It’s time to write the Introduction
Or why I tackle the first thing last. If you haven’t been following me and have somehow stumbled upon my blog by sheer chance, then you might not already know that I am publishing an anthology. It’s actually the second anthology I’ve published: both highlighting…
I will be very late I was out petting a cat Three laugh reacts
Today's excuse for why I was late to #writing group:

To be fair, the current poetry book I'm reading is 600 pages long 😅
Just discovered I've read 15 poetry books since I started tracking all my books on #storygraph. Which is about 4% of books I read in a year, or of every 100 books I read, 4 will be #poetry. It's actually a little higher than expected, but also about my goal for this year...
Real Goals and Super Secret Goals
Sometimes I like to trick myself, or provide some extra secret motivation/competition. Does anyone else do that? Have real goals they are willing to write down in their habit trackers or moodboards or journals, and then secret goals you keep to yourself, only in…

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything?
That’s how the internet was.
Honestly it was so touching to read that this morning, and it means a lot to me that they love the chapbook that much that they want to share it.
#authorsky #booksky #poetry #chapbook
It's about 10 or so poems, 20 pages, so I sent them the file and told them to feel free to print the copies they need for that!
Now they were hoping they could print off a few more copies to give to other daycare providers at an event they are going to this week 🥰 They specifically asked if they could photocopy it to share in gift bags.
The SWEETEST message came in this morning 🥹 someone I know who attended my reading event earlier this month and picked up my Little Bird chapbook (poetry about parenting through chronic pain) said they've been reading it at their daycare/to the kids. ⏩️
Thank you!! We have just over a week left so we'll see what we end up with, but it's been great so far!
Stay safe and have fun!
We hit our first stretch goal!! I'll do a proper update tomorrow, but I'm so excited we made it!

Husband: *tried to show me something on his phone*
Me: My eyes are off
Him: Your eyes are off?
Me: Yup.
(Then he actually looked at me and noticed my glasses were off)
Came up with an idea for a new novel today....
(No one address the unedited one waiting for me to open it up again)

Halfway through the #kickstarter campaign!
Just a few hours left to grab this bundle of awesome Canadian books!!
I apparently have motion sickness so bad right now that just scrolling social media is setting it off 🙃 I guess I should just go to bed? (Probably a good idea either way)
So PLEASE help me hit that goal so I didn't request it in vain and also so I can show you all the mockup www.kickstarter.com/projects/red...

Okay so I was pretty sure I was going to hit my first stretch goal yesterday so I told my artist on Friday to start the sketches for the next piece of artwork... and while we haven't hit it YET the linework/first draft came in and OMG IT LOOKS AMAZING AHHHHHHH
Please go check it out so that I'm not getting my hopes up and the artist excited too early! www.kickstarter.com/projects/red...
We are SO CLOSE to the first stretch goal on #Kickstarter... that I already asked the artist to start work on it 😅
