WRITE EVERY DAY YOU CAN! Writing is absolutely a muscle that gets better the more you do it! 2,010 words today!!! I've really struggled with some parts of this draft. But I've stuck it out, and the last few sessions have been amazing. I'm so excited for what's to come!!! #AmWriting

1,001 words today! This was a really good session and it allowed me to really reconnect with some of the cozier sides of the story, which I feel like I've really been missing! The end is in sight, and the next several chapters are really wild, so I'm excited! #AmWriting

1,252 words today! There's definitely been parts of this draft I will change a lot in editing, but in the meantime it's all about getting those words on the page! Your story can't live until it's written, after that, there's always room for editing! #AmWriting

I submitted to #RevPit! Good luck everyone!!

1,539 words today (and 1,871 on Wednesday, I just forgot to post about it)! I'm past the halfway point and really loving how the story is coming together. I'll have to be careful not to go over 50,000 words, there's still a bunch of stuff that needs to happen in this book! #AmWriting

1,100 words today! I'm officially over the halfway mark. While I'm a little backed up creatively now and really wanting to return to Book 1 for further edits, I want to see this draft through first! Halfway there!!! #AmWriting

Someday, I will have a meeting with a publisher who loves my book. I don't know if that meeting is six months away or six years. But as long as I keep working and improving, that day will eventually come. The only way it doesn't is if I give up, so I'm never doing that!!! #WritingCommunity

1,824 words today!!! I'll hit the halfway point in my next session. I'm so excited for the back half of this book! #AmWriting

1,440 words today! Really rolling again and finding such a good groove, and I'm so excited to write some of the scenes coming up! I'm a month into this draft and pushing the halfway mark, with any luck I'll be done by April! #AmWriting

1,441 words today! I was struggling to find my footing in this chapter I drafted on Friday, then I realized it was because I was writing the wrong scene. Did some planning over the weekend, and now what felt like a dull part has a ton more life! AND I hit 20,000 words!! #AmWriting

WHAT THE HECK'S A QAT, ANYWAY? What happens when you combine a housecat with a hobbit? These chubby, snack-loving creatures have a long way to travel and little legs to get them there in THE LITTLES OF BIG WILD! #UnhingedPit #MG #F #Q

There are some chapters that flow out of you. The chapter I just finished was not one of those. It introduced a ton of new characters and details and it was really rough to finally get through. But between yesterday and today (1,069), it is drafted and done (for now)!! #amwriting

Today wasn't the best writing day, but it was still a writing day! I got done 831 words of a tough chapter that introduces a ton of new characters and a new setting. I feel better taking these kinds of scenes slower to make sure it's done right, so I'll still count it as a win! #amwriting

1,172 words today! Keeping momentum up even when we're buried in snow feels great. Today was another chapter I had planned for months, it felt so good bringing it to life and introducing a new character I've been thinking about for a while! #AmWriting

I don't usually write on the weekends, but I pushed myself to write today, found some momentum for a big chapter, and wrote 2,119 words! I'm up to 15,493 total, and coming up on a third of the way done the first draft! #AmWriting

I'm working on making comics for some scenes from my cozy middle grade fantasy The Littles of Big Wild! Here's my latest. Also on Reddit here: www.reddit.com/r/comics/com...

I had a great writing session today! 1,950 words total. I got to use some sections I had originally written in Maine in the fall. There's nothing like writing out in nature to write great nature scenes! #amwriting

Things have been really rough for me personally the past few days, but it felt great to get back to some writing. 1,203 words today, so we're at 11,424 words total. With 50k words as the goal, we're over 20% of the way there! #amwriting

1,335 words today for Day 5/5! I'm not feeling great today so I wasn't sure if I was going to pull off the perfect week, but I rallied and got there! I've written over 10,000 words total on this draft, it's rolling great for week 2! #AmWriting

1,299 words today! The first half of this book really helps grow the whole story into a larger saga, it feels so good to put it on page! If I can get a session in tomorrow, I've achieved my goal of a "perfect week" (writing all five days M-F). #amwriting

I wrote 1,304 words today (7,587 for this book so far total)! Everything is flowing great, I'm really starting to hit that momentum that really comes when you're writing every day! #amwriting

I wrote 1,473 words today! I had to avoid writing too much of an exposition dump by balancing it out with lots of good cooking and eating descriptions, and now I'm hungry! #amwriting

Woke up to these two sweethearts this morning! I’m pretty sure the boys just think Khalee is their actual mom. #CatsOfBluesky

When writing about nature, write in beautiful scenic places! Most of The Littles of Big Wild's nature scenes come from our trips to Maine! I carry my laptop everywhere there (I almost lost it during that sailboat pic!) and the descriptions just flow! #WritingCommunity

One of the best feelings in writing is finally getting to write a chapter you've been planning for months! 2,253 words today!!! #amwriting

"The Moonhighers honored the same tradition as The Hollow; that dessert was not a course that came after dinner, but a part of the meal itself. This meant that you could feast on chocolate cake and roast beef at the same time, as nature had intended." #FoodPit #MG #F #Q

"One of the many benefits of being a grandmage is that you can always roast dinner to just the right temperature. This paid off greatly for Dav as he chomped down on the sweet, salty fat of the meat, enjoying the tart contrast of the cherry glaze in one delicious whirlwind." #FoodPit #MG #F #Q
