Welp, I'm here for #5amWritersClub, East Coast Edition, aka #5amWritersClub, Midwest Insomnia Edition. Go get it, writers!

Well, I missed #5amWritersClub by a few hours, but got 'er done all the same. I hope it was productive for you all!

Rise and shine, #5amWritersClub! Monday awaits.

Vibe for the #wip. #amwriting

Good morning from Paint Creek, #5amWritersClub. Frost on the tulips 🌷 today and our heater is off for the season. But I WILL get Chap Two draft despite the chill.

I may have discovered a new number, in that my interest in the Met Gala charts at less than -∞.

Happy Tuesday, #5amWritersClub. Let's do this!

Sharing the tool that keeps me from going off the rails in drafting. Feel free to download and adapt for your own writing. #amwriting #fantasyauthor #writingcommunity. Also it is not morning, but this one time, I will tag the #5amWritersClub even though it's not about trying to write at 5 am.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Absolute last pass before submission on this project!

I think the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack might be laced with cocaine. I only meant to try it the one time.

Waiting for my brain to come online for #5amWritersClub. Hope the rest of you are getting a snappier start than me!

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Waiting for the staff to bring me coffee in bed. It may be a long wait.

Here is why I missed #5amWritersClub.

Three hours after starting #5amWritersClub, I have a 500 word synopsis. I am thrilled. But also, WHY are these so hard? This document represents 106 pages of brainstorming and rough draft that came before.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Drafting chap 1 of a sequel. So many possibilities it’s daunting. I need to pick a path and just start.

The U.S House of Representatives voted to permanently undo protections for the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. Now it's up to the Senate who will likely vote within the next two weeks. Please speak up for this important wilderness area. ⬇️

Just back from dropping a friend at the airport: fog and deer and dark, oh my! I am now wide awake for #5amWritersClub.

Whew! The bot army is big today. What's up with Bluesky?

Iranian music teacher's farewell to his school 💔

This is who we have keeping our President in check. They could stop him at any time. Just 4 republicans could also stop him. They choose not to. Vote every republican out of office this year!

Happy Monday #5amWritersClub. Your creative work makes the world more bearable. Onward!

I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Decades later, looking at royalty statements, I can see that I was stupid to sign publishing contracts without the help of an agent or copyright lawyer. PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL HELP! Because you will definitely pay later.

GM #5amWritersClub. Outlining this next novel first in hopes of speeding up the current multi-year process.

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If talk therapy is free speech, can my therapist now suggest I swallow cyanide without repercussions?

Happy writing, #5amWritersClub. Look at us all, out here doing the hard thing!

So, I loved this.

there is a concerted media campaign right now to pressure Dems to capitulate on DHS funding, and they are trying to push the narrative that the TSA shutdown is somehow Dems' responsibility. The reality is the Dems have been trying to keep TSA funded the entire time.

The aroma of fresh brew rises to meet a rhythmic, blinking cursor, both awaiting the spark of my wandering muse. A new day, create your moments. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

Happy Equinox, #5amWritersClub! I was with you, but not online. Thanks to excellent advice given here, I am now a fountain pen rough drafter. Transformational tool! The robins arrived in our yard this morning for the first songs of 2026.

I am in favor of age restrictions on iPhones. For instance, if you are over the age of 50, the ability to record audio and send as a text should be blocked.

For the bewildered gift-giver when my birthday rolls around. Or for the holidays even. A land deed fits nicely into a stocking.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Trying to write while eating yogurt breakfast and fending off a feline who would also like to eat yogurt breakfast.

Just so I’m clear on how the international order works on rules for thee and not for me, the US blockading all oil shipments to Cuba in order to starve that country into submission is fair play, but Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz is not. OK, got it. 🙃

Using AI to write is like doing Tai Chi by moving your limbs.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

ICE detain U.S. Army veteran—a 50 year old woman with major health issues. 20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint. Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protest—evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents. Minneapolis, Minnesota

SOOOO excited for my next read!

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are). Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace. Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially. #KillerNoem

ICE killed someone again

I grew up in Oregon. This plan to clear cut Oregon's old growth forests is terrible in multiple ways. This article gives info on the situation and also where/how you can submit a comment to the BLM. Comment period closes March 23.

A final error check for #5amWritersClub. Thought you might enjoy a view of the past 6 weeks.

Has anyone seen the newsletters from the NEA lately? Shudder.
