THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS is eligible for a Hugo, a Locus, and a Nebula, so consider it if you're a person who gets to nominate for those awards, pretty please?

THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July, so add that to a TBR now!

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
Q4: What can you do in the next three days to make the next week of #FirstDraftFall easier for yourself? #WeeknightWriters
November 28, 2025 at 1:15 AM
it WAS very exciting to start a brand-new almost-unplanned draft of something on my vacation and to just get EXCITED and the words were flowing and ahhhhhhhhhh I missed that feeling

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
Q3: Let’s cheer things up a bit! What’s your favourite part of #FirstDraftFall so far? #WeeknightWriters
November 28, 2025 at 12:52 AM
sticking to one project lolol which is always frustrating for me bc I spent so many years only ever working on one project at a time

like if I could work on multiple projects at once but make actual progress on each, that would be awesome

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
Q2: Are you struggling with anything specific in your #FirstDraftFall project? Tell us about it and we’ll see how we can help! #WeeknightWriters
November 28, 2025 at 12:41 AM
...I'd feel better if it were all on a single project, but it's good to be writing 😅 and as much as I love THE LORD OF THE WOOD, it's good to be working on other stuff again

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters
Q1: How are you feeling about your #FirstDraftFall progress so far? Excited? Disheartened? #WeeknightWriters
November 28, 2025 at 12:40 AM
oops I'm late but I'm here! hi hello I'm E (she/they) and for #FirstDraftFall I started a new project which wasn't what I was meant to work on, briefly worked on what I was meant to work on, and returned to a project I started last Christmas that I'm not meant to work on

#WeeknightWriters
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your #FirstDraftFall project is going!

Also like. I don't believe for a moment that those numbers are unbiased. How many people are actually intentionally using it, vs people who are being forced to see the Google AI summary when they run a search?
A lot of people are being like 'yeah well XXX million amount of people are using ChatGPT so whether we like it AI is here to stay' and not taking into account that if the underlying companies don't prove profitable the venture capitalists will stop bankrolling them and those services will go down.

I have much to be thankful this year. I'd be even more thankful for folks to read my YA sci-fi issues book debut, Worlds Divide. It's on NetGalley as 'read now' for a few more days and by request for December.

at this time a year ago, having just sent my editor (at last)(after two deadline extensions) a full manuscript (and having told her she didn't even need to read it bc I'd just had An Idea), I sat in this coffee shop and started drafting the version of THE LORD OF THE WOOD that's finally going to pub
November 26, 2025 at 12:51 AM
...I didn't see working on a story that was not MarthaWIP 😅 although tonight I have opened MarthaWIP again which is like a whole new twist. will I see anything through?? will I cycle between projects, writing 100 words at a time, for the rest of my life?? I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT

#MelsNoWriMo
I am back for #MelsNoWriMo and see you had fun without me. Yay. That's the plan.
So for today, was there something in your story that caught you by surprise? A plot twist, character trait, the Spanish Inquisition?
