Weeeee it's my 2025 Convention Schedule!

Book 4 of Library System Reset is LIVE!!! I am so excited for this book! If you like books, and books about books? Then these are the books for you! (See what I did there?) www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNCJ4GTN #bookrelease #authorlife

Soooo ulnar nerve entrapment is a thing. It's a very painful thing as it progresses. Gotta look into a specific type of massage as meds are doing jack shit. It's amazing to realize how much you utilize your elbow when you're not supposed to anymore.

We are playing D&D again @mythcrafter.bsky.social @jackfields.bsky.social Andrea Parsneau Rachel Ní Chuirc www.youtube.com/live/IVmg_lo... So much fun!

Creative Fatigue You know what's the worst thing? To absolutely love what you're creating, and yet be so tired and exhausted at the state of things that it's difficult to create. I realize I'm not alone in this. But I just kinda had to say it out loud

I swear. I'm going through editing this book and I just got to a chapter with stats I DO NOT REMEMBER CREATING... Soooo there's that. How is your Monday?

Editing and I have a hate love relationship. Yeah I know hate love looks weird... But I hate it first, and then I love the result. Better than hate hate right?

Editing requires intense concentration from me Some days, my brain is so squirrel like that's just not happening lol 2025 has been one of those days 🤣

Dear 2025 I would like for you to stop your shit now Will send marshmallows Sincerely, Me

Dear everyone who rolls up in my comments when I’m talking about something that is not The Current Chaos, berating me that There Are More Important Things to Be Thinking About, please, and I say this with love, fuck all the way off into the sun, I will do as I please, unfollow me if it bothers you.

Can someone do a PhD comparing the perceived length of January 2025 with March 2020? Quantum something-or-other definitely going on there.

Time to write. It's always time to write. Lately it's been kind of hard to get in the flow One chapter. Then another. Oh would you look at that squirrel...

It's about the details

Do you ever look back at your life and have pieces sort of click into place? Realizations of what specific memories actually meant in the bigger picture? Childhood is so fleeting and yet, here I am realizing how much it defined me. Maybe I've always been a spite writer haha, for stories and life.

Okay nooooow I'm mostly healthy again, it's time to jump back on that writing horse! Off I go... See, I'm already there ;)

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.

I have officially been sick for a whole month... Slowly crawling out of that hole lol Sick sucks So does your basement flooding on 1/1 But! Look at it this way - the only way my 2025 can go is up, right? RIGHT?

Weekends are generally, mostly, for family. Saturdays at least. But when I'm nearing the end of a book, I always feel more motivated to write becasue the words just tumble Not sure if that's a good thing, but it's definitely a part that makes me remember why I write in the first place

I've had an oddly productive December so far. Almost 18k in the first 6 days. About 10ishk - 5 chapters ish left of book 4 to draft. Kinda excited about this ending. I think it's my favorite in the series so far. Feeling oddly proud of myself. Go me!

Epilepsy sucks. Kid had a seizure last night. It's not a tonic-clonic type. But it drains her, makes her skin sallow, and she gets this weird darkness under her eyes, like bruising but not. She's asleep right now. She's supposed to grow out of it. I hope she does. Time to finish book 4

Spent today reminiscing about the past with my sister Lots of revelations Newfound understanding And for the first time in my life, I actually feel at peace. It's a nice sensation. Now I'm going to go and write a fight scene because I make shit up for a living 😏

Yesterdays dictation was a bit of a train wreck. It's usually not much trouble to edit what I've dictated, but this time I wasn't in the right headspace while writing and now I have a lot to clean up. Framework is still good... Buuuuuut Anyway, the chapter is going to rock once I'm done

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

Dear Life, Stop throwing me curveballs when I have so much shit to do. Let me at least sail along for a month or so before I give in to another existential crisis. Sincerely, Me

Everytime someone asks what LitRPG is, there are 100s of answers. For me the definition is simple. LitRPG is like reading a roleplaying game (MMORPG, D&D, RPGs...) and all that entails. I don't have the time to game that I used to. But LitRPG lets me lose myself in games again and I love it!

