Hmm. Do I leave this chapter extra long (average is 3-3.5k words, or do I cut it into two short chapters? I don’t really want to lose content and cut out 1000 words. And don’t judge my filthy screen. #amwriting #amediting #portalfantasy #fantasy #indieauthor

It’s kind of hard to write intense scenes when you’re below bright sky lights in the middle of the day. #amwriting #fantasy #portalfantasy #sunlight #mood #indieauthor

Managed 2400 words. Feeling really good about it. Please, can I have another couple of weeks of this to finish my draft? Roof was getting worked on. Cat kept me company. Now to do a few business things before finishing for the day. #amwriting #fantasy #portalfantasy #cat #indieauthor
*What to read???* I need to pick bits to read from Wayfarer's Rift, some short quotes and one bit 5-10 minutes long for author reading/marketing. Readers, do you have any suggestions? #Wayfarersrift #portalfantasy #fantasy #bookstagram #readers

Thank you Playford library for a fantastic afternoon at the author market. And thank you to all the new readers I met. It was really interesting to chat with you all. And somehow, I managed to pack all this down in 20 mins! #books #scifi #fantasy #indieauthor #market

If you see this, post your fictional mentor. My real life one is David Attenborough, but my fictional one is the Tom Baker Doctor Who.
I saw some great #dungeoncrawlercarl cosplays at @supanovaexpo Perth

When you have a large wrist, an event strap can slowly cut off the blood supply to your hand over a couple of days.
Day 1 Perth Supanova complete. I met so many amazing readers, had lots of chats, and of course also caught up with the other authors who were very welcoming. Time for some sugar and resting my feet, then out for dinner.
