Weekly Goals
Now that I’ve revised all the chapters that are chapters… this week’s goals are going to have to be a little different. Currently the plan is to work through the next 3-5 Vella episodes and try to create two new chapters out of them. This seems doable because I drafted 3-ish episodes a week, if…

Progress Check
Daily writing sprints… are hard, man. I cannot keep to a schedule. Writing is not happening during its allotted time. Luckily, I remembered that I wrote the first 30,000 words of this thing on a phone, in front of a tv, so apparently, butt-in-chair time is not 100% necessary. I did get writing done almost…

Shopping Local
Got some new pretties at #aquarianbookshop this week! It’s so much fun to go there and eavesdrop 😉 The employees are all very kind, knowledgeable, and super nerdy about the things they sell. This grid also includes some older stones from #secretrootsllc and #packardsstampandrockshop, both of which are small, family-friendly businesses with knowledgeable staff. We’re…

Tarot Tuesday
This week I tried a spread from A Witch Alone. 1) This week’s lesson is the Seven of Pentacles – long-term value, perseverance. Not to be bratty, but the slow-and-steady messages are getting old. 2) This week’s obstacle is the Ten of Wands – an extra burden, more responsibility. So… the obstacle is obstacles. 3)…

Weekly Goals and Stuff
This week, I’m still going to try and aim for 2-3 sprints a day, but I’m also going to try and start revising specific blocks of the manuscript per week. I’ve rewritten through chapter 3 at least twice. I revised the first two chapters with peer critiques. I’m hoping that having a concrete target for…

Progress Check
So. State of Things… As predicted, super busy, over-planned… didn’t write everyday. BUT, the days I did write, I made some pretty significant revisions, and overall am up almost 4,000 words (despite cuts). I did post a chapter and get feedback. Again, so, so helpful #lucky I gave feedback on all of my group’s posted chapters…

Raising a Reader
Us: Kiddo, if you don’t eat your dinner, you can’t have dessert. Kid: That’s ok, I’m full. (Goes to bed having eaten… maybe two bites) Us (one week later): Kiddo, we got you this new book series you wanted. You can keep reading it as long as you eat the healthy food that has been…

What I’m Reading Wednesday
A witchy stack. Yes, I am still using the Planner for a Magical 2021 as a reference text. I fell off the wagon last year, and didn’t really use it for its intended purpose, but there is so much useful info in there about the wheel of the year, correspondences, traditions, and ritual ideas. Definitely helpful in…

Tarot Tuesday
I asked if I had resolved that seven of swords situation from yesterday, and got the Queen of Swords. I’m taking that as a yes, since she’s all about truth and logic. (Did you know sage is in the mint family? It fooled me!) Today’s three-card spread is the Five of Pentacles, the Sun and…
