Today I broke 38k on The Something of Sea and Whatever, my current WIP. (Title still being workshopped.) I'm very pleased with how it's all coming together.

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.

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?"

We all love those giant skeletons, but let's not overlook the little skeletons swarming over houses and telephone poles. That some good Halloween right there.

Oh yes, and they're mocking you while they plan.

A book with a dark cover with "The Way We Used to Walk" in white font. The book is leaning against an old barn wall with vines in front.

Zero sales at this event. Anyone want a book to make the gas money worth it?

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time youโ€™re inclined to write an area off because โ€œthey 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.

K1 had an orchestra concert tonight and dang, I just really love music. I miss making it in a group.

Also there was a theremin!

Oh, this unexpectedly made me emotional in the same way as "For Frodo." I will add "my chief rabbit told me to defend this run" to my self-motivational phrases.

The good news: Act 1 of the incredibly rough draft of my WIP is done!

The bad news: I still have 3/4 of the book to write. ๐Ÿ˜…

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.
