#Today 27
Good day!
FINISHED! The targeted edit on Book3 is done. A fast read-thru for continuity, then on to Book2 & its publication.
I’ll also, at last, hike, but also clean this poor apartment & prep my journal for May…
May is my mental health scourge, & always a good time to be busy.
Be everwell.

Y'all… there's a wait list for my audiobook at the library! Tonight, I thought, Ooh, I'll check it out so I can make sure the publisher published the right files (because how horrible would it be if they didn't?). And I have to WAIT for it! It's the little wins. The losses have been a lot, so I need to focus on the little wins.

12yo *from across the room*: because I don't meditate
This kid, y'all

Good day!
ONE chapter remains in Book3 to edit, one with high emotions.
I’ll then take a couple of days to read through the two threads looking for major continuity issues.
My priority, though, will be a hike. I’ve abused my body to finish this month. It’s time to recharge on the trail.
Be everwell.

When I was first published over a decade ago, Book Tours were a wonderful way to market a new book. But with the demise of blogs, book promotion is a lot harder.

I am currently working on fixing the documentation of my story that someone wrote in a way that doesn't make any sense, and I'm told they were fully awake, okay yes it was me...

Good day!
THREE chapters remain to edit in Book3.
I had a flashback yesterday, a moment of irrational fear when I questioned if my next breath would be there.
It was.
That wasn’t always the case. Once you’ve taken a breath & there was no air, you never forget.
I’m grateful for each one.
Be everwell.
For anyone who's struggling to write right now (for any number of reasons!), I really can't recommend Isabel Sterling's workshops highly enough - and there are 4 of them free to watch online now: https://www.isabelsterling.com/resources
Personally, I rewatched her "Beyond Burnout" workshop today, & it was such a good idea: https://www.isabelsterling.com/beyondburnout-replay

Good day!
FOUR chapters remain for me to edit in Book3. Yesterday’s was hampered by nearby construction that even overpowered my headphones.
I finished.
Today, more construction? I’m prepared. I’ll walk, edit my blog post, & tackle a chapter.
They won’t stop me.
Be everwell.

Good day!
It’s difficult to get up when there’s a soft, purring creature snuggled tight to your chest.
FIVE chapters left to edit in Book3.
When I walk this morning it’ll be freezing. The nights remain cold, the days mild.
I’ll then draft this week’s blog post, part two in a self-editing series.
Be everwell.

Good day!
SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.
I’ll grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.
I’m so ready to hike. I’ve never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.
Be everwell.
