Readers of "The Long Walk" by Stephen King who watched the movie:
What'd you think of the ending?
I absolutely preferred the book's ending. No contest.

Spending my 10th wedding anniversary watching The Long Walk.
So excited to finally see it. @stephenking.bsky.social I loved the book!

We got married on 04/08/16 (I loved how that date was in the multiplication of 2)
Crazy we've actually been together for 16 years 🤯

Making a no bake sweet potato cheesecake concoction for my and my husband's 10th wedding anniversary tomorrow cause screw paying for things.

It smells like heaven 🤩

Fantasy is my favorite genre to read for sure. I'm pushing close to 30k at the moment. Currently super busy with gardening and housework so I'm moving annoyingly slow 😆

Urban Fantasy with thriller elements and a world rooted in Greek mythology

Yes. My debut novel. The first of a planned trilogy.

I love dropping my world lore through dialogue. It's like figuring out a puzzle. Trying to fit in little nuggets of info into natural flowing conversation can be tricky.

But, it's super satisfying when you get the phrasing down

It's funny how I am approaching 30,000 words on my debut novel and I just know that during editing, a huge portion of those words will get cut.

Yet, I still love watching that number grow 🤗

Urban Fantasy rooted in Greek mythology

I'm so close to finishing my first draft but it feels SO FAR AWAY

God damn, I cannot wait to start editing this bitch

Starting to read the Lathe of Heaven by Ursula Le Guin. Only a few pages in and I recommend it on the premise alone.
Someone being able to change the present with their dreams. An idea that can make you uncomfortable to think about.

#booksky #reading #scifi

Hit over 28,000 words today.
Slow and steady.
Really fucking slow, unfortunately. 😵‍💫

I've been missing a plot point in my story. One final sequence of events.
And I finally got it!

This is why I cherish the researching bits.

Too much heavy whipping cream leftover after the tiramisu so I made three kinds of ice cream 🍨
Pistachio, orange 🍊 and pineapple 🍍

What I've spent the past few days doing.
Got this red bathroom cabinet from someone off FB.
Flipped it upside down and now it's a floor cabinet for storage of my art and music stuff.

My husband had never tried tiramisu so I attempted to make it. Lady fingers are not that easy 😂

Sittin at the carwash

I finally realized today what writers mean when they say "the character made them" change plot points or decisions.

Yup, the character I've written just would not do what my original idea was.
Nope, had to change that.

Really gravitated towards these three images while scrolling through references for harpies

Writers with multiple hobbies, how do you give your other creative projects attention??

I haven't painted for months cause I'm so focused on my book.

#booksky #art #writing

Oh shit, I just went over 26,000 words in my first draft today 🥹 #booksky #writing

..... I think I just figured out how to end my trilogy. And I mean, epilogue, the END end.

And it's so good 🫣

#booksky #writesky #authorsky

Still trying to finish my first draft even though the world is literally being blown up.

Apparently, my brain needs to super organize my thoughts.

Had the morning off so I made pretzel bites 🥨 (and of course, some cheese sauce 🤤)
