Getting Started

The 3rd draft is killing me and I feel like my brain is beginning to calcify. How do I refresh myself so the 3rd draft feels just as exciting as the 1st? #author #writing #brainhurt #3rddraft #booksky

Rewrites an entire chapter to be more entertaining and more descriptive and emphasize certain themes more. Notices every chapter after that now has cascading issues with the rewrite. #author #booksky #writing #whatsanoutline #sendhelp

Me sitting in front of the computer staring at my novel: "How am I going to end this chapter? Work brain work!" Me laying in bed 4 hours later: "I know how to end the chapter! Damn it!" #author #writer #booksky #fantasy #brainfart

I still don't understand how I've read through my story 5 times now and I still keep finding random words in the middle of sentences that makes no sense. Who is writing this mess? #booksky #writing #editing #authors

My Oldest to my youngest: "Don't crash my magna tiles BROther. I don't want to bite you." At least he used his words... #parenting #toddlers #brothers

I have recently completed my 3rd draft of my novel, and am looking for Beta readers. If anyone wants to read a 129k word story of a magical lawyer breaking a king's oath, let me know. #writers #booksky #authors #betareaders

Things that would make my life significantly less stressful as a parent: If my kids toys would stop making sounds when they aren't actively playing with them. Stop being so needy, they're playing with blocks not this electronic plastic monstrosity. #parenting #kidstoys #overstimulated

Wow, it’s a little bit warm here today! Sure hope it doesn’t swing to below freezing temperatures over the next 24 hours ✨
