I’m working on a new series, and I’ve hit the point in the pre-outline where I basically know the antagonist but haven’t figured out the how or why they are going to be dicks. On the bright side, I have three other series to distract me.

I’m feeling like working on a little sci-fi slice of life today. There’s something relaxing about it.

Nothing like only having a couple of days left on a library loan to make you get your act in gear!

I keep going back and forth about whether I am going to rewrite the end of Frost & Blood or just make tweaks to it. Right now I’m leaning toward tweaks, but I’m sure tomorrow I’ll feel different.

Ah, the struggles of a fantasy author. I opened a manuscript after a fresh install of MacOS and there are so, so many red squiggles.

It's interesting: when I first started dictating, I flew through manuscripts and sometimes felt like I lost the soul of the story. Now, I’ll dictate a small area and rewrite it a half dozen times. It's slower, but feels more like creating and connects me to the story.

Cranking away on Duskdrinker today. God, I have too many books that I'm working on, but it's fun. 🤪

Tom inherited diligence — he's the hardest worker on the team. Cam got Wrath and spends it in small bursts so the big one never comes. Jessica got Lust and fears judgment more than any demon. They're Cardinal Children. books2read.com/u/3nPPZe

Aliens hiding inside the walls. Ammo gone. Perimeter collapsing. Then command says sit tight and an orbital laser from four hundred kilometers up vaporizes the forest. 800 degrees. The world turned white. books2read.com/u/mdaErO
