GM #5amwritersclub Me: VDP saving my mental and creative space this morning Muse: Yeah, you need some mental help Me: Be nice... It's the best I can do right now Muse: I was being nice. You need mental safety Me: True... Let's find that together Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Fuck, think I'm getting sick Muse: Seriously? Me: Yeah, between this crazy "not winter but winter" weather and stress, my body is saying "Hell no" today Muse: Okay, back to bed Me: Yep Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub Me: More time blocking today Muse: You seem more energized this morning Me: No clue why, but I'm going to use it to my advantage Muse: Just as long as you don't expect me to be the same Me: Like that's ever going to happen Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... So, time blocking is hard for this #AuADHD brain. I worked on my outline because I've got some more worldbuilding to do. Hoping to get actual words on the page tomorrow during my scheduled blocks. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #transform2026

GM #5amwritersclub Me: We're time blocking today Muse: Oh? What's that supposed to do? Me: Keep my #AuADHD brain focused on one task Muse: Good luck with that... squirrel! Me: Funny. Not going to work. Muse: Here's that book... Me: Fuck... Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Worked late which I really didn't want to do on my first day back at work. Really hope this is not going to set the tone for the rest of the year. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #transform2026

GM #5amwritersclub Me: I should have taken today off, too 😫 Muse: Yep 🙂 Me: But it'll be pretty quiet, so I can get a few things caught up 💪 Muse: Sure 🙂 Me: You don't sound convinced 🤔 Muse: I'm still on vacation until Monday 🙂 Me: 🙄 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Worked on the #WIP today (~450 words) which has been restarted from the new outline. Putting my new #transform2026 into action today. Unfortunately, back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to that at all. #writersky #writingcommunity #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub Happy New Year! Last year's word #consistency2025 instilled the habit of writing. This year, I want to be intentional again with #transform2026 and see what changes I can affect in my life. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Getting a late start Muse: What're we doing today? Me: Working on my resume probably Muse: Ugh, aren't you on vacation now? Me: I want to take a permanent vacation from my current job Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub Me: So, we really didn't sleep last night Muse: I tried, but your brain kept going over plot points Me: The plotting and story arc classes really got me thinking about what to write Muse: Ugh, yeah, we're RE-WRITING now Love you💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Went back to the #WIP outline today and reworked some things. Ultimately, I'm going to be starting over with the draft because so much has changed 😩 However, I think the changes are for the better, so here we go. #writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Merry Christmas everyone! Muse: Yup, Merry Christmas! Me: Cracking open the #WIP today. Wish me luck 🤞 Muse: *cracks knuckles* Let's do this! Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #giftsforyourself

GM #5amwritersclub Me: It's Tuesday Muse: Uh, yeah, and? Me: Just an observation Muse: Okay... Me: I'm hoping to motivate myself Muse: Is it working? Me: Not a damned bit Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #vacation

Accountability post... Lack of sleep messed with my creativity today, but I did manage some short scenes to the tune of about ~1500 total words. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Muse: The fuck are we doing up? Me: Sleep was — uncooperative Muse: 😩 I was having a good dream Me: I was staring at the ceiling — producing nightmares Muse: Fine. Fine. So, what've we got Me: We start with curse journaling Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Worked on some professional courses and updated my resume. Gotta schedule professional and personal development time in addition to creative writing. My 2026 is shaping up to be incredibly busy. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Fuck, overslept this morning Muse: Could have slept longer... Me: Yeah, but my brain had some ideas I wanted to write down Muse: #adhdbrain gonna do what it wants when it wants Me: Yep, and for once we're in agreement Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Been writing little snippets off and on all day. Probably wrote ~2000 words. Short reps to get the mental muscles flexing again. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: I think I need to recharge the batteries Muse: And refill the word well Me: Yeah, that too Muse: And you've got a doctor appointment later Me: Oh, right, I almost forgot Muse: Fuck you needed this vacation Me: I know Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... One more day and then I'll have some time off. I really need this break. Especially after working late every night this week. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Muse: 🥱 Why didn't you wake me up? Me: Just wanted some quiet time for reflection 🤷‍♀️ Muse: You curse journaled, didn't you? 😒 Me: Yeah 😅 Muse: I could have helped ☹️ Me: You still can. I'll need help burying the bodies 😏 Muse: 😈 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Worked late again today. So many stupid things becoming issues when we shouldn't be wasting time on them. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR Me: Today feels so surreal Muse: How do you mean? Me: My boss is out of the office for 3.5 weeks beginning today Muse: 😮 Me: 🥹 Muse: You know what that means? Me: Love you 💜

