Hmmm I don’t know! I asked but haven’t gotten permission to share references yet

Cute chibi drawings ❤️

The red western huckleberry in flower! Out walking my dog. Today I feel a little behind

Omg look at the kitty cat ❤️

It is terrible, isn't it, what I have to put up with. Just terrible...

Sometimes she chirps too

And look at this feedsack dress! So pretty--wrong era, but still. I'd wear it!

This little monster just chewed through my headphones cable. She feels very strongly that hands are for putting cats, not typing. (Yes, it is the 3rd in 3 mo and now I will finally buy Bluetooth)

I dropped this in the 7B and SCV QA chats. :)

Of course! And don’t worry about it! I wasn’t writing much today, just doing other catch up tasks :)

If anyone was wondering about Alan’s bouquet!

Thank you! Got it in on Wednesday. Today has been catch-up, tomorrow I gotta add emotions, list and describe assets, and being drafting episode 15!

I replied! But I can't see it here--hope you can? If not I can repost

Yes, of course!

Sometimes, "perfection" is the enemy of "done"--as they say. I wish I could I could go for a 5th or 6th revision or rewrite, esp. after I'm further along in the book. I always think of modifications I could've made to released chapters that'd improve the current scene. But that's writing a serial!

So I'd say for the harder scenes, at least 3 or 4 times rewriting it is normal for me. I cut, rearrange, sometimes re-draft. But usually time prohibits me from going too far or modifying too much. It's a serial, and I need to deliver chapters on time...

And then there's the scene I've been working on this week. I have a tough time with some subjects. So I've rewritten this one 3 or 4 times. Thought about a 5th rewrite, but the line count would explode, it'd get too long. I tinkered with it today.

For other scenes, ones that trouble me or are tougher or trickier, I leave them and I write out of order. Sometimes just giving myself time to think, taking a walk, weeding the garden, can help me find that line that'll pin the scene together...

It depends! Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to write a scene and have that "yes" feeling. It emerges right on the first draft, each word slotting into place like a key, and it just works, like a little machine. Other times... not so much.

Sometimes, some romantic scenes are so difficult that I just write my way in circles around them all around the episode until every last bit is done until I have only one bit left to write and it's that bit...

Yay! <3

Honestly I am so happy to hear that ☺️

I love that! ❤️

Maybe sometime I will try hydroponics though! :)

Nah, normally I grow my lettuces outside fine... I think the issue with some of the rarer lettuces I was trying was a.) climate, as I live in PNW and b.) the supplier, as I was buying from Baker Seeds... mixed germination rates, and I don't buy from them now cuz politics...

What do you think? What songs/lyrics remind you of SCV's love lines?
