While working on one of the last chapters of Phoenix's Call, I turned the page and found this.
Instantly I had flashbacks to when my son was very young, probably around 6 or so, and he would steal my notebooks to scribble in them.

This is the closest I've ever been to finishing the full draft. My goal is to finish these last chapters before 1/1/26 and I can't believe how attainable that is.
QOTD: How's your WIP going? Share your writing goals for the rest of the year!

I didn't realize how close I was getting to finally drafting this book. I've been trying to tell this story since 2016 and I can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm almost there!
I think this is some of my best writing. No, that's not true, I KNOW it is.

Having a slow morning today after overdoing things yesterday. It helps to have my snuggle buddy never too far away.
As much progress as I've been making, I'm trying to remember to pause and take a break.

Taako is once again demanding attention while I edit 😆.
Back in the chair today, tackling another episode of Battle Cry while chugging matcha.
Depending on when I get the rest of the pickups done, I'm hoping to have a release date for you later this month. Fingers crossed!

Happy Monday!
It's been weeks since I've sat at my desk. While I'm still not 💯 recovered from the flu, I am doing much better. Easing slowly back into work mode.

I'm still recovering from the flu but I just had to bake something, even though I'm exhausted. So here is my first pineapple upside down cake. It smells amazing and now I need a nap.
I hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

Took a little break from @battlecryofficial.bsky.social the last couple of weeks after focusing on nothing else in January.
There are still some lines that need to be redone but there's plenty of work to do. Right now I'm focusing on sound effects!

Last week was all over the place and I'm really hoping to get back to business as usual. This year I decided to do a bullet journal and I've actually been keeping up with it!
My tasks are minimal at the moment as I'm trying to ease back into the flow.