Accountability post... Worked late again. Crashing early because I think I'm getting sick ☹️ #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #PrincessBride #Humperdink Me: Why can't it be Friday already? Muse: Because, you must complete the insanity that is your last week at work this year. Me: Well, my thoughts on that would be...

Accountability post... Did some more research. Wanted to do more, but my brain is non-functional at this point. Crashing early today. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: I'm... strangely motivated Muse: Okay, we can work with that Me: Got some research to continue, so I'm starting there Muse: Whatever gets the creative juices flowing Me: That could be construed in so many different ways Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Reasonably productive character outlining today. Went better than expected and I think I've got a better handle on my characters this go around. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #plotting Muse: What's that? Me: Character maps/connections/introductions Muse: What's this? Me: Not finished Muse: Well, what's this? Me: Also, not finished Muse: What do these lines mean? Me: Which lines? Muse: The squiggly ones there Me:

Accountability post... Worked a little bit on some character backstories, but not too much else got done. If I can just get through this next week... I'll have a little breathing room. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Fuck, overslept again Muse: Your brain is weird when you sleep Me: Ya think? I don't know where it comes from Muse: Journal that shit out Me: Yeah, gonna have to Muse: Or change your genre to horror Me: Not helping Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Got stuck in some mental funk because work was shit today. Next week is going to be absolutely fucked. I hope I can write something this weekend to pull my mind off the shit that's going down. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: 😫 This week = a rollercoaster of crazy Muse: 😒 Why do you think I'm steering clear? Me: 😮‍💨 Look I've got to do something creatively productive or I'm gonna go insane Muse: 🤔 Let me think... Me: 🙄 Don't hurt yourself... Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Damn, I'm so fucking tired. The weekend is nearly here - and I need this time away from the crazy. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclubs Me: I really want to write something this morning Muse: Why are you looking at me like that? Me: Isn't that, like, your job? Inspiration? Muse: You've clearly confused me with someone else Me: 😡 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Fucking hell, worked late again. I'm so damned tired. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Ugh, overslept again Muse: You needed it Me: Won't argue Muse: What're we doing today? Me: I thought I'd try outlining the #WIP, but I feel like shit... Muse: *softly* burnout Me: What? Muse: Burnout, bitch Me: Yeah, pretty much🫠 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #SFR

Accountability post... Worked late again, and I'm just not feeling that great either. Calling it an early night. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Got another earworm this morning... Muse: I LOVE THIS SONG! Me: Same. Catchiest tune about drug addiction... Muse: Wait. WHAT? Me: You didn't know? Muse: No! How? Me: Do-do-do do-do-doo-do Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR youtu.be/beINamVRGy4?...

GM #5amwritersclub Me: Why? Why does my brain do this? Muse: I dunno. I didn't ask it to wake us up at 2:45am Me: Think we might do some #WIP outlining at least Muse: 🫠 Me: 😑 Muse: 🫡 Me: Don't be facetious 😒 Muse: 😚 Me: 🙄 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #SFR

Accountability post... Got some things done on the work documentation, but not nearly as far along as I had hoped. Looks like there will be some late evenings this week 😮‍💨 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Muse: I don't get it Me: We provide comprehensive feature documentation in our release notes Muse: It's 25+ pages before you add images. Who the fuck will read all of that? Me: Shhh, don't try to make sense of it Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Somehow, I survived this insanity today. Got about 50% through the work writing, and still need to wrap up the remainder tomorrow. #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub Me: You ready for this bullshit? Muse: Here. You're gonna need this Me: Red Bull? You're joking right? Muse: Nope. I've got nothin' in the tank today Me: Ugh, fair enough. Let's get this shit show rolling 🥂 Love you 💜 #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR
