youtu.be/E44zug9OevE Excited to finally share this!! 😀
I read the opening pages from my #MiddleGrade #SciFi novel, Jonesy Flux and the Gray Legion, and talk a bit about where the story came from.

Let's make Bowden great again. I've been at this design for 15 months and finally released it over the weekend! #3DPrinting #3dprinter
If you like print quality instead of stupid speed, I also did this printing thing youtu.be/dPPfsjYXZdI
And if you like watching car accidents, this comp of the ones that didn't work is worth a giggle youtu.be/pPZ99gGqMZo
I took a little printer break between books 😁

No writing advice is absolute (not even this writing advice), but "Write every day" is one of the more helpful ones, when you can manage it.
Combining that with staying offline and time off got me the last 20k in 4 days this week 🥳
2nd book down, 2 to go...

I just realized that when trees drop their leaves in Fall, they're trying to murder all other plant life around them to make room for their babies 😲
I'm tired and the rest of my family is sick, but I just wrapped a first draft that I started less than four weeks ago. Booya! 🤘
Could have just about been my first nanowrimo if I hadn't started in October, but oh well.
Now to knock out the next three 😮

There is no feeling like the feeling of getting a little ways into a new writing project, finding out it's not exactly what you expected, and realizing that what it is instead is better.
Dang I missed this. It's been a long couple years, ya'll.
Taking Workplace Violence training while working remote feels weird. Taking it while eating a slice of my 4-y/o's hypersprinkle'd birthday cake and listening to my 6-y/o screaming feels ... creepy, tbh. Creepy with sprinkles 😧
Me: I designed and #3dprinted a powerful regenerative compressor!
Everybody else: Why does it sound like a jet engine 😫
Me: Why would that be a bad thing 🤔youtu.be/YhsYaHobx-4

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
#AuthorsOfTwitter I'm working up a series concept and thinking about how to structure character arcs over multiple books - especially for heroes who can stay flawed up to the series's endgame.
So here's my first-cut outline. Anything you'd do differently?
