Not really mad that most of my social media ads now are for K-Pop Demon Hunter merch.

Every time I think I have this book formatted correctly, I find something else. *sigh* I really, really, REALLY need to learn how to use my Atticus subscription. 😂

It's Friday. I have the focus of an ADHD dog in a squirrel-infested forest.

SpaceX said their spacecraft experienced an "unexpected disassembly," and that is what I will now be calling all future mental spirals and breakdowns. 🚀

#WIPSnips WOTD: silence The reaction we all hope for when we put on our best little black dress. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

Today’s episode of “weird shit I’ve Googled as a writer” includes searching the various cuts of venison. Writing fantasy is wild, y’all.

#WIPSnips WOTD: neon Another one I didn't think would be in this WIP, but hey, I surprised even myself. 😂 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

#WIPSnips WOTD: groan When your magic comes through Song, except . . . you can't Sing a dang note. 🎶 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

(Add “how long to decontaminate blood from a creek” to my list of “weird shit I’ve Googled as a writer.” 🫣) #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

#WIPSnips WOTD: power When you tell your BFF the wild-and-crazy-can't-possibly-be-true-but-it-is truth and she . . . doesn't believe you. 🤣 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

#WIPSnips WOTD: honey Don't trust the tea. 🍯🐝☕ #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

What’s the greatest line in cinema? (Mostly I have just always loved the perspective of this shot.)

#WIPSnips WOTD: chaos War lands at the foot of the new king's throne just after he is coronated. Quite the auspicious start to one's reign . . . #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

Well. I'm not changing the paperback price of Salt Water and Song just because KDP is being a jerk about it. If I don't make royalties, I don't make royalties. But if you were thinking about picking up the paperback, pretty please do me a teensy favor and buy it by June 9. 💜 bit.ly/SWaS2024

Y'ALL. I just finished this book over the weekend and it was PHENOMENAL. I can't recommend it enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

#WIPSnips WOTD: bark Honestly wasn't sure I'd have anything in this WIP to match the word of the day, but here we are. With some context and everything. 😉 Because there's nothing like your BFF to call you on your bullshit. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

Figured out how to edit something on the website for work by looking at the code (please note: I am not a website coder) and now I feel kinda like a badass.

#WIPSnips WOTD: give I do love me some good angst, and these two serve it up with abandon. 💜 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

Simon is the goodest boy. 💜💜💜

Name a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

#WIPSnips WOTD: bed As every other night before, neither mentioned her need to have him close as she slept, nor his willingness to be so. Somehow it had felt more intimate on cold dirt near a fire than it had in the clinical comfort of the bed in the apartment safe house.

It me trying not to spill everything about certain characters in my WIP. 🤣

MY WIP IS OVER 60k!!!! The last line I wrote for the day: And Tyrzah was left alone in the cooled and congealing evidence of her curse. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amwritingfantasy

My single-wick candle recently revealed a second wick about halfway through burning and I'm not sure why this feels like it portends something, but there you go.

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally?

Weird shit I've Googled as a writer: - what happens to the human body when a spaceship crashes (one cosmonaut went liquid, and yes, that's in book 2) - specific organ damage caused by corsets - details of fetal pig dissection Show me your list!

Massive ebook project for work is DONE! I . . . am a magical badass. 💫 (Seriously, someone please agree with me because that thing sucked the soul out of me this week.)

Starbucks is playing "Umbrella" and I am having some hardcore aughts flashbacks. 😂

Me looking through the eighty billion open tabs on my work browser trying to figure out why it was so important to keep every single one of them. (I'll figure it out as soon as I close it and panic ensues.)