This needs to happen

*writing a romance novel* He fell for her like a tv mounted on dry wall. He knew that no limited warranty would ever undo what she had done to his heart, nor could he exchange it for an object of equal or lesser value.

Finally over with appointments and holiday stuff. Hoping to get back into work. Time to write a chapter I wish I'd had time to write this morning. Oops #adhdlife #whatisfocus #authorlife

Thanksgiving was a bit of a whirlwind with a lot of news I'm still trying to process. It's nice to come and scroll on bluesky Feels like hope and ever so slightly less like the world is about to drop out from under me

It was just pointed out to me that a recent update to the Bluesky client now allows you to block bots, trolls and chuds directly from their obnoxious comments via the right click menu, so I checked and sure enough, there it is (highlighted in the picture). Truly this is an age of wonders.

Dreary days make my adhd worse. It's like all I can focus on is curling up in a chair with a book... This isn't conducive to productivity However. Hubs bought me a heated office chair for my birthday. Two birds with one seat 😏 Ignore the dreary with a warm butt. #amwriting #authorlife #litrpg

January would be a very good time for a new Animal Crossing. Just saying...

Second chapter written. Almost 5k words today Getting back in the swing of things Making shit up is awesome Hope everyone going to bed has an amazing sleep! #authorlife #litrpg #goodnight

One chapter down for the day, I think I need another. Trying to get ahead so I can work on my new story idea... So excited about all of it! Old and New. I love writing I will be productive! #amwriting #authorlife #litrpg

Australia’s oldest dictionary of Australian English has chosen “enshittification” – a slang term referring to the deterioration of products and services online – as the word of 2024.

I had a haiku for this morning, but it was boring. Sunny is not boring. Sunny is a good girl & freaking ridiculously intelligent. I love this dog so much. Meet Sunny & her pumpkin latte from the groomer (that bald spot is from surgery last month) #authorlife #goldendoodle #mydogs

I created a starter pack for #litrpg, #gamelit #haremlit #progression authors. Would love to add more to the pack! go.bsky.app/GbNurC4

I couldn't find a list of Australian authors and writerly types on Bluesky so here's my effort to fix that. Please follow all of them! (And suggest more because I will add them.) go.bsky.app/DLhFaM8

Monday morning haiku I don’t want to rise Too much sleep is in my eyes Need all the coffee

My books arrived!!! Finally have the hard copies of book 3! They are chonkers! The artwork is so freaking pretty! Gorgeous books! And my pupper Sunny has given her sniff of approval! #authorlife #litrpg #hardcopy #paperback

Saturdays are Caturdays, right? Most days are caturdays here though… Winnie (Dean Winchester) makes most days about him - in a good way. Sweetest cat ever. Also family and clean the house days And then oops I need to edit/draft the chapters I missed days… #caturday #authorlife #litrpg

Cuypers Library in Amsterdam, one of the most beautiful, interesting and quiet places I've ever been. The ultimate "shh" experience. #Photography #BookSky #Library

Authors, let's see your favorite cover. Not your best book but the cover that blows your mind every time you see it. I have to admit that this book cover blew me away. I might love this series, but the covers are even better.

People who expect creatives to do work for "exposure" can go fuck themselves. Cash on the barrelhead is what I expect when people ask me for work, so if I'm asking for people to do work for me, that's what I offer as well.

Today is Friday! I still have a nice orange tag! M full wrap is still gorgeous so I'm going to share it (another form of procrastination - there are many - stick with me kids 😉) Today I must: edit today's chapter Edit Monday's chapter Write more Not Procrastinate 😆 #litrpg #amwriting #authorlife

I did it though Almost 5k today Time to sleep Per chance to dream… And repeat it all Tomorrow 😏 #authorlife #litrpg #goodnight

As per usual, my astouding ability to procrastinate has seen me needing to write one more chapter at 21:10... Have I written a chapter today? Yes, yes I have. But I need to get myself a backlog. Here we go! (See, already writing, I swear!) #amwriting #writerproblems #authorlife #litrpg
