First draft of the Queen's Waterman complete. Started on Jan 11, finished on Feb 28. 75k so far. Will need a lot of rework.
Now I need to finish the "final" editing pass of Delay of Game.
I don't think I can juggle three novels at once, and not-Mike is very demanding.

Over 71k. I'm nearing the end. At some point soon, more than kissing will happen. I really hope I have enough plot to make it to 80k and, if not, at least enough plot + inserting other bits of magic into the story to reach 80k. And if not, enough plot + magic bits + details to make it to 80k. And if not... #WritingIsHard

I've been staring at the last three words for an hour, trying to figure out what comes next. #WritingIsHard

Consider leaving a rating or review for a book today. If not a book, a video you liked. Or any content that you consumed recently. Let that person know that they did something you liked.

It matters.

Just took 17 minutes to write a 1-sentence email because every version sounded either:
1. Like I was quitting
2. Like I was about to propose
3. Like I was an AI bot pretending to be friendly

Anyway, happy Friday! 😊 #WritingIsHard #SendTweet

So now that I'm several chapters into writing a lesbian romance surely there's been some sparks between the characters?
Well…one of them took the other to hospital and then did insurance fraud to keep them safe.
SPICY!!!!

Can you hear it? My internal screaming is breaking the barriers of reality! I'm deep into writing this next chapter, wondering what in the world am I doing, how did I get here, and should I scarp it (and possibly a chunk of a previous chapter) to smooth things over? Sometimes this writing thing is a pain (aside from the constant depression of not having enough people read the work I already have out there). Anyway...
