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

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

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). . . . . .
