After swearing I would stopping tinkering with the opening of my WIP (at least until the draft was done), I just went back and added three paragraphs to the very beginning. I am a liar and can't be trusted! 🤣 #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity

Finished the penultimate chapter of my WIP this afternoon. Should have a first draft done in another few days. Then I can rewrite it all again! 🙂 #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #writingcommunity

Anyone else watch The Capture on Peacock? I'm bingeing it now and really enjoy it. Think I have a soft spot for British crime dramas... #writing #TV #crime

After the week I had, I definitely had to visit the magic waterfall and make a few wishes... #photography #waterfall #magic #Maine

This is one of those moments when I feel like my life is a chess match, but I'm still trying to learn how to play checkers... #life #chess #philosophy #photography #Maine

I'm glad I finally caved and took advantage of my free subscription to Peacock. Really enjoyed The Paper, I'm loving the British crime series I've been bingeing, and today I can watch the Notre Dame game...

I'm starting to see some really strange things on my desk. Work must be melting my brain... 🧠 🤣

I was on the phone with the insurance agency about making changes to my homeowners policy and got disconnected. Is this a message from Big Insurance that they don't want me to try to save money??? 🤣 #money #life

I don't get to see the #Jets on TV too often up here. Today's choke job reminded me why I don't really mind missing the games...

I'm using a very sophisticated facial recognition program, but I still can't identify the stranger staring back at me in the mirror...

It's such a beautiful day, and I know we don't have many left before it gets too cold and snowy, so I went for a second walk. Here's the view from my favorite bench... #photography #autumn #walking #Maine

Started chapter 26 of my WIP today. I think there's this chapter and then one more left before I have a completed draft. Looking out at this view and planning what to write in those 2 chapters. #photography #writing #booksky #creativeprocess #Maine
