OK story update! The short story I am working on is not finished yet, however, the first half of it is (2400 words), so I submitted the first half to the group that is putting together the anthology for critique this weekend. Will keep working on the second half. #Iamwriting #writingcommunity

Sometimes I think 'how is the writing going?' can be 100% answered by 'How clean is your bathroom right now?' because .... procrasticleaning is a thing :) #iamwriting #writingfantasy #shortstory AHHHH I need to get this done.

Dear #Norton 360, I will never be reinstalling your product because that was REDICULOUS to uninstall you. 20 some clicks, two different attempts at trying to get me to tell you why. and not to mention the tricky menus to continue the cancel process. You're a piece of software not a gym membership.

Trying to finish this short story, and this boy is tight here being too cute for words. #iamwriting #fantasy #cat #mainecoon

So I had big plans to write yesterday ... but my mom fell. She got to a phone at 9:30 am so spent all day with her, half of it at the hospital. The pull cords in her apartment stopped working a week before they were supposed to. Rush ordered a help I've fallen button. She's OK.

The best part of after a convention. Waking up in your own bed with your cat. I feel exhausted but more motivated than ever to finish these edits! #KATSUCON was amazing, but ready to get back to work writing! #iamwriting

Just got home from #katsucon and my first purchase as it's often the car, was from @jenosonbsky.bsky.social. some are for me, some are presents, and some are just because they are awesome! Also how awesome to be remembered year to year.

Made it as far as the couch after getting home from #katsucon. My cat is so happy I am back that i am now trapped here :)

So heading out to the con in cosplat

Attended a wonderful panel this morning at katsucon. Completely worth getting up early for - even with a migraine. @bbybugcosplays.bsky.social and Taneè did an amazing job. 100% recommend.

Please keep an eye out for the artists at katsucon this year in the artist alley. They lost hours and in many cases product with the pipe in the ceiling bursting. Support your artists. #katsucon

Sorry I have been so absent here, but I am going to be at Katsucon this weekend and the pre con crunch of getting reaedy has been taking every moment :)

Almost my favorite time of year. Just waiting for my friend to clear customs!! We'll be at Katsucon this coming weekend!

It's the first Monday of the month that means my writing group. Today's topic is worrying resources #iamwriting #writinggroup Some new books some older books a little variety.

A break from writing to skate figure skating news. The ashburn ice house has posted a good fund me for the families of those lost in flight #flight5342 #skating gofund.me/153039da

There is now a page now dedicated to *verified* fundraisers for victims and families of the plane crash yesterday, which includes some of the skaters, coaches, and families The link is here if you’re interested: www.gofundme.com/c/act/help-d...

Sitting in Barnes and Nobel and writing chapter summaries instead of being in an empty office constantly refreshing the news about the plane crash last night. Love and Light to everyone affected by this tragedy. No words ....

OK! Did I get everything done today? No. Did I get the necessary things done? More or Less 2 doctor's appointments and then a writing group at 6PM and then I am done and MIGHT be able to write a bit tonight. Did send ch 1&2 off to editor :) Did read all feedback on chapter 7

OK now I can go back to writing. I am still working on Ch 9, got great feedback on Ch 7 so might hit that now while that is fresh. Tomorrow is busy and I have a once a month writing group thing I am attending as well in the evening. All good. Excited and energized! #iamediting #iamwriting #Fantasy

Yesterday was AMAZING! We held an event at a local library 'Introduction to Writing Groups'. We had representatives from several groups, handouts, informative presentations and a huge wall of the books that members of the groups had published. Very inviting and informative. #writing #iamwriting

Sitting with my daughter at advising on the first day of the semester because her course was canceled. Wish us luck!

Bailing out of the writing retreat a bit earlier than planned so I can get out before the storm instead of after. Was great! Yes, I was only here about 2 days, but I got 2 chapters completely edited AND added about 2000 words. Feeling better about this. Loving my book! #iamwriting #fantast

This sounds so cool!!!

Set up in my little corner of the house to write :) Also, my phone tried to change I am writing to I am whoring ... OK time to start on these edits!

Next stop writing retreat!!!! #iamwriting Well I will be in about 2 hours

After my chaotic day yesterday, I am almost ready to go to my writing retreat. Packing for an extra day incase I'm snowed in

Support Your Library! Are you an author or artist? Bet they would LOVE if you submitted a proposal to do an informational workshop. 'Compelling main characters' 'How to write Dialog' 'How to write a Haiku 'Drawing your pet with charcoal' So many options. Give your time! #iamwriting #library
