Time to Stress and Delete. Stress my protagonist's dilemma and goal to solve the situation, while Deleting about 20 words to meet the story length cutoff.

I hate the genre question when submitting a work to an agent. My novel has a serial killer stalking a woman as she falls in love with a female detective, all while trying to play Cupid to her two best friends. And there's a dog.

I have finally found something that when I feel like procrastinating my writing. If I say I'm going to do this instead, I'd rather write. Knitting sucks.

I just had to punish the protagonists in the middle grade book I'm working on. Rather, their parents had to punish them. I still feel awful, though.

A full-on writing day. I met my word goal on the second book of a new series, then edited two chapters of the first book. Now some solo journal roleplaying to relax.

I finished the first draft of a new middle grade adventure novel. I'm anxious to get it back from my preliminary reader so I can work with the feedback. Meanwhile, the second book in the series is starting to form in my subconscious.

I just finished the first draft of my middle grade science fantasy novel. I used Scrivener for the first time. Writing by scene with a daily goal word count countdown was a great experience.
Now for the fun part: Editing!

Seven months ago I finished a project that emptied me. Yesterday, I finally felt the energy to tell a new story. I'm returning to the world of middle grade readers and the words are running so fast I can barely keep up.

I want to edit while my partner watches TV. I put on my headphones and pull up my Spotify Writing playlist and let the music drown out the news. My partner immediately starts talking to recap the anchors to make sure I don't miss anything.
