I didn't get a single word edited this weekend. But I did get to cuddle this cutie, so I guess that's a good compromise. 😍😂

I'm working on my second draft and slowly coming to the realization that I may, in fact, be forced to write more words.

drifting slowly through a field
i wonder
how many flowers ago
was it
that you pressed your mouth to my ear,
your breath
spilling
warm and soft?
even now,
the grasses lean
as though your breath
has never left

One beta reader described my book as "well-written" and complimented my grammar and characters.
Another reported, "Well, I've gotten through two chapters and I'm not horrified yet."
Praise pouring in from all over!

I'm in the part that would 100% be made into a montage if my life were a movie, and what do you mean I actually have to do the work?
Can't we just put on an upbeat pop song and string together clips of me working??
