• My brain woke me up at 5am and was like, “Dude! I got a great idea for the next chapter!” I gave in and jotted it down. Why fight it? It was a hilarious idea. Then my brain was like, “Hehe. . . . And more and more and more and MOAR!” 😴🥱

• I wrote the epilogue first on my current book, which ties into Arachnomancer 3. I just read it and teared up, haha. I mean, what the hell is up with these allergies?

• You know you're a writer when... You slam your head into the open door of a cupboard and, while pinching your eyes shut in pain, you mentally try to catalogue what you feel so you can better capture it in prose later.

• Perusing writing communities has got to be my worst habit. I just saw a question, "How do I start writing?" And I just wanted to scream, "START WRITING!" There's no shortcut, people. Sit yourself down and start writing. Trial and error. Persistence is key. Now go write.

• It's rare to write and publish a book. So many people want to be writers and never commit. It's even more rare for writers to persist after the first few years. They don't sell enough or fall prey to criticism and stop. To those of you who've kept persisting, you have my respect.

• My focus on writing for fun (and turning off my critical voice as much as possible) is helping me get the words flowing again. My normal goal is 1,200 words, and today I completed 2,000. I think they are good words, and the stories are fun (and crazy, haha). :)

• Yesterday, I helped my sister jumpstart her car only to kill my 10-year-old battery. Haha. We got a friend to jumpstart my car and before I could help my sister, she locked herself out of her car. I also forgot my wallet… Crazy day. Now, I'm back to writing! 😁

• Every week, my watch congratulates me on hitting my activity goals. Perfect week! Perfect month! Perfect year! Yeah, I know, I'm impressed with myself as well. And all it took was two minutes to adjust my movement goal to nothing. #smart

• Every day I weigh myself and say condescending things to my lack of abs. I think, "I should exercise." Of course, I don't. But maybe I should. . . . You know, there's nothing stopping me from dropping and doing 10 pushups right this sec— Yeah, that sucked.

• I'm confident I know how to fix one of my older books that combined Pokemon with auto battlers. It would be a kishotenketsu/slice-of-life story with a focus on a fun game, loot, progression, and comedy. I really want to write it. It sucks having so many interests. 😭
