Sitting at home. Recovering post-workout.
Just got a GREAT idea for a scene in my current story.
Go to sit down and write; and it vanishes.
Completely gone.

The absolute RAGE when I realized I deleted a whole scene somehow from my first chapter. And I didn’t make a backup. And I THOUGHT I was done with the book.

Was going through some old sketchbooks and rediscovered this one that I did in about 15 mins at a Barnes and Noble. I think I might use it as a basis for a character in an upcoming story. #authorsofbluesky #authorthings #sketchbook #sketching #art

Trying to do one "author" thing per day is sometimes a stretch, but hey, I got my beta readers some more chapters, answered some emails, and did a few edits in chapter 1. Slowly but surely inching closer to publishing. #writing #authorthings

The weird things authors do to get themselves into the story...🤭
My main POV characters smell like Jasmin, Sandalwood, and 'fresh soap' respectively.
So, I got these scents for my diffuser, to figure out exactly how that smells.
Dedication to the cause, hehe 🫣
