I mean...wow, go me. And it makes sense; this book had the clearest, concisest outline I've ever done even though I hacked it to absolute bits at the end of last month when I decided that this standalone, planned out to be about 80k words total, was going to be blown up into a 300k+… Continue reading So, I Finished A Draft In Record Time

I write books. Sometimes people enjoy them.
#1LineWed – Theme: Was
I think blood is mentioned in every single chapter of this book, but I swear there aren't even any vampires in it (until book two), and this main character is an edgelord, but also it's supposed to be campy, and sometimes I'm super confident about these drafts and other times I am like what the… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Was
A Handful of Thoughts on Saturday Night
I just watched Don't Look Up. The only thing "wrong" with this movie is that the people who need to learn from it absolutely won't, and it gives the rest of us with brains in our heads worse anxiety than we've already got. Seriously, I was on the verge of a panic attack the whole… Continue reading A Handful of Thoughts on Saturday Night
The Tide
Why is it a race to as many books as possible? Why isn't it a race to the best books possible? (I mean, I know why: money. We need it to survive. This is just a general spewing of thoughts...) This is something I am struggling with, and I want to understand and accept, and… Continue reading The Tide
#1LineWed – Theme: This
This might make no sense out of context. but I think I've posted the context as an excerpt before? Regardless, edits and new ideas change early drafts, and so he is one of my interminable sentences stuffed up against one of my teeny, tiny ones, a favorite combo. Mini update: holy shit things are going… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: This
February 2022 Newsletter and Freebies And Fuck Ups
I made such a stupid mistake when I sent this thing yesterday. One of the benefits of Mailchimp (and I don't know about this in comparison to other mailing list providers) is that you can "duplicate" a past email, and then edit it and send it as a new one. This is great if you… Continue reading February 2022 Newsletter and Freebies And Fuck Ups
#1LineWed – Theme: So
This draft surprises me every day which is a good stage to be in. Shall we throw in a little touch deprivation and see what that does? Why the fuck not?
Today I Feel Awful, But I’m Doing Great
I don't know why my body insists on alerting me when I'm ovulating to the point I am crippled yet won't let any of my other baby-making parts work? It's incredibly rude. But here I am, barely functioning on about three hours of sleep because some-ovary has decided to be a total and utter bitch… Continue reading Today I Feel Awful, But I’m Doing Great

#1LineWed – Theme: Long
I was very excited to see what the writers over on Twitter came up with for this theme. *winky face* Now that I've got such a new draft it was rough looking for something sharable. I discovered I use the word "long" or a variation on it way too many times, and none of the… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Long
