I guess I'll do a #cosowriters #introductions as well.

I'm a writer of #sciencefiction, #fantasy, and other #specfic genres that aren't very easy to define. Sometimes it's superheroes and aliens. Sometimes it's dragon shifters. Sometimes it's a weird blend of everything.

My current #writing goals are to get myself that coveted big six publishing contract. I've already self published, and I've already done indie presses. Time to do something new.

I currently post some of my work on Wattpad.

Some more about me. I follow a lot of fandoms. #degrassi #onechicago #thisisus #bigbrother #survivor and more. They're all over the place, as you can tell.

I'm a #writer of speculative fiction of various genres. I read books of all kinds too.

I'm a #gamer of primarily RPGS and action/adventure single player games. My gaming time is my ME time.

I have a day job at the local school. I don't talk about it too much.

Two kids, two cats, one husband.

And that's my #introductions post.

I'm so excited. I got the rights back to some of my old stuff and now I can put it up on my Wattpad. Maybe I'll self publish it again at some point too, but it needs a solid edit first.

Spent a lot of time at the zoo. Now I'd like to try and get some words out. I also kind of want to spend the day bed rotting. Both are acceptable options, right?

Taking a day off from the day job just because. 3 Personal days. Use them or lose them, right?

Going to write all of the words. The. End.

Doing a "day in the life of" on my Instagram in case I forget to post things here for accountability.

I did pretty well on my goals for yesterday! So let's do another #accountability post, shall we?

GOALS:

1) Stay awake.
2) READ.
3) Beta.
4) Format.
5) Client work. (2-3k)
6) ME work. (ANYTHING)
7) Get a walk in.

This should be doable, yeah? Share your goals too and I'll see what I can do to cheer you on.

I keep having dreams about writing projects and I don't have the stamina to keep up with my ambition. Does anyone else have this issue? Just me? *sigh*

#amwriting #writingcommunity

Goals for today:

1) Write 2500 words for client.
2) Read my audio book.
3) Read my ebook.
4) Read my print book.
5) Work on Beta for client.
6) Work on formatting for SelfPub.
7) Write on Lab1. Anything. Seriously.

Busy day. But...I'm determined to make it happen!

I've got 40 more days until the day job goes on Summer Break. Not like I'm counting or anything...

I made it through vacation in one piece! It was fun, just busy. Now I need a few days to recover. Then it's back to the day job. Vacation time goes so fast. 😭

Well, I've got all of my latest story uploaded to Wattpad. It's scheduled to post 4 chapters every Wednesday. The first 4 are up now, though. :) Along with the other books in the series.

I've got two more months and then the day job goes on pause until next Fall. It's so close! I love it. I have big hopes for this summer. I'm sure I can do them as long as I can keep advocating for my time.

One reason I've quit taking naps is because they always end with the kids fighting and I'm jolted awake with a headache.

It's a new month, so that means a new plan of action! I've been habit stacking "No Nap" and "20-40 minute walk" into my routine lately. Time to habit stack some other things!

Maybe I'll share pictures on my instagram.

In other news, I've decided that while I love the work I do at my day job, I do not like doing it full time because the atmosphere I work in is so hit or miss it stresses me out.

This is lighting a fire under my butt to make writing my full time job that pays bills. I'm hoping that with motivation comes results. I know it's a long game. A very long game. But I won't win the game if I don't even start playing.

Ended up going to karate class and taking a much needed shower. Feeling a little better and less stressed out. Now it's time to write for a client. Then it will be time to write for myself. Then I'm ending the day with some Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

I am going to scream today. I need to. A good cathartic barbaric yalp!

I'm so over everything right now.

I'm dedicating the next hour of my life to creating something. Anything. Then I am reading.

After playing an embarrassing amount of #ff7remake and dealing with a migraine, I think I'm ready to tackle my inner demons and some words.

...and some laundry.

I'll check back with all the accountability related things.

It feels like spring, so we're spring cleaning!

I think I need to regroup until Sunday. Something about this week feels so out of control and overwhelming. I hate feeling this way. I wish I was able to maintain productivity amidst the stress better. But...right now I just can't. Perhaps admitting it will make healing from it easier rather than push myself and my denial.

I've gone two days in a row where I haven't taken a nap in the afternoon. This is a BIG deal. Gaming after work is doing wonders for me.
