I've been working on the outline for Book 2 in the Woods Bay series. I'm not used to outlining but after spending so much time on editing and rewriting Small Town Slasher I know it's needed. It's just not something that comes natural to me. I love brainstorming ideas and tucking certain ones away for future books. It's challenging. I hope to not put too many things in one book, subplots, locations, characters, etc. With the shit show that is America right now it's challenging to want to write.

Part of me just wants to consume media. Books. Shows. Movies. Games. Old. New. Mostly filled with nostalgia and comfort. So I meet in the middle. I have been working on my outline a few hours every day. Tinkering with it. It's challenging to focus but I'm doing my best. I definitely feel like I'm dragging my depression around some days like a piece of tiny piece of tape you can't get off of your finger. Or like Clark in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where he can't get the sap off of his fingers when he's reading a magazine in bed.

See I can't even write a post without referencing something. Some authors I know don't read or watch much while others do and I find it fascinating. As a child of the 80s I didn't have a lot of money so we would rent movies and watch tv between riding around on our bikes or going to the mall. Now that I'm disabled I enjoy media because it's the one way I can travel in our world or fictional ones.

What media have you found comfort in recently?
