I also don't do horror. I just don't get it and I don't think I ever will. I'm ok with like... jump scares and scary movies but not horror. No ty :\

Finally got the Halloween inflatables up. Much later than usual but people still stopped to say they liked it so worth it. Will post pics later. For now.. shower because it's ungodly hot for October.

Finished the first pass through The Wolf Inside. I'm sitting at just over 150k words. Now I have to go through again and make sure all of the time lines line up and check the names because I changed them multiple times 🫠

Screen shot from last night's stream with Jordan Taylor. It was so lovely that he showcased it and I was floored by how many people messaged to ask about getting a copy 🥰

Unsolicited writing advice, no.93: Get to know your characters. Find out what they would never admit, where they keep their keys, how they celebrate. You don’t need to tell your readers all this (though it’s sometimes fun if you do), but it helps a lot if you know.

I am juggling these three this week and they're all so good! If you enjoy romantic fantasy like A Discovery of Witches, go for Modern Divination; if you like epic, Tolkien-esque fantasy, go for The Second Stone; if you like urban fantasy like Dark Angel, try Werecats Emergent! 🥰

Did you miss your chance to support the Kickstarter but you still want to step into The Shadows world? Send me a DM. I have a limited number of extra copies.

I should get some work done instead of scrolling through Bsky and thinking about editing my novel.

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

I was struggling to get my photos to sync (phone said it was done but PC showed nothing). I searched all sorts of troubleshooting techniques and nothing worked. Restarting my phone definitely did the trick 😭

Ok I only got about 600 words done but I pulled in some names from the companion novel and wove in some lore about Alex's bioweave (finally). Now I sleeps 😴

I've spent over 4 hours editing the same dang chapter (and stuff before and after affected by the same chapter). I should reread it one more time but I think I'm officially burned out on sexy werewolves and magic for the day. But maybe I can take a quick peek at my Shadows sequel...
