While listening to the NieR: Automata OST and rain striking the skylight, I edited and formatted two chapters this evening. So cozy.

Artoo is watching The Empire Strikes Back with me. Not sure if I’m going to do Machete Order (again) or release order (again)

Yesterday, while listening to a good, heavy rain, I wrote 1,600 words, baked a big batch of snickerdoodles, and read a book. A cozy November day

5*/5* 😭❤️❤️

I’m curled up in bed, listening to the rain and reading We’ll Prescribe You Another Cat. So comfy ❤️

My hold on We’ll Prescribe You Another Cat on Libby just came through. I know what I’m reading tonight!

Quiet but productive evening including 1,700 words. 20 minutes on the stationary bike tonight and 6.12 miles, so like one-third of a mile more than usual recently. Looking forward to getting back to 30-40 minute sessions. I put on Jurassic: Rebirth for the cats. Obi is loving the nature scenes

Over 1,700 words tonight for a chapter that badly needed a rewrite. Hoping to wrap up this latest draft within the next week!

Listening to the Wicked soundtrack 😭😭😭 I can’t wait for For Good

Real-life footage of me

These beauties arrived!

A full-body workout and 1,800 words. I’m calling tonight a success.

I had a nice evening hanging out with Floyd and watching the newest season of Futurama. Now I’m knocking out some chores with Bob’s Burgers Thanksgiving episodes playing. Hopefully I’ll jump back into writing/editing and working out tomorrow

Whenever Artoo gets lonely (e.g. when I’m working out), she bangs on the cupboards 😅

My lovebug ❤️

If a YA fantasy series that has magical, talking animal guardians and has made readers cry sounds good to you, then The Chronicles of Acio Seward might be for you. Readers have compared it to His Dark Materials and JRPGs. Book 1 is free through Oct 28 PDT, and book 2 is $0.99 through November 1 PDT.

Inevitable Dusk, book one of my YA fantasy trilogy, is free from Oct 26-Oct 28 PDT! Through a Mirror Dimly, book two, is on sale for $0.99 USD from Oct 26-November 1 PDT! Inevitable Dusk (free!): www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZRSXQVZ Through a Mirror Dimly, Book 2 ($0.99): www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3ZDBC6L

I watched Jaws last night. It was leagues better than the book, and I wasn’t rooting for the shark to eat everybody

Help, this game is so gorgeous (Gloomy Eyes on the Switch)

Pumpkin painting with Jen! ❤️ She did the Ghostbusters logo and I did BB-8

Baking spree for family, friends, and neighbors! Passing out the goods tomorrow. Pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and chocolate chip cookies

Being back on iron supplements, I’ve felt like less of a zombie. Last night, I did an arm workout and used 8lb weights for 3/8 of the weight exercises (5lb for the rest), and I got in over 5.5 miles on the stationary bike in 20 minutes. Granted, I slept a lot today after a couple busy days

My editor is enjoying Finding Bark Hamill! Her email made my day

Decorating for autumn

Okay, I’m only on Chapter 3, but I love Gloomy Eyes

I feel like I might need to start advertising my YA fantasy series as “Read this if you want to have a good cry and chuck the book at the wall”

I’m drafting the acknowledgments for Finding Bark Hamill. I have more to add (I know I’ll especially be shouting out my editor, who is the *best*), but it feels good getting these down ❤️

It’s football season. Grandpa and I like to watch together. -BB

lookit my squashed pumpkin, i named her Sass-squash -Artoo

I’ve shifted into editing mode. I don’t know why, but it feels like I often draft best January-September. I’m not setting aside my fairy godmother x werewolf WIP for sure yet, but I don’t think I have the stamina to draft it every day. 1/2

After I lay down and watched Halloween Wars, and then took a hot shower, my headache let up a bit. I ended up writing over 1,200 words. Not stressing over the prose at this stage

Not sure if I can write tonight. I have a really bad headache. But I did manage to make bread today (started before the pain got really bad). My second-ever batch of white bread

I think I’m going to get Gloomy Eyes for the Switch. “Cozy horror” is my aesthetic. And it’s a puzzle game!

I bought my first carving pumpkin of the year. My sis helped me pick it out! It’s a perfect specimen

I was close about the word count for Freeing Eli Stanton (Bark Hamill Book 2): 127k. I want to start edits by the end of the month. When FES is done, I’ll have to reread the original book three before I plunge into that rewrite

The past couple nights, I’ve dived into my werewolf and fairy godmother WIP. I’m still finding my footing; the 30k mark is usually where I start to feel more comfortable, and I’m at ~7k

I usually love Halloween Baking Championship, but this season is stressing me out 😭 I’ll see how Halloween Wars is (one of my favorites). And sad there’s no Outrageous Pumpkins this year

I did it! I just typed “THE END.”🥳🥳🥳 Over 3,000 words tonight. I’m guessing around 125k total (need to paste the latest chapters into the main document). I’ll put this book (Bark Hamill Chronicles, Book 2) aside for a few weeks. 1/2

2,000+ words! One chapter to go 🥳

Last night, I had a major breakthrough with Jet’s character arc. Today, I’ve had inspiration for Eli’s. Despite having the rest of the book outlined, there were a few questions marks in my mind (I legit wrote: “??? Profit” for one chapter)

Another night where I almost didn’t write due to exhaustion but decided to aim for 500 words. An hour or two later, and I’ve mind-vomited 2k. Two chapters to go!

1,260 words tonight. Another chapter down. Three to go!

Looking for spooky (but not too scary) book recommendations, especially ones with werewolves and/or vampires

I thought I’d written about 900 words tonight. It was over 1,800, and now I’m at 2,010. Wrote all of chapter 53; five chapters to go

Late night baking
