Author Update - Revision Edition 🖊️
I looked critically and nope, I couldn't cram two chapters together, so the next one is staying at 4 pages
But it's okay, I managed to cut two pages off the manuscript
Will be back to re-drafting soon 😁

Thanks for the Q Ian!
I like to use a title matching the core theme of the book or else something related to the MC
I've actually just changed my WIPs title as what I wanted to explore is mentioned but not conveyed, and now I've got something better

How do you go about titling your works? Is it a line? A format you like? Etc #WritingPrompt

Heavy the pall on my shoulders, another Sunday I'm dragged to oblivion
To sleep perchance to dream? To snooze perchance to sleep
Too hard the rise, another headache or bout of nausea, another opportunity to languish
I want to leave this state

#writingcomnunity met some agents a while ago. 3 said they edit their authors' work. Question I didn't ask: why? You're not editors. Let the publisher's editor tell the author what to do?
Maybe then they'd have time to answer submission emails from wannabe authors? 😂

It's going to be tight (like 1 or 2 days) but I figure my October blog will be about the beta reading feedback
Still only nervous in the background, my nails are currently safe, but at least one reader gets back to me next week
Aching to see how I rate 😁

How did everyone's goals for this week go? I got some writing done (though not as much as I had hoped), finished a project around the condo, and had a good week. Plus, I did hear back on one of my submissions.

What are everyone's goals for this week? Mine are to get a lot of writing done, wrap up some projects in the condo, and just have a good week.
(Also, not a goal, since it depends on others, but I would like to hear back on at least one story I've submitted this week.)

Finally seeing a psychologist tomorrow - sadly no clinical psych there on my days off - and that meant doing the self diagnosis
My depression and anxiety are nonexistent, but my stress is in orbit
Let's see if all my shit can fuel their thesis...

The outline for the new short story is finished. I might not start writing it until after StokerCon, but I'm excited to work on it, so it should be worth the wait. Hopefully the final product turns out as awesome as I think it will be. (And not too long, either.)

The ability to understand
To find release;
Of mind and spirit.
The joy it brings
Pure understanding
Immeasurable;
Freedom of spirit

In the corner was a band. The music was off-key and lively. They looked as if they were expecting a fight to break out or someone to shoot an arrow at their feet. Lissie watched the fiddle player dodge a thrown shot glass. It clattered heavily against the wall. Metal.
