Y’all. I am political as a person but I don’t follow political accounts. I can’t have that trauma streaming on my feed. Sorry. I like to keep my feed to art and writing and creatives and life. We don’t talk about the orange menace here.

Today I will buy nothing.

Although I don’t buy a lot anyway but today I’ll make sure it’s not a day where I do.

Help. This is my attempt to create an abstract landscape book cover for my sci-fi novel. It’s the inside of the space station. Is this working or do I need more representational detail? What do yall think.

I only started reading historical romance seven years ago for ghostwriting purposes and found it really helped with my anxiety. My kindle is full of that while my shelves are full of SFF.

I did manage to break through yesterday’s clunk. Idk if the chapter is better but I got through and now it’s rambling instead. But at least rambling leads to moving forward.

Today I only wrote about 500 words in my fake marriage criminal novel. It’s feeling a little clunky so it’s not moving well.

I should probably go for a 9pm writing session just to get through the clunk so I can start tomorrow fresh. Clunkless.

I have a sci fi wip with a kitty named Nyx Lady of the Void and she’s able to communicate with a sentient space station. She’s not a pov character but it’s because she’s not so sure communicating with humans is worth her time. She’ll stick to space stations.

Hi #SFFChat. I’m Rowena and I write mostly sci fi with some romance and ‘magic,’(according to Arthur C Clarke)
My debut Spacewitch (amazon KU) came out in Dec and I’m about to query Moonshine while working on a new sci fi romance. All in the same universe. I’m also a painter and teacher.

Thanks! I had to cut almost half of the passage out to fit.

The best way I’ve found to make writing easy is to write every day. I know that feels burdensome to some people but a daily writing habit sets up a routine so I don’t fight my mind and body to get to work. I just sit down at the regular time and my internal clock says it’s time to write.

#SFFChat Q4

She could almost feel him sitting next to her like a person, which was ridiculous, because he was a ship colonized with 95 different species of Inanis Animantia, not a person at all, but he was more of a person than almost anyone else.

Nope. I’m not watching again. I did that last time and the only thing it did was literally make me sick.
I’m starving narcissists of attention and focusing my life on creating hope and joy where I am. We deserve happiness no matter how often we’re told we’re nothing but objects to be used.

Today I wrote 2748 words for a total of 15646 words in my sci fi romance about a couple of criminals on the lam from their pirate captain while hiding on a sentient station as a fake married couple of farmers. Its working title is Double Trouble. Sci fi romance you see. Fake relationship ftw.

I’ve got one. And an extensive series Bible. I’ve been doing nano for 18 years and only lost on the year I moved cross country. But it’s harder to finish outside of the official challenge. Staying on track is a trick.

That is a very good point!

Never mind that one day I wrote 3k and one day I wrote 400. The point is to keep writing.
