This novella! Woo! I’m starting to sweat. I’m still thousands of words below the minimum word count. Worse, I didn’t write it order so its all just pieces. My focus is going to be sewing this Frankenstein together, while I iron out his skin at the same time. #deadline

I had to cancel a podcast interview to take mom to urgent care. It’s all good as long as she’s okay. I do some of my best writing in waiting rooms.

Day 2 of 13 of the horror novella challenge. #writingchallenge

Day 1 of 13 of the Stephen Graham Jones novella horror competition. #writingchallenge

First sleep, first coffee, and first breakfast were all nice. Now, I’m going back for second sleep. I’ll let you know how the rest of the seconds go. #goodmorning

It’s time to pack some book orders for my witch vampire thriller! #horror

OK, let’s go write a newsletter and finish the final read of the last six of this book!

August means I do a lot of writing and editing while in waiting rooms at doctors offices for my mom and for myself. #writing

My brain is anti-editing tonight.

One day I will figure out my perfect personal/writing schedule. #writingschedule

Someone complimented my book Ghosts of Black Bear Mountain… I will now smile all night and not sleep. #writer #compliments

When I have no plan, I do nothing. #planning #productivity #beingproductive

Tonight I am returning to a book that I was planning to release in 2020. I’ve been working on it off and on for over five years. #writer #eveningwriter #nightwriter

Today after my mini part-time job, I came home and added four new notes to my teen slasher novel idea. Now that my Kickstarter project over, I have time to play. 😊#writer #horrorwriter #horrorfan

Holy duck feet! I think I finished my final read of my Kickstarter witch novel! I’m ordering the final proof tonight. #writer #writing #writingmotivation

What’s the devil doing? #thesouth #southern #southernsayings

I’ve been editing throughout the day. Two chapters this morning, one before a nap. Two more before I cooked dinner for my mom. The goal tonight is four more… well two. I have to write my newsletter. There’s a link to join at the bottom of my author website. #writer #caregiver #indieauthor #indie

I didn’t make #5amwritersclub. I made the 3am club, but then quickly went back to sleep. Still, 7:40 isn’t bad for a Sunday. I got three chunky chapters done. Now I’m switching into Sunday #caregiver mode. #HappySunday.

I got seven chapters edited tonight. They were finally just simple readthrough’s. I am not going to know what to do when this project is over. I think I have about 15 more chapters to go. I’m hoping they are as simple as the ones I worked on tonight. #writer

It is currently 10 PM and I am hoping that I can join the #5AMwritersclub tomorrow morning.

I worked the 5am writers club this morning. I didn’t mean to, but I did. Two and a half hours later, I’m going back to bed. Hopefully I write another two and half when I wake up. #5amwritersclub

Less than 4 Hours left! #books

My new book order came in. 20 hardcovers and 20 paperbacks. Check out my author website. #spookyreads

I finished the final edit of my mm romance! I thought I was finished in January, but a bookstagramer said I needed more internal dialogue and a fellow writer suggested I rework the ending. Three and a half months later, the new & improved book is ready to go to the editor! #mmromance

I got 2 chapters edited this morning. 11 more chapters to go! #writing

Just one more chapter… It’s too early to go home, but this ear infection is making editing difficult. I’ll just do a simple read and make some notes, then home. #writerslife

Writing time starts in 15 minutes!

It’s rainy, but there’s a book to finish. Writing time starts in 11 minutes. #writingtime

Dear Lord, thank you that my bagel shop and the donut shop are both closed on Monday. Thank you. #weightloss

This time change is messing up my writing schedule. So tonight I’m only taking a five minute break and then I am off to the coffee shop. #author

The clocks aren’t the only thing shifting… remember—time doesn’t always work the way we think it does. In Middwood, some nights last longer than they should, and some shadows never seem to fade. Tomorrow pre-orders for Ghosts of Black Bear Mountain open. #DaylightSavingTime #HorrorReads

Two writers’ groups and three coffee shops. I call that Saturday. #horrorwriter

Turns out I’m not a robot after all. This morning’s 6:30 writing session didn’t start until 7:30. Even then, I only reach half of my writing goal. Grrr. #indieauthor

I’m supposed to leave for the coffee shop in one minute and I am about 10 minutes from being ready and five minutes from giving a damn. Just kidding. I’m getting up and changing clothes. #indiewriter

5:30 am writing session before a morning out to try and earn a few dollars? Yes I did. Even though I am mainly focused on editing, one project, I have decided to spend my mornings writing new words in a new story. The goal is only around 700-800 useable words. #5am

I just wrapped up writing for the night and my brain hurts.

I normally focus on one project at a time. However, after listening to a recent podcast, I have decided that I am going to write new words in the morning and edit a different story at night. I am mainly doing this to avoid burnout. #writingcommunity

It’s pretty embarrassing to have a customer service representative read off your Hotmail email address from the late 90s. I was blushing. #embarrassed

My contemporary witch thriller, Within Coven Walls is off to the editor! #horrorreader

I am going to head to my writing spot early tonight, in hopes to get a little bit more work done.

A day has ended, and I have only edited one chapter???

The final read for my MM romance has begun. I am already on chapter 7! #mmromance
