I'm so excited to have beta readers lined up to read Dissonance when it's finished!!

I had another fabulous writing day yesterday! 6500 words! (If there are weird pacing issues, just know I'm writing some fresh material in this draft.)

Favorite bit so far:

This post still hasn't aged well. I guess I only get on when we have the potential for tornados 🤣 Hope you get snow with this front!

Hi. I'm still here. I still exist.
A lot has happened since I last posted.
I still cry about some of things, yet others give me joy.
I wrote over 4.5k words today.
I'm now in the last ⅔rds of Dissonance.

Kind of. The season is between November and May, it seems.

Morning update: just heavy winds!

I wish we were getting snow from this storm front! I'm at the bottom of that and we're expecting 5-10 cm of rain 😭 and possibly tornadoes tonight. (Snow on Wednesday, though!)

I wanted to write this weekend, but my son ended up sick. However, I am committed to submitting to an anthology this year!!

You're the best!!

Buuuut Faryn finds this one job to be more than he signed up for, and his sister is now involved. Currently, they are sitting in the Spilled Lantern with Fi's friend Tassa when the Bastard Prince (Magister Nathair) walks in.

Maybe that will help me stay motivated through a full time-day job too. But, afte 5+ years of working on it, I can say that I'm trying to not let the self-critic out, that I will hold a published copy this year.

I had such a good writing day.
And a nap.

The last video I saw was Justin Davies burning two states he messed up on his US map of state trees. All to that one Chinese song (i can't remember the name).
That hurt, algorithm. It hurt to see the last videos from come creators.

As much as I have loved how my day job has helped me grow, I am being unchallenged now, and my neurospicy self doesn't like being unchallenged.

I sent out my first newsletter without proofreading it thoroughly 🫣 Haha!! How embarrassing!
That's okay! It proves I'm human at least!!

I've realized that if I didn't think I had time or energy to post on Tiktok, I definitely will not have time to post on IG.
Here? Who knows how much traction this will get? Twitter, back in the day, had been a slow grind, too.

I finally have my newsletter up and going! Subscribe through my website or directly through my substack!

I've been rebranding!
Check back for updates!

Oh! That's closer!

I forget sometimes I can just sit in my nice reading chair and write, too!
(Hubs got me a new tablet for the holidays! I have been keeping this thing with me everywhere!)

Kingsport is so far from where I'm at! 🫠 I wish Nashville had good conventions again.

I need to post here more often.
Everything has been so busy lately.

I have already put on resumes that Dissonance will be published in 2025. So I better get to work!!

"But in his defense, he apparently hadn't been so busy that he couldn't respond to her. That gave her a little comfort, knowing he - hopefully - had pants on."

Gotta love writing siblings.

Received some devastating news yesterday after already having a bad day.
Today is a day for calm music and dissociating through writing.

Writing is a process.
Take your time! Let the characters breathe on the page.
Literally. No holding breaths without realizing it. 🤣
