Not that kind of spring awakening Last 2 Week's WC: 1,000 + 0 = 1,000 (This is actually significantly better than I realized, which is saying something.) Last Week's Mileage: ~40mi I got my e-bike checked up at the shop for the new season and then proceeded to ride 3 days in a row. It may be assisted, but man do I feel it, especially on hot days.

Not that kind of spring awakening

Movie Poster for the novel, Another Quest, written by Dawn Berkoski.

Artwork by Shelley Leiweke

Depicted, is a fantasy inspired forest with jewel-toned falling leaves. In the distance, a medieval castle can be seen, and further still, the mountains where Zander, the protagonist of the story, lives.  

And in the center of the magical forest, sitting on a tree stump, is Zander’s prized wizard’s hat, now dirty and worn with an arrow jutting through it. 

The copy reads.

In which I’m a sweaty (petty) tryhard Trackbear makes self-flagellation so easy Last Week's WC: 15,656 words! All towards No Questions Asked. Two weeks in a row above 5,000, hell yeah! Mood Music Right Now: Outside by Staind (and not just because Jon sang the chorus to me earlier today) Really just the whole Break the Cycle album I keep saying I'm going to back this down to every other week, but I felt like posting about a great writing week.

I keep seeing people saying stuff like “I don’t use AI, I’m GOOD at writing” and that’s great, but also it’s okay to be bad at writing and still NOT use AI!! You are allowed to be bad at things, that’s okay! Do it yourself anyway, I promise it’s more fun.

I’m Bethany, and my book Balances is about a renegade Demonslayer discovering what home means to him. It’s also an unintentional allegory about growing up queer in a conservative household (the end part, where it gets better).

A reddit post on Tumblr with the guy looking at another girl meme where the guy is ignoring the g spot and going towards the cervix. It says if I go deeper, it's automatically better, right? Then a reply is Ask the dwarves of Moria about thag.
Then the Tumblr posts say "This might be the funniest reply I've ever seen in my life" and then a photo that says "Balrogs? In *my* vagina? It's more likely than you think." Followed by i am wheezing.

My #WIP is a romance where the MCs have sex in the eyes of Jesus but not some of the friends I polled. I just like the meme because she asks him how he expects it to fit.

It's also a friendly reminder sex in your 30s is better than your 20s. Factually.

I am very intrigued 20-400+ is such a good age for high school drama lol

The jock who wants to be a journalist. The hippy with an “herb” garden. The biker with a mysterious past. The blonde with the fake ID and the boy working too many jobs to get by. #Heart-Taker would make a neat high school drama… except they’re all 20-400+ years old

An AITAH mockup that reads AITAH Breaking Up/Mexico Trip
Hi, I (M/31) proposed to my gf (F/30) but she told me I had to remove my best friend Hannah (F/29) from my life if she said yes. I told her I couldn't lose Hannah and she told me "then you're losing me." Called Hannah that night to pack her bags, we were going to MX the next day so I could get out of my head. In Mexico she told me she thought she liked me. Long story short, I kissed her but then told her I didn't mean it because I'm all she has and didn't want to ruin our friendship. She left MX early and ended our friendship. On top of it all, my mom thinks I was a fucking idiot for not just being with Hannah. Thoughts?

CODEPENDENT NO MORE × JUST THE TIP

For 11 years, friends debate what counts as sex before a pre-writing exercise proves the answer. A mom meddles to get her son laid as she reads his friend's sexual fantasies.

Jesus, what am I writing?! Love this pitch event!

Untitled Last Week's WC: 7,648 FINALLY over 5k again. I want to get to 15,605 by the end of the month. Then, for my April Showers of Words challenge, I'm once again aiming for 50k. Haven't hit it yet, but here's hoping I can pull it off. In the words of Epic!Odysseus, "I have to try." I want to go to an every other week cadence for this blog, but I absolutely had to talk about my latest project.

Just me gushing about how much I love my first romance, romance in general, and my husband. #WritingCommunity #romancelandia #blog #life #amwriting
