Fat girl jokes
Dear Diary, So, Anne and I barely got any sleep last night due to scoring on each other with fat joke after fat joke. I don’t know how we got on the topic considering neither of us is overweight, but boy did we roast the shit out of each other. 😅 Some highlights: Me:…
Read MoreFeels
Dear Diary, To be honest, I’m not really feeling the whole diary entry thing today – or much of anything, really. Which kind of sucks, because I know I’ve been gone these past three days to deal with Real Life® issues, and I planned on coming back with a bang, but… A lot happened during…
Read MoreStaying in bed with Anne 😜
Dear Diary, I didn’t want to get out of bed today. I woke up several minutes before my alarm went off and just stared at the ceiling, not feeling life at all. I knew I had to get up and start writing, but I just had zero motivation to leave the warmth and comfort of…
Read MorePushing through it
Dear Diary, I woke up today not feeling the whole writing thing. At all. I went through the usual rituals, sat down in front of my laptop, and stared blankly at the screen as coffee sludged its way through my system. First thing I had to decide was what story I wanted to work on…
Read MoreDebating my ratchetness
Dear Diary, So, I did three things of interest today, and not much else: I worked on Voyeurs Seasons 2 for almost seven hours, mainly plotting out the season and the first episode. I also messed around with the cover (I’m taking a shot at doing it myself this time); once I’m happy with the…
Read MoreBleeding onto the keyboard
Dear Diary, So, I deal with stress by writing. I put my head down and feverishly comb through old rough drafts and outlines, then, when I find something that strikes a chord in me, bleed onto the keyboard for the next couple of hours. Or, in days like today, eight. I accomplished a lot of…
Read MoreStressed
Dear Diary, This has been almost the exact opposite of what I like my Sundays to be: busy, stressful, and entirely too short. I don’t want to go into too much detail here, but… Life can really pull the rug out from you sometimes, you know? Luckily, I have friends I can go to –…
Read MoreBraindead
Dear Diary, Busy busy busy busy busy… Absolutely nothing entertaining happened today. All I did was author things. All. Fricking. Day. I did this because during the weekend I try and give myself a break from writing-related things, so I wanted to get as much done as I could. The result? Well. I finished the…
Read MoreGetting ahead of myself
Dear Diary, So, I have this book I’m writing, The Siren’s Song, about an orphan named Arielle that grew up with strange gifts. She lives in a small town very few people know about and is growing tired and frustrated with not only her loneliness but with her body’s unquenched yearnings. She decides to use…
Read MoreLap dancing in public – or, how I almost got kicked out of a restaurant 😏
Dear Diary, This day did not go as planned. I did manage to finish the rough draft of The Siren’s Song (which took way longer than I anticipated – you can read it here https://buff.ly/2KwjRTN if you want), and I figured I’d just wait until the bestie got off work and get picked up by…
