Giving thanks for my beta readers once again. This week I’ve been in a tear making revisions after getting their feedback a few weeks ago. It’s so great to be deep in a character’s head that I avoided before. #WeeknightWriters

Today marks 1 year since I finished the 1st draft of my 1st novel. Life went sideways shortly after. Still I persist. Through the pain & craziness, I refine my work. I meet with coaches, writing groups, & will attend conferences. I write & someday I will publish. #amwriting 📚 #booksky #persist

The owls went silent at midnight when humans blew up the sky & dogs ran shivering to hide & I groaned awake as the sky lit up & the house shook & the dogs shook & I wondered if the owls did too. Pre-dawn, when pyrotechnics were done & dogs slept beside me I heard the owls & sighed Awake #poetry

@darylwriterguy.bsky.social manages with When We Were Real to create a believable future-now world(s) more bizarre than whatever we’re living in now. A true writing feat! Freaking great audio read too! Washington Anywhere library needs to add it! #libby #amreading #futurenow #scifi #readthisbook
