How did the last two months go in terms of my word count or publishing goals?

Not so good. But I have a new laptop all set up (okay, nearly all set up) with thrice as much space as before (3 TB! yay!).

Bonus tech support: my friend Darrell also has a new computer all set up and didn't lose any time on ebay.

I'm listening to Yellowface by R.F. Kuang (I've read it before) and it's really motivating, oddly).

Didn't get quite as far today as I had hoped, but it turned out there were a few more details I needed to work out first. Tomorrow will be a short day thanks to an afternoon commitment, but I'm still hoping to get close to the 3rd plot point.
With luck, I can finish this up with a strong push on Friday, the start writing either over the weekend, or next Wednesday!

Realized I could turn four characters into two and streamline tons of plot, and low-key kind of angry at myself for thinking of it any other way.

Today, I managed to get the music playlist for book 3 in my series done.

I actually meant to get it done a couple of days ago, but I had migraines for two days. The trouble with migraines is that, as well as the headache, the noise-sensitivity means that listening to music is out, and light-sensitivity means that looking at a computer screen for too long is bad. I have meds that work, but I end up sleepy all day.

But I got the playlist done today. Now I have something to listen to as I put together a more detailed outline over the next few days, and later on when I actually write the book.

Hey #Writers

How long do you wait between finishing your first draft and then editing it?

I only finished my first draft of Book 2 in my series a week ago, and after today’s outlining session on Book 3, I’m kinda itching to get on with the editing of Book 2, so I can get into writing Book 3 as soon as possible.

Just wondering if I need more time between my first draft and edits.

My #outlining for Book 3 in my series is going well today.

I’ve been #writing down my ideas with pen and paper, and I've written so much today that my hand hurts.

That’s a good thing, right?

Happy New Year Everyone!

To start off the new writing year, I’m spending the first week or so #outlining Book 2 in my series while I take a short break from #editing Book 1. I can’t wait to write Book 2, but Book 1 needs to be finished first.

I took a week off from #writing over Xmas and New Years and I’m so excited to get back to my writing again.

Wishing all you #writers out there a wonderfully productive and inspiring year.

I’ve been working on my outline for book 6 (Nursery) of my #DarkNebula series. I’m hoping to start writing it next week. It’s set to release in August of next year. In my other spare time, I’m finishing up converting book 1 (Isolation) into Google AI narration. I’ll have it up on the play store in the new year for free.
