I use adverbs and adjectives judiciously. I also love a good sentence fragment.

I have a silly story planned inspired by a dumb joke made in one of my pathfinder games. The GM was scrambling to name some goblins and ended up going with Globin and Grobin and we kept shouting "Globin and Grobin goblin detectives!" the rest of the session.

that's content to do just about any job for an extra carrot. He's also a huge cuddle bug and it's not uncommon to find Kannan laying in him in his stall after the chores have all been taken care of. 3/3

and an excellent training horse for young riders. Auretta is Kit's horse, a chestnut warmblood with an attitude. She only tolerates being ridden by Kit and is prone to biting when she's not fed on time (Kit loves her). And finally Thrusher, their pack horse. He's a liver chestnut draft horse 2/3

There are unicorns and kelpies and what not. But I've also got good ole regular horses :)

In False Knight Alois and Kit's horses are an essential part of their team. Medio is Alois' horse, a stocky bay roan thoroughbred that she's had since she was a page. He's mild mannered 1/3

The hardest thing about having a beagle puppy is the chronically sad face. He's perfectly fine hanging out in his playpen for an hour while I get some work done (after I spent 30 min playing with him, mind you). But damn if he doesn't look like the most abused little guy every time I look over :(

I often forget to engage different sensory details. I think I've gotten better at it, but there's probably still room for improvement.

I'm also a MAJOR underwriter and forget that it's okay to let a scene breath for bit before rushing onto the next thing.

The Puppy with Big Stick sends you the goodest of vibes. We hope the news turns out to be the nothing category ๐Ÿซ‚

If I remember correctly when I was editing my first book I used the word 'though' over 200 times ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Is it weird that I enjoy the 'great overused word purge' part of editing? Really, I enjoy all parts of editing, but this part feels particularly satisfying.

Aloรฏs had Menelinโ€™s Fever as a child which caused her to loose most of her hearing and gave her heat intolerance. What makes it unique in Valโ€™hoon is that itโ€™s one of the few diseases that canโ€™t be cured with magic. Only a concoction containing menelin root can prevent it from progressing.

If you're going to try and scam authors you should at least get their name right. It's quite literally on the front of the book.

Does getting these scam emails mean I've made it as an indie author?

The few times I had a post go viral I had to lock comments after like 2 hours because it was SO overwhelming. I don't know how big accounts do it.

Yeah the days I struggle the most with it are days I work of have class. It's a lot easier to turn the brain off and just scroll. But I've been trying to find other quick dopamine releases to take the place of it like a little treat or a longer video on youtube or something like that
