Instead of #writing, I took most of the day improving this cheap (I got what I paid for made in Denmark) desk. Hope it will last until I can make a new one for my son. #woodworking

On my 5th round of edits; I don't know how, but it takes 2 hrs to edit a chapter in my murder mystery; funny thing is that I don't even notice the time. 44 chapters, 101k. Aiming for 98k. 70 hrs to go. #WritingCommunity

My 8th attempt at a synopsis for my 96k murder mystery. Every time I start, I'd stop because it got too long. This time, I made it to the end, 3 hrs, 11.3 pages later, I have a draft. #WritingCommunity #amquerying and yes, I write in me garage, next to me zero turn.

15 tries, 20 hrs of writing, and 50 hr of thinking later, finished my synposis, ~600 words. All I did was watch a 10 min vid and wrote it in an hr. Punctuated equlibrium or quantization of life? #WritingCommmunity

I started writing 3/2023. 18 on/off months, 6 drafts, and many rewrites later. My 94k murder mystery love story, The Belvedere Club, went out to its 1st beta reader. #WritingCommunity #amquerying soon.

In 1947, gold was $43 an oz. Today, it's $2700ish. $12.5 is ~$800 in today's $$. I wish people understood inflation.
