Day 7 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust Mental health isn't a major theme, but Oliver experiences a dark curse and torture. Part of his journey is overcoming that trauma and moving forward despite the lingering pain and fears.

I found a bakery near me - yes, IN TEXAS - that specializes in SCONES! Real ones. Not that fake crap from Kroger. I’m splurging on some as soon as I’m done proofreading this book!!

Day 8 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust Dreams and goals: Short-term ~ FINISH THIS BOOK! UGGHHH! Long-term ~ I don't want to be famous, but it would be nice to make at least a part-time income with my books. To have an Amazon best-seller maybe! That would be cool.

Another round of editing is complete.

I keep going back to change things! 😭😭😭

Day 10 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust Tagline for Traitorous Tides: Josephine and Nathaniel will make the hardest choices of their lives in order to save Oliver, the crew, and above all … their future together. (I haven't spent much time developing this)

I just sent my final draft to be formatted. This is happening.

Day 11 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust Favorite Fairy Tale? Movie: Maleficent Book: Forest of Dreams and Whispers (by Katherine Macdonald ) Oh! Both Sleeping Beauty retellings…I guess that tracks. I always loved Sleeping Beauty when I was a kid!

I have watched both The Walking Dead and now the first season of Fear the Walking Dead. I'm not sure what's scarier ... the stepping into a world of walkers after waking up from a coma ... or the government coming to "help."

Our sweet Moo. I miss your shenanigans, buddy. 🥺😭 Wish I could still have cuddles with you. 💔💔💔

Day 13 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust I prefer to read e-books because it's convenient. I can read anywhere, even if it's dark. I'm trying to get back to hard copies now that I have real prescription glasses and I'm not blind! 😅🤓

Day 14 ~ #FantasyIndiesAugust Does romance feature in my WIP? Not the featured storyline, but it is a subplot of the series! Lots of slow burn, pining, and "hate-to-love" going on throughout! 😍💕💘💋
