I have edits sitting in binders waiting for my attention.
But my 7 year old wants cozies

Nothing gets you in the mindset to write a sexy scene more than your daughter having an absolute meltdown, screaming at the top of her lungs, because she lost to her sister in a video game

All I want is to write. I could be scrolling and they won't bother me. the minute my laptop comes out, BAM, they need me for every farting thing

Between staying up until 2am, getting up with my alarm and stumbling my way to work, and oversleeping, I'm really just #struggling with the time difference. Thank you for your patience as I work through this.

Seriously, why is this sooo hard?!? I've taken 95,000 courses. I've listened to everyone's advice, and yeah.... I don't get it.

As simple as it seems, I don't think it's very likely. Not all reasonable goals are obtainable. Though, I do hope I'm wrong. What do you think?

I love my editor. She is kind, gentle, thorough, and knowledgeable. But damn, I have never felt dumber than when I'm trying to use a comma.

The kids did NOT cooperate, but I got more sleep than usual by going to bed earlier.
Now the bags under my eyes are only slightly purple. 😆

This sleep-deprived illustrator mom looks like she's been up for 47 consecutive hours, fueled solely by caffeine and the desperate need to meet a looming deadline. Her hair appears to have been styled by a tornado, and her eyes are sunken in, as if they're trying to escape the exhaustion. The dark circles under her eyes could rival a raccoon's, and her expression seems to say, "I'm running on fumes, but I'll get this cover done if it's the last thing I do!" Despite the chaos, there's a hint of determination in her gaze, a testament to her unyielding passion for her wife Leann's storytelling.
Our youngest decided 4am was party time...
I just tried to scroll to read... I'm holding an actual book...
Oh, look! Coffee!
(Alt text is so much fun)
