I finished formatting the manuscript for book two in Atticus today, and I'm pleased with the results. That's one more item I can check off of my very long list of publishing duties.

Without #writing, I don't know how I would've survived my younger years. I'm thankful to have another tool to help with CPTSD. A memory resufaced a moment ago that has me in tears. You can never know a person's struggles just by looking at them.

The course of life never does run straight. I attended a wedding this weekend, a joyous occassion, only to return to the news that a family friend passed away last night. Two life-altering events in the span of 24 hours. Hug your people.

I'm being held captive at an out-of-town wedding this weekend (not mine--Gale Dekarios hasn't swept me away yet.) I'm bringing my laptop so I can hide in my hotel room & do some #writing. If I vanish, I was last seen wearing a...dress (ugh!) and trying to break an ankle in 1.5" heels.

I'm listening to an audio story, and the excerpt is, "He unclasped his heavy fur mantle and draped it over her shoulders, wrapping her in the scent of pine and immense power." WTH does 'immense power' smell like? Reads like AI slop to me.

Tonight my 15-yr-old Southern Flying squirrel passed away of *very* old age. Ami (Amelia Earhart) was a gentle soul, now homeward bound to the Summerlands. Spare a thought for the wee ones who take flight in the darkened night. Goddess bless you and carry you home.

Oooh. I like this one. My character used the last of her oxygen to cast an air bubble spell while underwater, then started pummeling the monster in the gills until it let go. She didn't know if the spell would work underwater when she cast it. #writingprompt #characterdesign #dnd

I've been #writing for years: articles, short #stories, blog posts. The thing that finally enabled me to finish writing my first & second novels was the overwhelming urge to write the thing I wanted to read: the series that was missing from the ecosystem, & bring the characters to life. #books
