OK so #writing. I'm starting a new book. But I've made the mistake of saying a little about what is about and I've gotten a lot of ... huh??? Reactions. Should I just trust my gut and go ahead or should I hand people the first scene and see what they say? #urbanfantasy #fantasy

I have word open .... so I'm kinda working? I love the gala so much. #gpfra So thankful Peacock is streaming the gala this year.

Illia was amazing as always and I LOVE adam's new program so much. I still need to catch up on the other disciplins before the gala but my feed should be going back to normal until next weekend :) #GPFRA

AHhhh Adam!!! OK that free skate was amazing. That first landing was so clean, and the transition from the slide, breathtaking, but that quad lutz was just .... wow. Yes the quds were great, but that 3Lz was art. #GPFRA

Up early to watch men's Figure Skating this morning. So far everyone has been so good. So many of my favorites are skating today, Lukas ....oh I don't remember the Olymic Rings tattoo, maybe it was covered before. bsky.app/hashtag/GPFRA At least the camera work has gotten better :)

OK, finally able to catch up on some skating. Starting with the men's free and WHOA did Luc Ecomodides .. did not expect that program, and this will be real interesting to see it after some more time with it. #figureskating #GPF2025

Hey!! This is a thing I am involved with. If you are in fairfax county or loudoun county virginia, we are holding novel writing events at the library!! Also we will be at #risucon #fantasy #romance #writing

It's book launch day! The Paperback looks live and the ebook is live in some markets and should go live in the rest of them in the next few hours. MLM Figure skating Romance Dmitrii is broken, but Tyler thinks he can fix him. Will be selling at Risucon this weekend www.amazon.com/Fear-Falling...

I will have at least 10 copies for RisuCon this weekend. I have 10 arriving on Tuesday and the other 40 might be here but might not. BUT I will not be empty handed

OK I need all the good thoughts. Amazon estimate is exactly 1 day too late for the event I am vending at ... but I for my proof several days early so I have hope. I need the 3rd not the 4th.

I will make a nice neat post tomorrow when I am not exhausted, but after fighting with pdf settings and section formatting and redoing the headers and footers 2 million times, I have hit the 'order proof' button on Amazon

7pm and 42 pages to go in this formatting, then make sure the headers are right, make the table of contents and the title page and copyright page and I think I will be able to upload :) I am so tired!

So here's a picture from when instead of save a cat, I did shave a cat.

Oh, I forgot to post the thing that made me laugh way too much yesterday. Save the cat?? I thought you said shave the cat! I'll try to get pictures of the freshly shaved kitty tummy later. Just long haired cat 🐈 problems

I am about halfway through the fibal read through, even though I did the med screw up last night. Tomorrow is dedicated to finishing this, then Sunday is the day I move my mom to the new place

OK, I got the first 50ish pages done ... My mom moves to a new community on Sunday and I can NOT wait. Evidently the fire sprinklers in her current apartment leaked / malfunctioned / I don't know and there was water all over her floor when she woke up. If she had slipped ... *deep Breaths*

11 1/2 hours for the final edit on this piece. I thought I'd get a good chunk done before the tree guys got here, but nope. *deep breath* Final edit starting. Page 1 of 29

It got too hot outside, so inside with the cat. IF I want to have this in the hands of the last 2 people by Monday, THIS has to be the schedule Today - 22, 23, 24 & 25 Sunday the side edits that I have notes about Monday hand off final read throughs I am on page 184 of 227, so 43 pages

And let's see how editing goes today. It's beautiful. And i am on the deck away from distractions.

Ok new revised schedule since I am now TWO chapters behind the last schedule. Today - 19, 20, 21, 22 Friday - 23, 24, 25 Saturday the side edits that I have notes about Sunday get this into the hands of final read throughs I am on page 167 of 227, so 60 pages #editing #writing

Accountability again. Chapter 16 is done Today 17, 18, 19, 20 Thursday 21, 22, 23 Friday 24,25 Saturday the Side edits that I left notes about Sunday DONE Won't lie. More than a little worried I won't hit my deadline.

So the GOAL is to be finished with edits by Friday. Which means Today 16, 17, 18, 19 Wed 20, 21 Thursday 22, 23 Friday 24 - 25 Ideally little more than that each day since I think I have an inconsistency to fix as well. I have almost all day today for edits so MUST concentrate #writing #editing

OK, 9/6/25 accountability Still editing the figure skater romance. Today, I will edit chapters 16 and 17 before I go to sleep. They're both big ones I think so this is a big chunk of a goal. There are 25 chapters solo and right now I am on 113 of 226 so halfway. #writing #romance #lgbt

#AmQuerying #AmWriting #amwritinghorror #Author #authorscommunity

When I committed to this, I did not expect to wake up with a migraine. BUT thanks to Zolmitriptan, I have managed to edit 2 chapters tonight. Maybe I can get one more done before bed :)

Chapter 14 edited. 11 more to go. I am refusing to not get through at least one chapter a day. Tomorrow I am shooting for 3 but not going to bed until at least 2 are done.
