Every once in a while I go "yeah, I can make some video content for my day job; and:
I can edit it
I can direct it
I can compose the shots
I can give great live tours and lectures
I CANNOT function in front of a camera.
I either bluescreen every 3 words, or I wander out of frame.

Did I NEED to borrow more library books?
No.
But did I borrow a third one anyways when I was at the library for a writer's chat?
Yes, yes I did.

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...
So, anyway.
I have books and stories out there.

Last year this time, I was literally on the road, moving.
This time this year, I am merely packing up ... so i can move next month. Thankfully I have far less distance to go.
Really is putting a dent in my time to edit🥲
No idea when I'm gonna be able to get my next novel out

Woke up today to the first little bit of snow on the ground.
Look, I love snow. But I was hoping it would wait until after I move 😅

Rare (partial) face pic!
It's day 2 of market weekend! 🛍📚
Super excited about today, though I'm still tired from yesterday.
I won't be at this market next weekend, so if you're in Sault Ste Marie, come by the Bushplane Heritage Centre today!

Really glad I decided not to do any sort of writing challenge in the spirit of NaNoWriMo this year/month ...
'Cause its November 1st and I would NOT have had energy to write this evening.
Around 1500 people were at the market today. I am WIPED. And tomorrow is day 2!

At what number of different books do people stop saying "congradulations" after I tell them I wrote them all.
I don't know, it just seems weird to me 😅

I'm all set up for my first ever market WEEKEND.
I've only ever done single day markets before, and this one is a HUGE holiday craft show.
If you're in Sault Ste Marie, you probably were already going to go to the Bushplane for it ... but come now and see me!

Literally as I was falling asleep in bed last night my brain FINALLY figured out how to fix up one character's arc in the novel I'm editing.
I'm stuck at work all day but I desperately want to go and edit because a few changes to the beginning chapters and the characters growth is gonna be insane!

Today I found out that the Wildwood books I loved when I was younger is getting an animated movie adaptation ... made by LAIKA.
Even if its not 100% accurate, it is going to hit those vibes so hard.

Went to a local writers group tonight for the first time. It was so nice to get out and chat with people about all sorts of writing and publishing stuff!
Definitely going back for the meeting next month.

Planning to carve a jack-o-lantern this afternoon.
I just need to decide which Halloween movie I should watch as I do so. 🤔
I tend to go for something nostalgic but there are so many good options

It was silent book club tonight!
I brought The Scorpio Races to reread.
Its been a while since I've reread anything, and it is such an amazing book.
(Also super autumnal for October)

I got out to at least the book fair part of Author Palooza today!
(Couldn't get to the panels in the morning - I have work, so I could only sneak out for so long)
It was super nice to be able to meet and chat with some other local authors!

The Walls Fall Down has been out for a year, so I decided it was finally time to do sale stats.
(I'd been avoiding it 'cause I didn't want to know)
And y'all, its less than I'd thought it was going to be 🥲
Anyone wanna help a girl get the number up and buy a copy?

It feels like this shouldn't be real in this day and age.

The local library announced their Author Palooza event only ONE week before the event is being held.
Its also a week day and ends at 3pm.
This feels counterintuitive to getting people to attend.

Finally finished Morning Star! That ending guys 🫣 I had no spoilers so WOW.
Glad I can say I've finished the Red Rising trilogy
(yes, I know there are more books ... but you can't convince me this wasn't originally a trilogy)
It was super good, and sci-fi isn't always my thing
