Everybody clap I wrote the first paragraph of my rewrite this morning after weeks of nothing. But don’t clap too loud, I promised myself I’d write a synopsis before I started working on the actual book and there’s still no synopsis in sight.

I really wish I was one of those people who was cool and mysterious about writing and just showed up to my betas with a finished draft as a surprise. But unfortunately I cannot keep a secret for a second and also I basically constantly need people to talk things out with

Started to crochet a crayon (or crayololo according to my 18mo) and I thought it would be a simple little project to get back into crocheting. 3 nights in and this thing still isn’t done because I underestimated how big it is.

Woke up at 2am with a really cool line AND I immediately wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget. Rereading it back now, it’s good but doesn’t fit into my draft anywhere. So that’s a bummer

The YA publishing crisis isn’t that we need more mature YA books or a Mature YA label, it’s that we need more YA books published for teens of all ages and less YA books published as YA but also wanting to reach Adult audiences. Adults have plenty of books published for them.

Officially starting my first revision pass. Currently this book is sitting at 112,023 and I’d like to get it under 110,000… after adding descriptions and more interiority and other details to make it flow better. Sounds doable

when you self-publish, 80%+ of your income is likely dependent on Amazon. unless you can figure out how to sell direct, which usually involves PayPal (no problems there!) and giving Meta ridonk $$$ for facebook/IG ads.

Mentally this week has been super stressful but I think the thing that just put me over the edge was when I was explaining to my supervisor how many files I had left to deal with and she looked at me appalled because I shouldn’t have that much work. …but…I do?

Also request them from your local public library. Write to your state gov't demanding them. Write to your federal reps & demand them. Invest in them for your local free little library or mutual aid group. Suggest them at your book clubs. Make it known that gov't is censoring them.

A nice way to end a stressful work day is to unwind with a drink, some goldfish crackers, and editing a rough chapter and laughing at some of the dumbest attempts of jokes I’ve come up with!
