Wheeee! Back from the editor! Now I just have to force myself to do a straight read-through without a pen in my hand. .

So my step father was very strict and I couldn’t go to movies when I was young. When the sequel to Star Wars (A New Hope) hit the theaters I knew I wouldn’t be able to go. So I bought the book version. : Yes, I know. But I was 13 and who cared? I wasn’t gonna see the movie until I was probably 85. : Finished it and … talk about special interest. I was obsessed. I bought every trading card they had; I bought every book that was out at the time. : Then I said to myself, “Self. B*tch, you could do this. You could make a story like this. In fact…” : Grabbed a chair and confiscated my mother little Royal Mercury. Got her to buy me some onion skin paper (you could erase it), and was off. : Fifty-two pages later (single-spaced thanks) and I had written the next great sci-fi novel. : Don’t. Just don’t say it. : Anywaythreeyearslateriwasdevouringfantasynovelslikehostesscupcakesandhereweare. : By the way: I found this on eBay. I’m thinking I want to buy it. Maybe I’ll write Book Two on it. . . . . #Writing #Keshkin #writerscommunity #yeshvara #writerlife #writerslife #thesundering #writercommunity #sonofashes #kingdomofsaltandblood #kosab #wingsofJericho #authorofcolor #blackinkalchemy #writersofinstagram #instawriter #blackwriters #diversityinfiction #characters #writersofig #lgbtauthors #writingcommunity #quotes #writersnetwork #authorssupportingauthors (at Westborough, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSGEOxnrF3E/?utm_medium=tumblr

So, if your character/s are gonna make your readers turn up a lip, have them save a cat. . I started reading this a couple weeks ago, but didn’t have note taking supplies nearby. No, I’ve never been able to actually WRITE in a book, and my sticky notes were elsewhere. So I’m kind of starting over, using #SonOfAshes as the project. . I do have a “plot” sketched out; and the main character is set, but I want to see how this method will help me and keep me from spending another few decades writing one book🤦🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️🤫 . So now I’ve got time blocked off and my stickies are ready. Wish me luck. (at Westborough, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXQsS5Aof9/?igshid=1gyd0vtrz9u

So, the question was “How do you draft?” And for a while, I just grabbed my laptop and went off. . I’m working now, so I have two small opportunities to write during most days. : I NEED to get a move on, so I went into the way back machine and pulled out an old technique I used back when I was a teen writer. There were no desktops or laptops, and even if there were we couldn’t afford them, so I would buy the old black and white composition books, grab my @paper_mate Profile pen (if you know, you know—god I want it back) and just wrote. : Since they no longer make that beautiful, wonderful pen 😭😭😭 I got myself the next best thing—a fountain pen. : With pink ink. : I’m also eyeballing an old Royal typewriter on eBay. : Wish my crazy a$$ luck. . . . . . #Writing #Keshkin #writerscommunity #yeshvara #writerlife #writerslife #thesundering #writercommunity #sonofashes #kingdomofsaltandblood #kosab #wingsofJericho #authorofcolor #blackinkalchemy #writersofinstagram #instawriter #blackwriters #diversityinfiction #characters #writersofig #lgbtauthors #writingcommunity #analogauthors #writersnetwork (at Westborough, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmQT0oLLdd/?utm_medium=tumblr

While not necessarily “wacky”, there are a few characters hanging around both WIPs that make life interesting. . As for Dr Seuss’ birthday? I’m just going to let the rest of social media have at that subject. . . . . The #FantasyWIPMarch is hosted by @sydneybookshelf, @aldarathomas_writes and @samanthawritesbooks.

Honestly, I’m writing. I might not have put too much pen to paper, but my mind is percolating like crazy. . Never been one to do “brain dumps”. I think it’s from my working days, but I’m able to hang on to ideas, “notes” and even dialogue in my brain for a long time before I get around to writing it down. I’d flip out occasionally at work and scribble stuff down, but for the most part, I’m just going through a full scene over and over. . Yeah, I know I look crazy some times, but it’s how it works for this plantser. 🤣 . . . #sonofashes #kingdomofsaltandblood #writers community #writerlife #writerslife #thesundering #writercommunity #authorofcolor #wordporn #writersofinstagram #writersofindia #instawriter #bkackwriters #writerofinstagram #writersoninstagram #writing #writers #writersblock #life #diversityinya #characters #writersofig #lgbtauthors #writingcommunity #art #quotes #writersnetwork #words #authorssupportingauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjoYsiA7af/?igshid=102425d2lop2r

Here that sound? That’s my brain now that #Keshkin has gone to my editor for the first time. . It’s like the first day of Kindergarten. All my MCs are like “We’re out, B!” And I’m like 🤪🙃😭😳. . Ah, well. Just means I made a little room for the miscreants in #SonOfAshes (Rion, I AM looking at you). . . . . .
