A commute podcast today as I emerge from sparkling isolation and run actual errands! Reports on social distancing in Santa Fe and the line to get into Trader Joe's - and doing my own hair. Eep!

I have book brain, deep into finishing THE PROMISED QUEEN. I'm also mulling next projects and welcoming votes on that. And how I don't want to buy clothes if I have nowhere to wear them...

Thoughts on giving feedback to audio book narrators, springtime gardening, and how odd people are about giving reading recommendations. Also, a spoilery rant on a book that Disappointed me.

Real Information on Author Finances

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is again eerily timely. We’re talking writer finances. How do you budget for uneven income? What’s your biggest expense?

With so many people struggling financially due to the #COVID19 shutdowns, managing money is heavy on many people’s minds. It’s odd to find myself well-equipped to deal with this because – as a full-time writer with no other income and with a non-salaried spouse who does not provide me with health insurance – I am always juggling the financial balls. Come on over to learn more!

My mind keeps replaying scenes from Fun Things I Used to Do, which is interesting. I'm also musing on how much of my social stimulation used to come from going to conventions.

My brain is sunk deep in revising The Promised Queen, with help from the dreamthink. I also received my beautiful poster of the cover of The Fiery Crown.

Head Full of Dreamthink

Always good to find a nice little den, huh?

My head is totally wrapped up with finishing THE PROMISED QUEEN. I’m revising now, and am on page 151 of 368 (so far). I still have to finish out the last few chapters, and I’m guessing the book will end up being somewhere around 118K (~430 pages). It’s due next Wednesday, so I think I should be in good shape to turn it in on time. Or *maybe* a day or two late. That’s usually not a problem, but we’ll see.

Normally I’d write a blog post today, but several ideas for the book came to me this morning in the Dreamthink and I’m itching to write those, not anything else.

Hope you all are finding a good port in the storm like Jackson has!
