iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Apparently both elevators in my apartment are broken this morning. So fun.

I live in a "small town" just outside Seoul so I'm technically not in a city with 10 million people. But the city I'm in does make Atlanta look like the set for a cozy, small town Christmas movie.

Job contracts did not get renewed so, unless another Korean company steps in, we're moving next summer. This morning hubby had an email from a company in Atlanta asking if he'd like to interview with them. So it looks like Georgia might be in our future. I have very mixed feelings about this.

"The strange man covered in stranger's blood stared back at her. Still breathing, and the bleeding had stopped, but he was pale enough that death still looked like a likely option." Their "how we met" story for the wedding is going to be so good... [insert good GIF here] #Battlelines #AmWriting

I have a lot of stuff popping up in my calendar for a day I thought I was free... (possibly because I forgot to pick up passport photos yesterday and need to go do that ASAP)

Look at these options for a chapter ending: 1) There's only one bed. 2) I was being abandoned. Again. Which one do I end with if I write Romance? #1 - obviously. Because ending #2 leaves the reader feeling rejected. They put the book down and are sad. #1 gives hope. #LianaEdits #AmWriting

I am going to try writing and editing for a little bit, and then run some errands.

000

Now to find breakfast and get the scenes between the old writing and the new chapter done...

"Worried faces on their looks." ... I love the typos that come with early morning writing. #AmWriting #Books

Woke up with scenes for #Battlelines in my head for the first time this month so I made some notes and wrote a major scene. That's a good start to my writing day. 📚

What my kids prepped for spaghetti was chili. So.... chili with noodles and garlic bread I guess?

000

... my youngest is sending me pictures of random noodles. I think this means dinner is ready.

000

I have not increased word count but I did get some plotting done. So... progress? Of a sort?

000

I'd say I'm not going to kill anyone, but I've seen my scene list and what I'm supposed to be writing this afternoon. The body count is is not zero. So let's go kill some fictional characters! #AmWriting

Book Ad: I'm tired of people posting goddess-like FMC's! *shows a bunch of white women* Me: ... okay... Book Ad: Let's have ugly, normal-people FMC'S! People who average and boring! *shows a bunch of Desi goddesses followed by Asian actresses in glam* Me: Blocked for life.

If you've written and published books before and editing this one is hard: - drink some water - take a walk - get some sleep - refill the well - remember every book is a new book and editing is still work - you've got this #LianaEdits #AmWriting #AmEditing #Editing

Breakfast. Markets. Meetings. Writing... Let's see if I can finish another chapter today.

000

I am enjoying a late start this morning, but since I need to be on the other side of town in two hours, I should get going. Anyone else have a fun week ahead?

Sweet dreams, my lovelies. Tomorrow starts another busy week, but hopefully it will include several good days for writing!

Quick Editing Tip: Read the chapter out loud and see where you stumble. Reading it aloud slows you down and makes you see the words on the page. It's a great, cheap way to find missing words and bad phrases. #LianaEdits #AmWriting www.lianabrooks.com/...

Do you name your cars? My blue minivan we bought in Alaska is named Babe The Big Blue Ox. We usually just call him Babe.
