Hey all! I'll be teaching a workshop called "Intelligent Design" which is a guide to building order behind every scene in your novel or screenplay. This will be at the @writingawayrefuge January Virtual Retreat. There aren't many spots left, so lock it in! www.writingawayrefuge.com/copy-of-writ...

Breakfast in good company.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process. For $250. For her classroom…

Reminder to back up your work. Your whole computer, if you can, but especially your creative work—in at least two places, one in the cloud or off-site. Trust me, nobody wants to lose months of work. Back ups save you!

Hope you’re all snuggled in on this lovely #Caturday.

Good morning #writers! Did some sprinting and managed to get 3,306 words in my project! And now I’ve got a good idea where the story is heading. My poor characters don’t know what’s coming … 🫣 Anyone else #writing today? #amwriting #writingcommunity

I'm sorry, I can't finish writing my 1000 words today. I'm rubbing the Strudel-kitty's belly....

I opened this thinking it must be satire. Alas... I kept thinking of a scene in the film THX-1138, where our protagonist goes to an automated therapist, or the movie Sleeper, where after therapy the machine spits out a carnival prize.
