Sharptooth: 15

Repeat: If this isn’t your thing, please come back on 12/1. Quick refresher on National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo): Bang out a shitty 50,000 word first draft between 11/1 and 11/30. I'm posting as I write, mostly, so there are typos and inconsistencies. Between mother-work and work-work, I haven't written nearly as much as I … Continue reading Sharptooth: 15 →

Repeat: If this isn’t your thing, please come back on 12/1 (why yes, that is this coming Wednesday…). Today through Tuesday you might expect to see multiple posts each day. Again, read or don’t read. Quick refresher: National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Unlikely that I’ll get past 25,000 words before the deadline at this point, … Continue reading Sharptooth: 13 →

Side note: Today through Tuesday you might expect to see multiple posts each day. Again, read or don't read. Not sure … Continue reading Sharptooth: 10 →

Sharptooth: 9

So what happened over the past 7 days is this: Work-work and mother-work were more important than writing work. Also, I had a pop-up holiday market (the only one for 2021 holiday season) for Larksome Goods. Also: sleeping matters. It really does. So I worked, and I mothered, and I worked, and I slept, and … Continue reading Sharptooth: 9 →

Repeat: If this isn’t your thing, please come back on 12/1. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Bang out a 50,000 word (shitty) first draft in a month. It’s my 4th attempt. This time I’m free-writing in Word, copying and pasting here when I get a chunk finished, to put some pressure on myself to get … Continue reading Sharptooth: 8 →

What a beautiful day for some fun in the sun
I R-E-L-I-S-H Sunday morning time, reading, and fig season. More about all of that on jennyslark dot com (but not too much more, because it’s Sunday). Happy Sunday.
Sometimes it goes this way instead. #dontwannaplay
Thirty seconds earlier, before I swung my feet out of bed and stepped on the floor, they were snuggled tight, back to back, sound asleep.
We did a mother-daughter thing. Also: last day of early voting is today (Saturday, 7/30/22). Also: if you have a child heading to college in the fall, she/he/they must vote in person in this August election in order to qualify for absentee voting in November. #firsttimevoter #vote #votingmatters
Such a show off She is, particularly around the golden hour.
