I need one of those nursery glider chairs, not because I have a baby, but because I, too, need to be rocked and soothed. Am I having a panic attack? Just put me in the chair until I stop fussing.

Info video about my new adult contemporary fantasy series, The Divine War Trilogy! This series has been my baby for the last 6ish years. Looking for beta readers for book 1 soon! ✨️⚔️✨️ www.instagram.com/reel/DGywcXi...

I think chicharrones should count as after gym protein, and I'm prepared to die on this hill.

It's wild which dexterity things are hard for me and which aren't. Sharp, even, winged eyeliner every day? No problem. Grabbing pills out of my pill case? Sit down and get comfortable, because that's gonna take a while. #neurodivergent

**Fellow Authors!!!** What did you do to make your use of beta readers the most helpful and productive? Was there software you used, questions you asked readers, etc. that made the process really worthwhile? I used an editor last time and no betas, so I appreciate all insight you can give! Thanks!

When times are dark, I rewatch The Lord of the Rings (extended edition, ofc).

It took 6+ hours and a lot of cursing, but we've filed our taxes. Please send beer.

Cutting my nails shorter before writing (typing) is the equivalent of putting my hair in a ponytail at the gym: I mean *business*

I cannot have the word "groups" in one sentence three times 🤦🏽‍♀️

Alright, diving back in from the beginning to edit this mofo (affectionate) -pushes up sleeves-

Finished my second rewrite of book one in my trilogy! Cut 34,050 words this round, for a total of ~66,000 words cut since the first draft. Still need to edit and condense a bit more, but tonight, I'll just focus on celebrating. It's been quite the journey!

Brevity is not my specialty. 😅

On the last chapter of my book 1 rewrite 😭 Yes, I'll still have to go back and edit this draft, but it's still a huge milestone!

Finally out of the battle scene 🙏🏼🙌🏽

They have a lot of the LOTR cast coming to C2E2. I might have to go this year. 🤔

Being a writer with (suspected) Reynaud's syndrome is not ideal. My job is to sit here and type, and my fingers will routinely go all stiff and cold because only the smallest amount of blood is getting to them, while the rest of my body is perfectly fine and warm. 😑

I will never write a battle this long again. -crosses fingers behind back just in case-

Nothing like some Doctor Who soundtracks to get the words flowing.

Okay, but do we know that a little treat WOULDN'T make me feel better?

My brain is more tired than sleep can fix.

Today's vibe: ✨Writing desperate and gory battle scene while listening to up-beat Saint Motel album✨
