Job security is being able to stand up during a department meeting and tell your boss, who is seeing an ENT tomorrow for chronic nosebleeds, "Hey, good luck with the nose job." Yes. Yes I did. And I have no regrets. 😆

I've been reluctant to share snippets from this pivotal scene, but it's the most enticing use of this word in the whole book, so I've redacted portions of it. THE DEVOURING is a cosmic horror thriller about a husband and wife who uncover an occult conspiracy. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

What a hectic, busy day. Taking a few minutes to sit outside at dusk with the kids and count the bats as they fly by.

Mood.

I am sore all over today, and I've been wondering whatever I did yesterday to overstress my muscles. Finally figured it out. I repositioned my weighted blanket on my bed. I am sore everywhere because of readjusting a blanket in my sleep. 🤣

Me writing late last night: This is great, I'm a little tired but I'll keep going, the words are flowing, this will be a great chapter. Me rereading this morning: "It washer with soap."

You know your kid reads lots of SFF when: 9yo: Awww, look at the baby! 7yo: I saw the baby first. 9yo: Yeah, but I saw the face of the human... I mean THE MOTHER, holding the baby! #parenting

omg those astronauts who are parents? THEY CAN LITERALLY TELL THEIR CHILDREN “I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK”

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Me: *Opens up the fireproof safe to prep documents for passport applications tomorrow.* Peaches: *Decides INSIDE THE SAFE is the perfect place to curl up and nap.* #CatsOfBluesky

Wow. The universe likes me today. The kids got up on their own and got themselves dressed. Traffic was light during rush hour. The car in the second best parking spot at work left right when I pulled in so I got to take it. The weather is gorgeous. If I were in a novel I'd be worried right now. 😂

I scheduled one BlueSky post a day last weekend which let me stop stressing about remembering promos so I could just have fun when I logged in myself. Which was nice. Going to do that again. Also hoping I can fix my newsletter onboarding, I'm in the right mood to make it whimsy. #WeeknightWriters

I don't suppose you have any spare time lying around I could have? I need more sleep. 😂 Sometimes it feels like I'm not just burning the candles at both ends, I have to break them in half and burn both the middles, too. But I've had more time for myself this week, so not all bad #WeeknightWriters
