Happy Friday, friends and bookworms! 😊
.
@witchy.reads tagged me for #flowerpower, but since there's not much happening in my garden these fake ones will have to do 🙈
.
It's been a mostly productive week here. I believe I aced my job interview yesterday - thank you to everyone who wished me luck and asked me how it went! I have to wait roughly one week to hear back 🖤 - and I made good progress on my editing jobs.
.
My own books fell short again, but I did make some progress and am reminding myself that I'm working towards more time for my own stories.
.
Now I've got some more editing to do and then I'll gladly hop into my weekend ☺️
.
That pretty much sums up my week! No list necessary this time 😅
.
QOTD:
.
What have you achieved this week? What are your plans for the weekend? 😊

Just a quick one this morning because I need to get ready for my job interview 💪
.
This is Sam, the neighbour's cat, with my 'current read' - the quotation marks are there because I'm not really actively reading it, just whenever I feel like it 😬
.
The picture is a few weeks old, but I already had it so it's quick 😁
.
As I make my way into town for the interview and back home again, I'll listen to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Should finish it this week 😊
.
QOTD:
.
What are you reading at the moment? 🖤

I saw the #mywritingspace tag on @jamesfahyauthor 's post yesterday and decided to hop on board ☺️
.
This is where I write, edit, and sometimes plot, though I prefer to move to the sofa for all plotting that doesn't happen while I shower or clean the house.
.
On my desk, you'll find chocolate inside the drawer for difficult days, all my current notebooks, my favourite books on the craft, some research material, a strong tea, at least one candle, my most recent NaNo certificate, and fairy lights to make everything I work on more magical 🥰
.
Not tagging anyone, but just steal it like I did if you want to show off your space! 🖤
.
QOTD:
.
What's your favourite thing on your writing space (or other work space if you're not a writer)?

Happy #teatuesday, friends and bookworms! 😊
.
(Damn, I haven't done this tag in a while!)
.
I don't have much to report on my own books because I'm so focussed on my authors' books instead, but my first read-through of Brightened Shadows is slowly coming along. I hope to finish it before the month is over so I can start the First Big Edit 💪
.
Here's a little teaser:
.
'Maybe the walls were only meant to act as a familiar symbol to the spirits to make their passing easier. To Naavah Ora, they were a symbol too - one of impossible achievements and the forbidden dreams of an elven child who hadn't realised how different she was.'
.
QOTD:
.
What are you working on today? 🙌

(take 2, because my first caption didn't save 😑)
.
Happy Monday, friends and bookworms! 😊
.
I'm pleased to say that I'm FINALLY back to feeling like myself again! Time to power through edits and annihilate deadlines 💪 (this month, not this week *ahem*)
.
This week, I will:
.
✒️ do 100 pages of one author's developmental edit.
.
✒️ do 50 pages of another author's line edit.
.
✒️ ace my job interview on Thursday.
.
✒️ catch up with friends over dinner, also on Thursday.
.
✒️ get my bearings with my author blog and plan new content.
.
✒️ make progress on my read-through of Brightened Shadows.
.
✒️ start my kitchen herb garden.
.
And that will have to do ☺️ It may not look like much, but those edits take time!
.
QOTD:
.
What will you achieve this week? 🙌

Happy Friday, friends and bookworms! 🖤 How was your week? .
I'm a little later today because my sister called first thing 😊
.
After the challenges of the last two weeks, it took me a moment to find my feet this week, but I'm back in my routine now and making progress.
.
Although, I'll have to adjust my routine again if I get my job in the library back 😅 But I'll see about that when it happens.
.
I tore through most of my goals on Monday, which left me with my editing jobs for the rest of the week.
.
I won't bother summarising this week, because most of it was boring 😂 A lot of it was newsletter related, and the rest was editing jobs - which Word made 100% more frustrating by crashing, again, and losing all of Wednesday's progress 😒 Fortunately, it wasn't too much and I re-did it quickly enough.
.
Besides that, I've been doing some experimenting with BookBub ads and am really excited that I'm seeing results! It's not enough to make me rich yet, but it's an excellent start 😁
.
QOTD:
.
What have you achieved this week? Tell me one thing you accomplished! Pat yourself on the back!
.
(Oh, and happy Valentine's Day. We never do much, so it slips my mind 😂)

The ARC of @brianamorganbooks 's new baby arrived in my inbox yesterday, and I'm SO excited to start reading 🥰
.
I just finished Ninth House yesterday and started Hex Life, but that's an anthology. I can totally fit Livingston Girls between short stories 😁
.
I've waited for this ARC for MONTHS, friends and bookworms! The hype is real 😍
.
QOTD:
.
What's the last book you read that you were really hyped for? Did it live up to your expectations?

My feed has been getting a little too bright lately, so here's a beheaded porcelain rabbit (or whatever this jar is made off, I don't actually know) 😂
.
This broken candy jar accurately represents how I've been feeling these last two weeks, but #todayisagoodday because things are getting there and there's always a light in the darkness to lead me back home🖤
.
Though it may be the end for this jar. Remind me to check if I have glue. .
QOTD:
.
Let's spread some positivity! What are you grateful for today? ☺️

Rise of the Sparrows is now permanently FREE on Amazon, Kobo, Apple, B&N, and a few others 🥰
.
Thank you so much to everyone who told Amazon about the lower price last week 🖤 I asked for your help on Friday, and by Saturday afternoon Amazon had worked their magic 🎉
.
If you love dark epic fantasy, you might as well download it! It's not like it'll cost you anything, and who knows? Maybe you'll fall in love 😉
.
The universal book link is in my bio 🙌
.
'Prophecy brought them together, but who will it destroy?'
.
QOTD:
.
Have you downloaded it yet? 😁
