In this #gig economy, even demons needed a side hustle. The one as BBQ chef at a local restaurant didn’t quite work out—unfortunately, people wanted their steak less charred, more bloody. Mortals just didn’t live up to hellish standards. He had found his calling, however. Nothing quite like drafting insurance contracts that cost humans an arm, a leg, and possibly their soul.

Anyone could dance like a #maniac. Now, ritual cleansings…those required a lot more skill to be considered maniacal. One had to rattle off the words while running around the house with sage in one hand and the cup of chamomile tea in the other.

I achieved my goal for #nanowrimo with one hour to spare. 50k words of my manuscript edited (and many thousands more written and rewritten and rejected and rewritten)!
Excuse me while I do a celebratory jig!

Such a lovely change from my usual imposter syndrome.

Today’s #writingresearch : were Egyptian temples guarded? What was the typical lay-out? Where and how did the priests and priestesses live?
Did you know #campfire has a great tool to store your research and link them to any other element you have in the app (including other research stubs, locations, characters or elements on your book’s timeline)?
