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

Just over 500 words tonight. I'm going to call that good as this scene's being sticky. It's a pivot point for one of the storylines, and it's being clingy about coming out. BUT! It was another trio day with writing, working out, and spending time with my bass. #amwriting #writersky #fantasy

And I got in a full trio day. Worked out, got through some more of the bass buzz course (as well as playing through some songs in general), and I just finished going through another round of edits on my latest short story. I feeling better about the polish on it now.

Win for today: I didn't want to go hit the weights today. Having a down mental day (which is weird given it was a solid weekend), but I made myself go out, and I feel better about it. I did almost drop the bench press bar on my head after my final set as I missed the rest on the left side.
