Somewhat murky painting of a young woman holding a broom leaning down to read papers on a wooden table. An envelope with a wax seal is on the floor by the table and a chair with embroidered cushions is behind it. The young woman is wearing rough clothes with a tucked up apron over her dark skirt. Image by Théophile Emmanuel Duverger (1821–1898) from Wikimedia Commons.

Writing from my kitchen table today because the desk is buried under research books, mugs, and life. Not glamorous, but the words are moving. If you write from chaos too, I see you. How do you make it work? #authorlife #writinglife #writerproblems

Today, after a great workout at the gym, I have mostly been philosophising about ghosts for my WIP.

The one good thing about temperatures rising next week: the pool might be swimmable. Had it built last fall and haven't been in yet.
This will take time away from writing, reading, and researching... but there's no reason a person can't relax once in a while, right?

I do most of my editing in Autocrit (@autocrit.bsky.social) and decided to run my summary score out of curiosity to see whether all my changes affected it. It actually went up! Bestseller, here I come, lol. @ThreeDragonsP

Getting inside the head of a serial killer is never easy, but #DanyaKukafka did it well here. Got a bit lost with all the characters, but I'm bad that way. Good read. #writingcommunity #writers #writing #books #crimebooks #WritingLife

What story do you see here?

Something new is taking shape.
Warm, human, and just a little too old for nonsense. #NewBook #WritingLife #Author#TooOldForNonsense
One year ago, I published *Wounded Angels*.
It hasn’t gotten much attention, but I’m proud of it. It came from a real place, and in a very real way, it brought me back to life creatively.
