After an amazing Eastercon 2026, I needed a day or two to recover.
I managed to do a first serious pass of edits on a short story (helped by great notes from the editor), and am nearly caught up with where I'm meant to be on writing a new novel.

I don't like Whitman's poetry but today I read and my heart is breaking. In the midst of civil war he found compassion and hope, while now the worst of us rage and destroy.
I fight. I resist. I'm capable of being moved to tears by an old poet's gentle and furious words.
Still seeking #BetaReaders for this novelette.

Taking a small break from the constant editing passes to start writing something completely different this week.
I want to break up the flow by writing something new.
I haven't sat down with a blank page for a long time.
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
#QueerWriters I'm hoping to continue the little bit of momentum that I've created and finish the rough draft of my first chapter! I still have a bit left in the scene and then I have to go back and finish some parts that I've left pretty vague for the moment.

Been struggling with energy and motivation the last week and change so, honestly, I'd just be happy to get anything done, even if it's just editing one chapter. π More would be nice, of course, but really any progress by this point would be welcomed.

How is it that finishing the first draft of the blurb feels more monumental than writing the damn story?
