Since this week's theme is friendship, I thought I'd include this picture of me and my roommate from college, Patty, at my first book signing at Borders in 2010. 📚✍️❤️ Borders is no more, but our friendship is strong. 🥹👭✨

Learn to recognize quiet whispers of your limits before it becomes deafening silence of your emptiness.
Honor small pauses, not as interruptions to purpose, but as the thing that allows your purpose to last.

Chapter one is edited! (Whoo) now just the rest of the book to go 😂

Every once in a while I remember that every book, movie, and song I love started as someone alone in a room wondering if their idea was stupid.
That thought makes the whole creative process feel a little less lonely.

Life has been full lately, but I’ve continued showing up for the work. Chapter 4 of my mental health recovery book is finished, and there are only two chapters left until the manuscript is complete. Progress may be slower sometimes, but it’s still progress.

It is going to change title, and it is going to be heavily edited along with Book 1 of the duology, but I’m making progress! We’re at almost 85,000 words with about 10 chapters to go! #writingcommunity #fantasywriters #wip #writingjourney

Pause for a moment today. Look back at what you wrote this week, even if it’s just fragments.
Every word is part of the journey.

Cracks knuckles. It’s editing time.

Some attacks always look so unrealistic, and yet. Look so cool. Two-handed smashes are one of those to me.
I managed to plug it in. That's a hard blow to land and a dangerous amount of damage when it does.

A quick test if you're not sure if your secondary story really is a subplot.

Merch from UncannyCon 3 years ago. Who knew that not so long afterwards I'd have some of my writing published in @hauntedmagazine.bsky.social myself too! 👻✍🏻

The world feels off its axis right now, which is one reason I’ve been so relieved to have a project like #BlackRose to focus on.
Getting lost in your dreams—or your creations—is sometimes the best way to cope with the real world.

The extent in which I've had to use my brain to write this F1 romance is... a thing.... 🤣 I'm exhausted. I feel for my FMC and her job and my MMC and his. 😅 My god, has it made me admire formula 1 drivers and teams.

Two months and change after my self imposed 2025 deadline, draft one of my novel is finally finished. (Okay, there’s a short epilogue left but that going to be like 500 words max).
Now…to the dreaded edits! #WritingJourney #Progress
Either today or tomorrow, I’ll be done with the final script draft of my latest #TwinPeaks #FanFilm, #BlackRose. 📖
Then it’ll be time to raise the $$ to bring it to life. 💥

Against my best efforts (gratuitous procrastination) I may actually finish this novel today 😮
