Tarot Tuesday
The World was a jumper today… and I got two larger-than-average orders on my Etsy shop, so I’m definitely feeling a sense of achievement. Although it’s not much, the shop has almost doubled it’s 2021 income, despite the fact that it was open for 9 months last year, and we’re only 7 months into 2022.…

Weekly Progress
This week’s goalpost was pretty mobile, but I feel like I got there (mostly). No new content, but I did go exploring in Scrivener, got the WIP uploaded and split into sections, and moved some things around. Now that it’s all in the app, it’s pretty easy to drag a section that doesn’t work into…

From the ‘Grams…
Crazy busy, so I’ve only managed to finish the intro, but I can already tell I’m going to be rereading with a highlighter. Engaging, interesting, relatable, informative… it’s just good writing. It might be a form of procrastinating, but I finally loaded my WIP into @scrivenerapp. The various options for tutorials are awesome. I love that…

Tarot Tuesday
This week continues to be insane, so I went ahead and pulled the six card spread. Priority this week: 3 of Pentacles Yes. Definitely. So much teamwork and shared goals. I have family visiting, and we’re alternating zone defense with one-on-one to keep the kids moving. Mental state: 8 of Swords Yes. Super frustrated and…

Weekly Goals
I had an unexpectedly productive week last week… over 4000 words added since my last #wordcountupdate. I also filled in a gap in the story, and made chapter five flow better into chapter six (half of chapter six is now chapter 10…). So, for this week I need to figure out how all the changes…

Progress Check
I didn’t get the old chapter 6 revised into the new chapter 8. I did write 6.5 new pages to go before it though, and that’s a different (better?) win than achieving this week’s actual goal. It is another talky chapter though, so I’m going to try and add an action sequence of some kind…

Scribbler Unboxing
Scribbler mail! This month’s @goscribbler box focuses on author branding, using #sariahwilson and her #cindernanny as an example. Filled with lots of fun goodies (the kids especially liked the apple puffs… which are upside down in the pics because the bag popped in transit 😕). I did have to look up what “stet” means. I…

What I’m Reading
Surprise book mail is the best mail. I preordered this book a while back and forgot to check the shipping date, so it was an excellent surprise to find on my doorstep when I came back from the swim meet yesterday. From the description:In A Spell in the Wild, Alice Tarbuck explores what it means…

Tarot Tuesday
I knew I was up for an interesting week when I pulled the vibes spread yesterday (10 of Cups, Page of Wands, Death, 6 of Wands, Magician). Today’s spread was the Page of Pentacles (new opportunities, skill development), 3 of Pentacles (teamwork, progress), and 9 of Cups (contentment). The 8 of Cups was a jumper…

Weekly Goals
I’m working on revising the new chapter 6 and 7, so that should be done by Wednesday. Then, I’m going to try and reform the old chapter 6 into a new chapter 8 that can be submitted to my critique group by Sunday. This might be overreaching. But if you don’t reach for the stars,…
