Mini book haul! Some of these had been in the wishlist for a while

Does anyone have advice for chronic underwriters? Right now I'm editing and it feels like I'm just adding arbitrary information to pad out the word count to industry standard, though my beta tells me that the additional info is needed. #writesky #writingcommunity #underwriting

Novel WIP: “The lighthouse stood tall, the tip of its roof disappearing into the mist surrounding it.” Short Story WIP: “Ghosts are lost souls. If you keep calling out - "here I am!" - they will follow your voice home.”

At work: man I can’t wait to get home and write! Once home: what if I simply take a nap in this sunbeam on my back porch?

Owning a lot of books is great. Packing and moving with a lot of books is not great.

Moved to the other end of the state this week and start a new job on Monday. I, in my hubris, thought I could also write a short story during this period. Shockingly, that did not happen.

Well that was wishful thinking. Got all of one chapter edited thanks to Yule Log. Behold the face of a menace.

Gotta be Shirley Jackson. The Haunting of Hill House was hugely influential for me as a writer.

#PhantomsFriday The Drowned Man's Ghost Tries to Claim a New Victim for the Sea, Thorvald Niss [1842-1905] Skagens Museum, Skagen, Denmark #TheVictorianBookoftheDead

In a seaside landscape, a skeletal figure tugs at a man in oilskins as they stand in the water, just off the beach. Gray, stormy clouds in the sky, and a tower or lighthouse stands in the distance.
