Today was a really great day. I got some writing done, ran errands, took the youngest to their piano lesson. I even snuck in a short nap. Look at me, being productive.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater.

Knowledge is power…

What e-readers are we using? I've long since stopped using my Kindle (go download your books to your computer. You have until the 26th) and I'm looking for something new. I'm pro physical media, but I can't carry the 5 books I'm currently reading. My purse isn't that big. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

1912 words down for today! Not only that, the set up for book three has been established. Look at me. Being productive and doing stuff.

My spirt just about left my body. My laptop battery died before I could get it charged. The screen was black when it turned back on. I could see light behind the screen but that's it. Several minutes of furious searching later, it's working. The budget isn't here for a new laptop.

Me: You're going to be annoyed. I brainstormed a book over the weekend. If I stopped what I'm doing I could plot it and start work on it tomorrow. John: Shut up. 🀣🀣🀣

Guess who's back in the house! It's me! I'm back at SU&W. The plan is to work on the chapter I started yesterday.

It should be less about telling Black people (Black women especially) that you're an ally/accomplice. More about talking to people who aren't. We don't need a report. We need to see you moving, doing the things you typically wait for us to start. Because WHEN WE START MOVING.......

The creativity fire hose has trickled to a leaky faucet. I've gotten everything I could down for the Pan story. There are questions to answer, ideas to futher explore. I fell good about what I have so far.

So... ...the thing is...I haven't actually started the plotting yet. I've been brainstorming for like hours. I've got character reference photos, I've got a bit of the world built, I've got a VERY short scene. It's gonna be so good!

Just so you know... ...Pan and Wendy's 'relationship' is very much giving 'just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave'. My man is OBSESSED. It's not healthy really.

Temmy! What are you doing? You all ask. Plotting the book I said I wasn't going to because I was in the middle of something else.

I mean, you could have said you wanted me to watch it again. πŸ˜‚

I had to force myself away from my laptop because I was about to go buy index cards to start plotting. I'm really pleased with what I have so far. It's going to be so good (Yes, I am biased. 😜)

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me.... and that's why I'm jotting down ideas for my evil Peter Pan story. It's going to be so good!

I read the opening paragraph to the first book I seriously tried to write. It's so good... ...the rest not so much. πŸ˜…

Just between us writers... how many projects are currently working on? I want to stop my current book to plot a book I started in 2007. #BVM #BlackWritersSky #WritersSky #AmWriting #NowWriting

So, my new dosage hasn't kicked in so I'm still very much so riding the depression wave. I've not wanted to do much BUT I did make a lazy man's pot roast for my family. Still good though.

Thank you for reminding me. I'll get to it.

That Moment When: A MAJOR plot twist hits you in the face as you're writing. Where is this book going? I'm just a passenger at this point.

Guys! I've moved up in the world! I'm hosting today's SU&W!

The best thing about having a best friend who's a therapist is that you can tell them the most batshit thing and they don't bat an eye. I love her so much.

I mean I would.
