My neighbor tossed bread in my fenced in yard for I’m assuming the multitude of birds who come to my feeders daily. To say I’m pissed is an understatement. Thank god my dog didn’t eat it before I noticed it.

I received a full request on my manuscript today. For some reason I thought all of my queries closed, so this is the highlight of my day and my cats twelfth birthday. Cat tax below.

If one were to live in the year 1692, what would be a good alternative to the word “shit” as is “oh shit”?

Been watching the extended Lord of the Rings movies this week in honor of Tolkien Reading Day. In addition there is also an education I am getting from my LotR obsessed bestie about what’s in the book and not and the world itself and different ages.

I finished The God of the Woods today and I think it is the first full length book I’ve read in a while.

To add to number 2: I am slightly freaked out by space and don’t read much science fiction.
Pretty sure I’m one of the last people to read Project Hail Mary
My thoughts:
1. This is the only movie tie-in cover I’ll ever like thanks to Ryan Gosling, kinda like it more than the original
2. It’s really good so far and capturing my attention
3. Why do the chapters feel so damn long?

I’ve been wanting to learn to crochet for a while now. I’m a lefty. Turns out I’ve been trying to do the right handed way. I did this today and I’m damn proud.
I also got some fun book mail from Orbit today. #crochet #booksky
To avoid anxiety over the state of everything, I’ve dove headfirst into this new Seven Devils story idea. I’ve got some pretty interesting ideas happening and it is looking like it will be a horror/fantasy.

Also my cat is the cutest thing right now and brings me all the joy in the world.

Spent the morning doomscrolling so now I’m returning to my world of Asclepias and giving my outline for book 2 some ~vibes~
#writersky #writingcommunity
Began writing something tonight that is loosely based on the song Seven Devils by Florence + the Machine. No clue what it is cause I’m pantsing it.
#writersky
I have yet to watch the halftime show, but from what I’ve seen I can tell I’m going to love it.
I’ve been listening to Florence & the Machine on repeat since I’m going to a show in April. Felt inspired so I did a mood sketch for Shake It Out. It is for the lyric “And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart”

Filled my window bird feeder this morning and within two hours it was empty. My poor birds are hungry.
#birds
I think I’m in need of a good fantasy or romance rec.
I am struggling with reading anything at all this year. What are some books that could help with this slump?
#booksky
Florence + the Machine’s album Ceremonials is an amazing album and great to write to because the vibes are immaculate and go with what I am writing.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.
Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️
Started writing a new story tonight.
Is it planned or outlined? No.
Do I know what it’s about yet? Also no.
Is it going to be full of rage? Looking that way.
#writersky #writingcommunity
I think I may have a release date for my book. 🙊 I just need to hear back from someone first.

"SHE USED TO SIT IN BED AT NIGHT WITH HER BLANKET OVER HER HEAD AND A FLASHLIGHT READING ABOUT MONSTERS. THEY HAD STARTED OFF BEING HAIRY BEASTS OR GHOSTLY PEOPLE WITH FANGS, AND THEN CAME THE ALIENS FROM FAR-OFF PLANETS TO DESTROY ASCLEPIAS. KNOWING NOW WHO THE REAL MONSTERS WERE, THOSE STORIES WERE MORE LIKE FAIRYTALES."
A tiny snippet from See How They Burn
#booksky #writersky #fantasybooks #fantasywriter
Welcome to Asclepias, where the color of a woman’s blood threatens her survival. Everly and Ivy have one thing in common—make that two: their connection to the elusive Luce and the black blood running through their veins. When Ivy’s life is put in danger, Luce will do whatever it takes to protect her. With her own life in shambles, Everly is doing all she can to stay alive. Forced to join Luce three hundred years in the past, Everly finds herself a guest of Lord Andras and the gods who wish to cleanse the world of witches. Everly agrees to save Ivy’s life, and all women believed witches, but ultimately, she is the one who needs saving. If she fails to stop the witch hunt and save Ivy, the world will see her burn.
🔥This is the year my debut novel will be released!
Below are the cover and synopsis.
More info to come!🔥

Started the new year by stepping on my cat’s tail. In my defense it was quite dark and she stopped in front of me on the dark stairs. She has since been peppered with kisses on her tiny head.

I have three people reading the book I wrote. It’s only been self-edited so far which they know, but three people are reading my words. I’m unsure how to feel right now aside from terrified that anyone but me is reading my work.

Left my outline for the project I’m working on downstairs, but have my laptop upstairs. What do I do? Start a festive novella for said project that isn’t near complete. So far I am loving it.

How many POVs is too many? I am struggling with this draft thinking I’m doing too much or not enough.
#writingcommunity #writersky #fantasywriter
Stopped querying and now doing massive rewrites to the manuscript. Adding a new POV and eliminating 2-3 characters. I may be crazy, but I’m looking forward to making the story darker and my FMCs more badass.
