A chapter just became a short story.
Finally back to my novel. Finished a chapter today that feels complete in a way that said this can live on its own.
So I’m working on revisions and getting it ready to submit.
Crazy how this process works sometimes.

I spent nearly 2 hours editing a short story today. This is the skill I’m struggling with the most but it felt good today. Hopefully ready to submit before the end of the month. #writingcommunity #writersky #authorsky #writingupdate

I attended a Christopher Moore author appearance at Anderson's Bookshop! He delved into his writing & new novel, Anima Rising. Got to chat with him while he signed 3 books! Glad he told me about the online bonus material for Sacre Bleu. @theauthorguy.bsky.social #ChristopherMoore #AnimaRising

1000(ish) words seems to be the magic number for my sessions lately. Just finished a scene I feel good about.

Just finished “Inadverent” by Karl Ove Knausgaard, the 39th book I read in 2024. I read so many great books this year and have two new favorite authors: Knausgaard and David Mitchell.
