I've seen a few people posting stuff along the lines of "2026 is the year I'm going to read more!" My friend, don't pressure yourself. Even as an author, I say this: Read better, not more. Read what you love, stop reading something that isn't working for you. Don't aim for more, aim for pleasure.

Received the feedback from my beta reader for the Historian Assistant. Thanks Gaby. Lots of good stuff in her feedback. I’m picking through it and then It’s back to editing. See how fast I can get through it. Remember: Writing is rewriting. #writingcommunity

I finished up my edits on my manuscript. The Historian Assistant YA/Sci-fi 98,845 Words. My Beta reader has me penciled in for end of April. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky #Writers #WritersLife #SciFi #writerslift #WIP #goals #YoungAdult #YouthFiction #YouthReaders #WritingGoals
Just finished going through chapter six where the MC, Eileen, learns to fly the ship. It reads like crap. The pacing is wrong, not enough internal dialogue. Missing the motivation of why she has so much riding on this and the conflict of why the historian wants this. Well, time for a rewrite 😐
Just finished my edit run on the Historian Assistant. Now at 97K words. I’m going to go through it with ProWritinfAid and see what it finds. But I may give myself a few days break before diving in again. #writingcommunity
