Funniest typo from tonight's drafting session: "My guy clenched" instead of "My gut clenched." My wife: "What's my guy clenching? Are things getting spicy?" Me: "SHUDDUP!" >.< #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky #AmDrafting

My greatest weakness as a writer is pacing. Once I work things out, I knock it out of the park, but this is what drafting is for, right? What’s your kryptonite when it comes to writing? #WritingCommunity #AuthorSky #IndieAuthor

🪦 to Amadeus, Peril, and Wyolet, the minor characters who didn’t make the cut for the second draft of this manuscript. I had fun naming you punny/ reference-based names only my wife would understand, but you’re dead weight that needs trimming for this story to improve. #WritingCommunity #Author

Query letter: ✅ Synopsis: ✅ Second draft of my manuscript to send to my publisher: 😅 I’m still working on it, but at least I got my greatest nemeses knocked out first! #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife #IndieAuthor #AuthorSky

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

Snuggling with my toddler while playing the Stardew Valley soundtrack so he’d finally take a nap. #MomLife
