I'm on the rewrite roller coaster of "Wow this is so fun!!!" and "I'm going to BURN this manuscript."

Buckle up!

A post from Robert Irwin, Steve Irwin's son. There are 2 photos. Above, Steve Irwin feeds a large crocodile in front of a stand full of onlookers. Below is a nearly identical photo of Robert. "Dad and me feeding Murray... Same place, same croc. Two photos 15 years apart." Heart emoji, crocodile emoji.

#WholesomeWednesday

We're resetting the vibes. Share a wholesome story, some good news, some motivation, and/or a pet photo (please add alt text).

Captured in September, along the side of a road, a black and white photo of wild daisies with delicate petals and textured centers. The background is blurred. A light shadow appears as small grey heart at the bottom of the frame.

There is a heart among the flowers

Thank you!

It's definitely going well so far! Hope that holds!

What a week! 😀

Got the first draft all noted and ready to be torn down and rebuilt. So I guess I better get some rest this weekend! Because come Monday, it's time to get to WORK! 💪

One year on from this book baby's pub day. There's since been a large print edition, and the paperback just dropped too!

Happy birthday, Storm Clouds. Can't wait to see what you do next!

If anyone needs me, I'll be frolicking outside in the gorgeous springy weather which I know won't be sticking around for long.

It is the Midwest, after all! 😆

I sometimes pretend to myself that I have insomnia.

When what I really have is a good book and inadequate respect for tomorrow.

Hey.

Even if you didn't write a single word today, you're still a writer.

Even if you dont write tomorrow. The whole week. Doesn't matter.

Word counts don't make you a writer, my friends 💜

Powering through ANOTHER head cold today. Because things are just going too well with this draft to stop now!

It's a snowy, windy, and cold Monday.

A good one to spend indoors working on this infuriating first draft.

Librarian PSA:

You do not need to use this many sticky notes. Definitely don't leave them in your library book when you return it. #librarysky #booksky

I write blog posts too - and Wordpress just chose one of my posts for their "Freshly Pressed" page. Which means a lot to me, as the subject matter is deeply personal.

The post is called "London Calling: Conquering OCD" - and you can read it here: wordpress.com/discover/

It's winter again in Indiana today.

So my brain is vacationing in my photography files from Fiji!
