A series of lilac and blue coloured post-it notes run along a wall, giving chapter numbers and subjects of each one. The final one says “Afterward”. My hand makes a by check mark on it with a teal marker.

Friends! I did it!! I finished writing my book and it is now with my editors @ecwpress.bsky.social !!

It’s been an intense month. Thank you all for your encouragement! 👻🖤🥂

Oof. Had a bit of a rough patch and fell a bit behind, but I just finished one more chapter.

I just finished a whole chapter in one day and patted myself on the back (literally) since there is no one else here to do it. (Where’s a good ghost companion when you need one?)

11 down. 6 to go.

That thing where you work on a chapter for the entirety of three full days, finally finish it, then save it six times and email to yourself because you DO NOT wanna have to go through that again. Woof!
10 down, 7 to go

A table messy with books and pens and notebooks, a laptop with paranormal stickers on it, a little plant, a candle, a wee , a cup of tea.

Stil life of a writing retreat.

I’m in exile for a month, completing the first draft of my first ever book. Spooky adventures and seriously interesting folks talking about ghosts!

Send me vibes of concentration & inspiration, friends!! 🙌🏻🔮👻🖤📝
