BIG NEWS - I’m this week’s featured writer at Black Thoughts Editorial Services, yay go me! If you are a fellow writer you won’t find better-skilled service 🤩

Oh, and my apologies for the unannounced hiatus! Life has been really unstable lately what with hubby looking for work (since March) and me just trying to cling to the one contract job, that I love, but which I’ve had for the last three months (and the three months before that, and so on back to November - it’s kinda nutty 😅, but I’m hanging in there!). 

The good news is: I am back!

I can’t promise that I will maintain weekly, or even regular updates here, but I will do my best - my main focus is on the writing (I mean really, who cares about the author anyways? 😂)

Output - What I’m Writing

The Destroyer - I started it over because I was not happy with how it was wandering around in search of a purpose, but now I am over 10,000 words into a much better story, which makes me much happier ✍️😁

Snapshot of progress on The Destroyer:

Status of Works

  • Gem Finder - is like that practice piece I wish I could throw away, but I still love it, so it awaits my revisions 🫠

  • Ancient History - back from the editor who fecking loves it (with two, only two, minor changes to make), so I am already shopping around for a market 📑

  • Star Augur - still simmering away on the back burner 😌

Input - What I’m reading, watching, listening to, etc.

Currently Reading:

Watching:

Lancer and I have been rotating among fewer shows, one season at a time. The current rotation is:

  • Suits (on season 8 of 9) 💼

  • Vampire Diaries (ended season 5 of 8) 🧛

And then what we call dum-dums like Young Sheldon, Benidorm, The Office, and Modern Family to take a break from the serious drama llamas 😂.

Coming up…

Working to pay the bills, and then writing, oh and of course and chores, errands, etc., etc., etc.

Cheers,

~Liriel
