I would revive my YouTube channel, become a full-time author/artist, and offer low-cost editing, proofreading, & formatting services to other indie authors as a side hustle.

I want to offer editing, proofreading, & formatting services so bad, but I have no time. 😭
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I’ve noticed that there is a direct correlation between the number of ellipses in a scene and how bad of a time my characters are having.

I don’t have to feel bad about or apologize for the cliffhangers at the end of the first 3 Sidetracked books anymore because the whole series is out now, so each cliffhanger only last 5 seconds before you start reading the next book.

CW: dead animal

Walked down to a park by the river to hang out. 7yo runs ahead, down the embankment toward the water. As my wife & I reach the trail, 7yo comes back up holding a freshly dead river otter she found washed up on the bank.

it’s sad. Might keep it & try retrieving the bones.

I finished drafting my WIP last weekend and spent this week updating the formatting in a few of my epubs. I expected writing to take me a lot longer, but I locked in, I less. lol

One epub left to update (I may be able to finish this weekend), then I’m free to start editing my WIP.

I like listening to video game soundtracks while writing. (Music with lyrics is too distracting.)

I’m so tempted to write genderswap Sidetracked as a web serial just for fun

I have so many unhinged ideas for female Ice Monroe

As a man, Ice is determined to appear outwardly normal & subdued, but female Ice is a social media influencer & leans hard into the dramatic hot college girl persona

This might be my favorite (non-angst) scene in all of Sidetracked.

I wrote the holiday epilogue novella just so I could write them being happy losers in love like this again. 🥲

The River Sapphire! Once Jayde can no longer wear it without turning into a cat, she almost always still keeps it on her person (in her pocket or wallet) or within arm’s reach (on her bedside table). Just in case.

If anything happens, throwing the necklace on could save her life.
