Writing has been sticky and sluggish of late, and I think I finally realized the reason. Fixing it requires shifting where I see this particular series ending. The original idea that spawned these books was a loose trilogy idea that, in theory, would fall after what I'm working on currently.

I'm the note taker for one of my D&D campaigns (well, both of them, but the other is less intensive). We've been playing since 2020 and are now level 17. I just finished indexing all of the game notes along with a Dramatis Personae. I want to give some appreciation to @gregmunder.bsky.social 1/4

Definitely a sticky writing night. I managed just over 1200 words, but I need to do some thinking about how I'm going to get from Point A to Point B in Act III to hopefully make things flow better. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy

Even though I know there's no reason for it, I always have a bout of anxiety when an editor returns comments. So first part of writing will be addressing said notes.

1633 words. Tonight also hit a milestone as I'm now north of 100K words and closed Act II. I would have liked to have gone to hear @delilahsdawson.bsky.social speak tonight, but I needed to get words on paper. Onward and upward. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy

When you run a D&D game where half of your players are queer guys and almost none of them watch wrestling, you have to explain who Rhea Ripley is when you use her as a short cut description for an NPC.

I planned to get some work done on The Thousand Doors today, but I'm fairly certain it's not going to happen. I did work out, and I did do some creative stuff (notably game prep for D&D tonight). Back at the writing tomorrow, likely going up to the Bux again to drink tea and spit out words.

Right at 850 words down while working on getting dinner ready. The timer went off just as I hit a reasonable stopping point. I got my workout in today and we'll see if I can get some bass in before D&D tonight. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy

Three Trio days in a row. I realized the Starbucks by me is open until 10, so I used it for a change of scenery today. It definitely helped as I got to the end of the first scene for this chapter. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #fantasy
