Magical #writing day yesterday. Wrote 1,000 words in book 3, #TheSage. Sold two copies of book 2, #Flip. Sold one copy of book 1, #WeAllWish. I don't often have days like this. :-) #BookSky 💙📚 At some point I'll have to harmonize the cover styles.

Blew it out of the park today. Wrote 1210 words, one of my best days ever. Having actually lived the scene I was writing made it easier, I guess. I've been #writing it in my head for a decade. Back to the sub-1000 grind tomorrow. ;-) 💙📚 #BookSky #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Hit 10,323 words in the third novel of my gritty-cozy Kennedy-Meyer crime series, so I'm about a seventh of the way there. Who knows? Could come out in 2026. But 2027 is a better bet.

In about three weeks I'll publish Flip, the second novel in my gritty-cozy, noir, hard-boiled, rom-com crime drama (think Spenser and Susan without the smarm). #BookSky 📚💙🖋️ #writing The series began with #WeAllWish:

340 ain't a lot of words, but it's a page of #writing, and it gets me to the end of a key chapter. The chapter will require lots of re-writing, but at least I got through it. Now the story accelerates to its thrilling conclusion! #BookSky 💙📚 #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Another one of those laborious days #writing the old #fiction. 474 words. Not feelin' it. I'm lucky I spent thirty years as a technical and marketing writer. No write, no pay. I can power through even on the down days. #BookSky 💙📚

Wrote 639 words today. Page 76 of my novel. Twenty thousand words do far. Getting close to a third of the way there. Doesn't feel as good as I'd hoped. Anyway, plow forward. #writing #BookSky 💙📚 #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Chapter 38 of #TheSage, third book in the Kennedy-Meyer crime-mystery series. So far this morning I've written 272 words.

I'm #writing page 123 of #TheSage, and I can tell I'm creating 'what should logically happen next' problems. I forsee serious rewriting in draft two. #BookSky 💙📚 #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

One of those magical writing days where you finally pen the scene you've been writing in your head for the past year. The words pour out, all sorts of neat phrases and so little effort! A thousand beautiful #words in a few hours! #TheSage #WeAllWish #Flip #BookSky 💙📚

That's it. I'm done. My umpteenth proofing-turned-editing session is done. Now I create the e-version and I format the print. Both covers are ready save some tweaking. Publication early September.

The words have been coming in dribbles lately, like an old man getting up repeatedly during the night. At 350 words per day, it'll be another three months to finish draft one of #TheSage.

It's #Canada #Book Day on April 23. I had no idea, until I saw a Kobo promo for it. Anyway, my book We All Wish is in there, on sale for $.99 that day. It's a sort of gritty-cozy, noirish, enemies-to-lovers crime drama. #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Gorgeous #writing morning! Sky is blue, the ideas are there. Two main characters are going to have an important chin wag this morning. Four minor characters will be introduced, one of whom will be fifth business. #BookSky 💙📚 #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Hey everyone, I have a ‘front row’ seat (well space) to the BIGLY cremation being arranged in Washington DC and as a wheelchair user I can have someone with me, any takers? #WeAllWish #USpol

I was considerably older when I pûblished my first. And considerably older than that for the one that just came out. Who cares? On the Web, your author photo always looks like you're 35! ;-)

Last week was a disaster, #writing -wise. Only managed a few hundred words. Hopefully back in form this week. Of late, I've been hitting over 4000 per week, but I'd settle for a solid 2500 this week.

Enjoy using #Calibre to convert a doc to EPUB and then tweak, tweak, tweak the HTML and CSS. I've got two books coming up soon on Kobo - the first two in my hard-boiled, gritty-cozy #Kennedy-Meyer series. #writing #editing #BookSky #WeAllWish #Flip 💙📚🖋️

Can't decide if I want to have a murder in my upcoming gritty-cozy #Kennedy-Meyer crime mystery novel. The first book had a murder, but it was off-screen, and a bit goofy. A murder in book three would be fairly chilling. #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage #writing #BookSky 💙📚

Book 2 of my Kennedy-Meyer crime series took three months to write and three months to edit, proof and publish. Book 3 is only half-written, and it's already month four. This one will take a year, minimum. #WeAllWish #Flip #TheSage

Just blew past thirty thousand words in my latest novel, the second in the Kennedy-Meyer series. Grand fun. Very encouraging. But now, back to work work. I hate how it eats into my fiction-writing time!
