize, "Oh, I need to clean today."

It is time.
Dinner is eaten. PJs are put on. Tea is in hand.
It is time to write.
