Bit out of nowhere, but I have an announcement! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Yesterday, I finally got around to editing and uploading my children's book! (the one that I made for my Master's thesis over a year ago lol) It's on Kindle Unlimited if anyone want's to read it ^^ www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3J47QS...

Chapter 51: Silver Claws is available on Royal Road! ^^ www.royalroad.com/fiction/9305...

This week on The Stubborn Light of a Dying Flame: Tue, Mar 18th Chapter 51: Silver Claws Thur, Mar 20th Chapter 52: Forest Spirit

Do you ever have a weird nightmare that no one else would consider a nightmare but you *know* was a nightmare because of your weird brain? I cut out wheat recently and I had a nightmare that I totally forgot that I did that and ate a bagel.

It has been a bad week for writing. I've had to force myself to show up for *every. single. word*. (and I've thrown out more than I've kept) I'm hoping the motivation/inspiration returns in a couple days, otherwise, I'll have to find better ways to recharge between writing sessions.

one of my favorite unconventional fried rice incredients: crushed almonds. they toast really nicely because they're small and they add protein and a nutty flavor without killing your jaw (I love almonds but my jaw can't handle them raw) now I just need to find a substitute for soy sauce...

I'm biting the bullet and going full gluten-free for a month (including trace amounts and cross contamination) if I seem grumpy for a while, that's why lol

Easing myself back into making art again. I don't hate it as much as I did at the end of my masters and I'm hoping it was just burnout talking. I miss drawing, but my skills slipped so much in the last year and a half that it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get them back.

I saw a post saying "Mayonaise is basically sandwich lotion" and I'm like "yep, that's enough facebook for today." the only reason I'm still on there is I have a lot of friends and family back in the states that aren't on other social media.

I'm getting some negative feedback on my serial and on the one hand, i hate disappointing people, but on the other hand, I'm getting some great feedback for the compiled editing stage (currently working on book one) I just hope people bear with me through major edits. DX

This... this has to be clickbait, right? They're so close to figuring it out XD

same goes for twitch!

Why do all the anxiety self help "guides" always start with telling yourself why you're safe? I know I'm *safe* i cant sleep and i want to claw my skin off because the sheets are itchy but im *safe*. i need coping mechanisms for *general* anxiety. The kind that is inherently irrational.

Also, money received through the app is witheld from the creator for 75 DAYS. So not only are you as a member being charged extra, the creator has to wait 2.5 months to get it. It's bad for everyone. Sub through the mobile site or desktop!

You know, ive never really thought about it, but "a picture says a thousand words" was much more meaningful before i became a writer. Like, dude, thats only a third of a chapter. The inciting incident hasn't even happened yet. If we're lucky, we've made it past the prologue XD

I may or may not have started another wip and it may or may not be more fun than my current wip… I mean, my current wip is my priority, but at least I have something I can whittle away at when I need a break from Rayna and her endless misadventures.

me (yesterday): oh my gosh, this writing is crap. it's terrible. why do I even try? should i just give up? me (today): Wait a second, this is awesome! What the hell happened yesterday? Sometimes, you just gotta let the writing sit overnight and come at it with a fresh pair of eyes. lol

It's been a less than stellar week. I have a visa trip coming up and those always make me anxious. couple that with my near inability to write something I'm happy with and the few hours I spent looking into the possibility of finding a job and I've just been banging my head against a wall all week.

Got some basmati rice to put my chili in. Feeling fancy~ ^^ (I know, this isn't fancy at all, but as someone who grew up on pasta and puree tomato sauce, this here is *effort* lol)

I live on the 15th floor of my apartment building and the pipes are wierd, so sometimes, when someone cooks in the 7th floor communal kitchen, i can smell it in my bathroom. Someone just had fried chicken γ… γ… 

Rousseau would have been a great blogger I think.

any reposts of my books to help me keep my streak would be most appreciated πŸ₯ΊπŸ’™

Hi! I'm Adrienne and I never saw a dragon book *cover* I didn't like. I'm so annoyed because I was gonna say "never saw a dragon book I didn't like" then I remembered that fourth wing exists now...

not me doing things while listening to music I like because I want to listen to a few bangers without crying (which I do if I give the lyrics even a second of attention lol)

Made the mistake of looking for jobs and now I'm depressed. I don't think theres a single job in Korea (that I qualify for) that will give me a Visa rather than just hire a korean. Living in a foreign country sucks, but I'm sure as hell not going back to America at the moment...

had semi-homemade chili for dinner and it is *divine*! recipe: a jar of tomato sauce (something sweet and meaty) a half cup of milk (if the sauce is thick) a thing of cream cheese lentils chili seasoning and salt to taste

Reposting to spread the word. Avoid joining any patreon through apple.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater How about the first movie scene i remember in theaters? (Don't remember the rest of the movie. But i saw a three headed puppy and yelled "cool" in the middle of the suspensful pause. Might have ruined the effect lol)

The worst part of writing isn't the editing or the rewriting or even the advertising. it's file management. I'm currently splitting my 170k word and counting serial into monthly files so it doesn't take 30 min to open every day. lol

I went to the park today and wrote outside. It was great, and my usually useless thursday actually turned into half a chapter drafted. sunlight and fresh air works wonders! now if only my fingers wouldn't freeze. (it's 12C here so not bad, but still not good for 45 minutes of typing lol)

Chapter 46: I Have Horns?! is now up on Royal Road! #royalRoad #newChapter #LitRPG www.royalroad.com/fiction/9305...

lol another self help that I dnfed at around 2 min because he brought up the '7 by 7 rule' as he called it. "if it won't matter in 7 years, don't spend more than 7 minutes worrying about it."

Happens all the time 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

My favorite sentence from my WIP this week: "Patty stowed her sword in her Inventory before her tendency to talk with her hands resulted in a missing limb." Why does this make me think that she learned this the hard way? lol
