Book from a dream (title something about Iron and Sea, maybe?) is sitting pretty at 34162. I have some big holes to write ahead of me but they're slowly getting filled with lace.
"The bed sanked."
Doing some award-winning writing here today.
I talked a writing puzzle out with my husband and then thanked him. He said "Honestly, I kind of tuned out. I heard 'I wrote myself into a problem' and then a bunch of mumbling and 'oh, never mind, I solved it'. So...you're welcome?"

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time youโre inclined to write an area off because โthey voted for this.โ
I'm at a book event and it's so slow that an author across the room from me pulled out a loaf of bread and a thing of soft cheese and started having a snack.

I know it's cliche, but I had some really great plot-fixing ideas in the shower.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Book from a dream (I really need a title...) is around 28000. I have two and half more chapters to go in the first part. My goal had been 30k for the part one so I may need to revise upward, or cut the number of chapters in parts 2 and 3.
