Girl let me tell you I have 3 kids a 4 year old and a set of twins. I said when I was pregnant with my first how I wasn’t gone let her see my phone or get an iPad. But when you actually have your baby it will be different especially if you plane or having a road trip. A lot of kids thrive on the iPads just making sure you practice moderation.

My grocery list each time for the past 3 weeks has been: bread, mayo, cheese, chicken strips (or chicken burgers) and whatever beverages are on sale. Someone gifted me green onion so now the sandwiches have a bit of variety, and I do technically have a bag of antioxidant berries in the freezer which I constantly forget is there. A recipe I hoped to have the budget for, and maybe you can try it and let me know how it tastes: a really big fish (the kind that would feed 2 people) and you slice a bunch of tomatoes, you dice a bunch of cauliflower, you pan-fry the tomato and cauliflower with some olive oil, add mango-ginger (or maybe paprika or cayenne if you want more kick), you layer that veggie fry onto the fish once it's cooked, if it still needs some twang you sprinkle green olive slices on top, and have a sour cream dip ready on the side. There are ways we could get crazier with the recipe, but let's start small. Listeria is a bad way to go. So thank you for not drinking the other 10% of that milk. We want you to stay alive. "Silence the editor in me" is, in the context of a NaNo, one of the most ambitious goals I've ever seen. Writing brain and editing brain are such disparate forces, aren't they? Hard drives are indeed the salvation of post-production, and I all but begged my colleague Jeremy to invest in one when we had a film company. But he assumed his Windows 10 could hold all our footage without the post process moving like molasses. He assumed wrong. (LOL. Live and learn.) I remember that sprint stream with Lynn and Kris. :) That was fun. Sounds like your process is moving right along. I'll try not to be 5 days late the next time catching up with you.

I recently started using my Kindle more because I began reading When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker. The physical book is huge, so reading with the Kindle makes me feel like I'm reading faster. You can also change the settings to not show you the stats at all. It is nice not seeing the page number since that can make the reading process a bit harder for me. Especially with these books that are as big as bricks!

I will not be participating in camp nano this year, but I will hopefully keep writing. I haven't written in a few weeks, unfortunately because I'm in the editing stage of my most complete novel idea (even though I haven’t edited either, lol), but I hope to change that today by watching writing vlogs to get me inspired! I will not be participating in camp nano this year, but I will hopefully keep writing. I haven't written in a few weeks, unfortunately because I'm in the editing stage of my most complete novel idea (even though I haven’t edited either, lol), but I hope to change that today by watching writing vlogs to get me inspired, and yours are always so upbeat. I really do believe in what you said about the first draft, that it’s telling yourself a story. And then you edit to tell others the story. I believe I saw it put that way by some famous writer, but it just encapsulated what I already believed. I'm glad you've worked through your writer’s block! When I write new words, I normally put the last sentence in brackets so that I don't delete them but can go in a different direction by pretending that doesn't exist, and that normally works for me (sorry for the unsolicited advice, lol). My last draft I had to rearrange chapters but I never re-numbered them, so now the chapters are normal for like the first 17, then it jumps to like 31 or something, it's so funny to look at honestly. I also use romancing the beat! I'm not using it for this one because it's more mystery/thriller than romance (even though there is a romance in it), but I'm using it for my (you guessed it) romance novel I haven't finished yet. I like what you said about romance characters not hating each other for crossing some line, but for misunderstandings and false impressions of personalities, I feel like that requires not as much suspension of disbelief to read than full-on hating each other. I'm honestly terrible at outlining, but there are some stories that just need it, like a far in the future project. This one needs more of one, because it's a mystery and needs like, a lot of structure and clues to keep track of. I personally vote for the scrivener set up video! I'm brand new to the software and I feel like I'm not using it to its full potential. I like that you end writing sessions when you're happy with the work, I really should do that. I've been experimenting lately, seeing what point I start to lose interest- be it time or word count- and trying to stop before that so I don't see it as a chore. Thanks for the vlog!
