1,300 words on a family oriented Saturday. I will take it, because it's better than nothing. Certainly a slower week, writing wise, than last but the words have been good this week. That's what counts.

Happy #caturday from my editor, Pennifer Prudence Patchwork.

Ended up just over 2,000 words on the day. One of those days where anything that COULD possibly distract me, made sure it did. Ugh.

1,000 words in my first session of the day. Was a busy morning, after picking up a last minute delivery route, so had to wait until after lunch to get the Chromebook out. Progress is progress. Too bad life occasionally gets in the way!

Think I am calling it at 1,600 words today. Stayed up watching auroras last night and am paying for it today. My brain craves sleep, so I shall feed it. Keep on getting those stories out!

I outlined my 4th novel while coming down cold off from antidepressants. It is going to be the most unhinged dark humor/scifi/satirical horror story that I will ever create. Wonky brain function definitely = awesome creative sauce.

I don't write about politics because, to me, the concepts of empathy and kindness should be basic human behaviors, not things that are mocked by idiots who have never opened a dictionary.

Anyone who disagrees with those ideals is simply a selfish person who should be ignored, not argued with.

Ended up writing 2,022 words today. Roughly 34,000 words into this 'final' draft now. It was a day where I had two writing sessions and neither one felt great. I was pushing hard to get something written. The 3rd session, just now, was bliss to write. I love this story.

1,400 words so far today. Not done, yet. At the fun part of tying up plot details in the 2nd act before revisiting the 3rd act for some needed fleshing out in a few areas. Excited to see what I can come up with.

Maestra (Concentric Worlds Book 2) Amazon.com: Maestra (Concentric Worlds Book 2) eBook : Smith, R.M.: Kindle Store

Today, I'm featuring my 2nd book. Released just over 5 years ago, Maestra was ambitious in every way. Divided into 3 parts that could have each been their own novel, I decided not to separate them. It worked better that way. Epic Dark Fantasy/horror. Love it. #booksky

Their daddy's a ginger. He lives 40 miles away so they sit close to the 5G gateway when it's time to share their brain cells with him.

2,200 words today. That wraps up a total of 12,700 in the past week. Not bad at all. In fact, it feels downright ambitious after the long lull I came out of.

Remember, keep writing. You can fix it if it's broken but you can't fix it if it doesn't exist!

Can we better integrate A.I. into marketing tools that are easy and intuitive for artists to use in order to help us turn our creativity into a career?

No!

We can just bypass that whole mess and monetize A.I. to steal and repackage the art, itself! (and market it.)

Ugh

2,600 words today, so far, after taking yesterday off. Looking to wrap up this draft by December 15th before accepting my editor's judgement.

Yes, I know my Bluesky grammar is terrible. I'm off the clock. Deal with it. 🤣

Sundays are reserved for Jesus and Football.

Since I'm a devout Atheist, I substitute Jesus with a warm blanket and bucket of ice cream.

No writing today.

Back at it in the morning with some fresh ideas of how to torment my poor protagonist some more.

1,300 words on a busy Saturday. I'll take It. I don't think I have much more left in the tank for today. Time to go flop on the couch and relax. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Arabella would like to wish everyone a happy #caturday

2,300 words today. Going to call it there. The further into this draft I get, the more I want to keep working at it...but I am also very familiar with burnout and know that the perfect time to walk away from a project is when you don't want to.

Good night, all.

2100+ words again yesterday.

I really need to reach out to Mt. Dew for sponsoring these caffeine fueled writing sessions.

Another chapter down. Hoping to get more words out after my day job today.

2,100 words today, so far, and the night is young. This is the most I have written in a single day in the past 5 years. I know there are a lot of discussions about the validity of writer's block but, whatever you want to call it, happy to be done with it.

Great use for A.I. : Helping authors format and align covers for physical books so the text is centered and the art doesn't bleed over onto the spine.

Not a great use of A.I: Writing books
