I usually write fairly clean first drafts (a side effect of editing while I write) but my current WIP feels all over the place. I keep reminding myself that I can just edit it up later π

I finally had time to sit down and write and I cranked out 2600 words! This was my first time writing on my new laptop, and it's crazy that the battery life lasts more than the 2 hours of my old laptop π

Anyone have a new laptop that they love? I love my HP but it's about 10 years old and won't run Windows 11 :P As a writer, I'm also particular about keyboards so a Mac is a no for me (super flat keyboards are horrendous, sorry π )

I thought my bagel was blueberry but it's actually chocolate chip and I made cinnamon roll tea, so I just had dessert for breakfast and I'm not mad at it.

It's the 10 year anniversary of my cousin's death. We were the same age. It makes you melancholy, but also appreciate life, time, and good health a little more.

I think people are forgetting that YA means the intended audience. YA means it was written for teens. It's totally plausible to have an adult book with a teenage MCβif the themes and writing are for an adult audience, like The Poppy War, for example.
