Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
From saving Nova Team, to becoming planetary leaders, the women of the Celestial Saga keep the galaxy spinning as intended.
Without Jennifer Richards and Kameron Reed, these books would be a lot shorter and there would be no Milky Way Galaxy.

Did some planning this morning. After thinking about an event I had planned towards the end of Project Sunrise Part II, I have decided to move it up to the chapter I am working on now.
It makes much more sense for the tone of the story. #amwriting

In January I sold one book.
In February I sold two books.
Does that mean in March I will sell three books?

I took a three day weekend and I am already feeling a bit better. I'm ready to jump back into writing starting tomorrow! Although I will be taking it a bit slow to ensure that I don't overdue it.

Unfortunately, I did not reach my writing goal for the month of February. Stuff happening at work left me severely burnt out and I am still recovering from that. I attempted to power through the burn out on a few occasions throughout the month and that only left me feeling worse. π§΅

PokΓ©mon has been a huge part of my life ever since I first discovered the anime on a random Saturday morning in 98 or 99.
I am beyond excited for a PokΓ©mon themed trivia tonight at my friend's barcade in honor of the 30th anniversary! #Pokemon

Closing out the weekend by starting the first round of developmental edits for Project Valentine.
As my first non-Celestial Saga book that I will be releasing, it's a lot of fun to work on! Reading through the first three chapters reminded me how much fun I had writing it. #amwriting

Did a little writing tonight as I added some extra content to Project Sunrise Part I.
That's the good thing about a book being over a year from release, plenty of time to add to it. #amwriting

For dinner tonight I made steak bites, sauteed bell peppers and onion, and cheesy potato medallions.
For dessert, an apple baked with brown sugar and cinnamon, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
