When your copy of The Muppet Show record skips in the right place to cause never ending pain

I'm here. You're here. We all do the writing cheer. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Everything is impermanent. But that doesn't mean they aren't worth it. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Just saw three books featuring libraries and librarians in the weekly new book email. Are librarians having a moment? Are they cool? Am I cool? Chat, tell me I'm cool.

About to start reverse outlining my first draft so I can do my rewrite. That's the magic moment when writing starts to look good. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Discussing Muppets, Spice Girls, and Tacky the Penguin, what more could you want from a podcast?

We use the tools we have to get the job done. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Another morning. How can we do better? #5amwritersclub #amwriting

It's popular, I think, to be demure about one's own writing or to distance oneself from something well-written as if it popped into being fully formed and independent of our making it. So before imposter syndrome returns: I have read it again, and I wrote the fuck out of this mermaid book, y'all.

Every day is a gift we can both share and keep. It gives us that abundance. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Be intricate from top to bottom. #5amwritersclub

Turning 40 in a couple months and deciding what I want to do to mark the occasion. My current thoughts are backpacking or taking a trip to NYC. I could always do both spaced out a bit, but which experience do I want to usher in the next decade of my life? Volunteers to accompany always welcome.

You'll never guess which Muppets show up on this list.

Nature gives us her best every day. I'm trying to do the same. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Today is Jim Henson's birthday. When I think of him and his work, the word that comes to mind is "joy." It's a word I've been centering a lot lately. Not because the state of things is in a good place but because it isn't. And the best way to overcome the problems is by moving forward with love.

In honor of Jim Henson's 53rd birthday, we're celebrating all 53 of his Muppet characters! Wait... something about that sentence sounds incorrect. Ah well, happy birthday, Jim! www.toughpigs.com/53-years-53-...

FRAGGLE TALK: CLASSIC returns! In 'The Bells of Fraggle Rock', everyone wears winter coats and it's time for a holiday lesson.

Make waves in your work. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Repping all the pigs #playpokemon and #muppet alike.

Getting ready for round one at the Pittsburgh #playpokemon tournament. But thinking of all the muppetiness I'm missing in New York this weekend.

It's a new day. Lead with joy. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

BREAKING NEWS: The Muppet Show is returning! Set for 2026 on Disney+, in time for The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary. www.toughpigs.com/muppet-show-...

Heck yes! This is poetry.

Some very inspiring words this #5amwritersclub I love to see everyone out here pushing through for something they believe in.

Here's something: The vast majority of Tough Pigs podcast episodes are now available on YouTube! Now's the time to catch up on the ones you missed -- or listen to your favorites all over again!

What I've been studying the last month. Never stop getting better. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

One day we'll look back and know these days as difficult, but also necessary to have arrived on the platform from which we appreciate the past. Make them days of meaningful building. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

We do what we must. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Everyone needs a break sometimes from the landscapes we're used to. Try something new today. #amwriting #5amwritersclub

Sometimes the social media aspect of being a writer in 2025 is burdensome. But it has been such a wonderful way to connect with other authors. I'm so happy to have this group of people. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

If I have intersectionality, does that mean I can bury a spirit within me to confuse it? When it wakes up it won't know which way to go. It's only fair. I don't know either.

@tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social that Santeria reference just dropped casually in @herecomestomorrow.net It's like you don't even have to try.

When was the last time you looked for hidden pictures? Do you see the forest? Do you see the trees? Writers see both and give them to readers to better understand our stories. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

We need to have wilder dreams. #5amwritersclub #amwriting
