Keely's Way: 8/19/2024
Onwards and upwards!
My birthday week was highly enjoyable, and wrapped up with a delicious steak luncheon prepared by my dear friend Kim McShane. I’m 55 years old now, and wow, that’s amazing. The past five years have been difficult, not just for me personally but for all of us. However, I’m ready to level up the next five years! Let’s all make a better world every day!
Weekly Roundup
There’s an App for That: Productivity Tools for Neurodivergent Creatives: I’ve worked with neurodivergent people for over 10 years, first as the accessible technology coordinator in a large university and nowadays as a productivity coach for writers. I’ve come across a lot of tools and apps over that time, and here is a list of the ones I think are the most helpful for a wide variety of creatives!
Become an Unstoppable Storyteller is 1 year old!: WOW! Hard to believe that a little over a year ago, I published a book on writing serials that literally changed my life. Through it, I’ve met so many wonderful writers and guested on a lot of great podcasts! If you are interested in writing a serialized story, this is a great guide (if I do say so myself!) on how to do that!
The Lost City (Dragon’s Grail Arc 2): Episode 6: “An Odd Place to Collect Water” is up! (This is being updated weekly!) The strange city starts to reveal its secrets!
The Bastards of Yumeng continues with Chapter 10! This fanfiction is a WIP and is in the 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) / 魔道祖师-墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù fandom. The Bastards of Yunmeng is all about the three kids of the Yunmeng Jiang sect after they get thrown out into the streets as children.
Support KimBoo & Keely!
I’m getting by, but it’s still a struggle. There are lots of ways to pitch in:
If you can, buy a subscription to The Scriptorium!
My ‘zon wishlist for dry-goods and household stuff! (This would be SUPER HELPFUL!)
Direct financial support can be given via my My GoFundMe campaign, my ko-fi page, or even paypal.
Thank you so much for the support so many of you have already given me!
Writing
This past week was mostly about Doing The Thing. Writing on Transmigrated Teri was more about re-writing earlier scenes now that I have found Teri’s true voice as a character, which was actually fun.
I need to get back to editing the third arc of Dragon’s Grail and continue writing my next non-fiction writing craft book, Out from Fanfiction which, I just now realize, needs a subtitle. Hmmm….
It’s a Keely-Boo World
We’re still Diaper Nation in these parts, but she’s gotten used to them now and doesn’t walk around like she’s suffering an eternal wedgie! 😂 We’ve managed to stay out of the heat, which has gotten up to 110°F heat index levels here of late. There was one delightful morning that clocked in at only 71°F, which we enjoyed immensely! But mostly we stay indoors and avoid the daystar whenever possible…
