More like tired bee. Anyone else pushing it these days? Raise your hand if there aren't enough hours in the day to get it all done but you keep trying anyway 🖐

So much editing. My motivation to crank this out has dwindled as my mind wanders to new stories I want to write.

Putting together concept art for the Sour Moon cover is so much more fun than editing! I'm also really happy with my cover artist, Book Covers Art by Ivan who is not on IG but he is on FB. I send him a long email with all the details I want. I know below looks like a moon over a dark city but when he's through with it you're going to see a waxing skull reflecting in the harbor with a blacked-out city in turmoil as the backdrop. It will be fun to show an actual night sky in a city format because cities are usually too bright for stars. Mix in an apocalypse and presto! A stary sky over the city.

When someone says I do well with writing dialog, the arguments I have in my head finally start to pay off. We all talk to ourselves, right? Being an author let's me bring life to these special voices. In a totally healthy kind of way 🤔😉

Getting prepped for edits and I'm rather unexpectedly pumped about it. Reading my handwriting when it's been scribbled in a hurry is something else though 🤔

It's done. Drafted. The more I write the faster this process becomes. Four months for this book, and it's my forth drafted full length novel. The first one took three years!
