Typing is difficult. I have to balance them in the crooks of my arms while they hold on by digging their claws into my jacket. #5amwritersclub #caturday #writingcommunity #Cats

Good morning everybody. ☀️ I happily overslept, which was a good thing. I needed it. #5amwritersclub #wrters #books #writingcommunity

We are the last generation to die. If science can make dancing robots, it can cure old age and death. #writers #writingcommunity #Ai #5amwritersclub www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWUs...

The snow still hasn’t melted. But it was warm enough for Bella to venture outside. #Cats #caturday #Books #writers #5amwritersclub

Happy Caturday. 😺 #5amwritersclub #books #cats #writingcommunity

Oligarchs want to replace every job with robots and Ai. Oligarchs also want humans to have more babies. Why? Because someone has to buy their products and pay taxes. We are wallets, data, taxes, and grease for the tracks. Just another commodity to be exploited. #JobsReport #Debt #dystopian

Good news! A member of the Trump administration (Dr. Oz), wants us to start working full time earlier in our life and retire later or not at all to pay down the national debt. Will your children work cradle to grave to buy bullets for ICE, fund foreign wars, and give tax breaks to billionaires?

A great read for those yearning for better streets and happier lives. @waroncars.bsky.social www.lifeaftercars.com

On this cold winter day, I know for a fact that I could live on Deep Space Nine and be happy. #DS9 m.youtube.com/watch?v=v-91...

It’s cold. It’s Saturday. It’s time to write. #writers #5amwritersclub

Wonderful, perfect, good afternoon. It’s a warm 23 F, and Spring is on her way And… I am listening to “If Cats Disappeared From The World” by Genki Kawamura I thought it was about talking cats, but it’s about a dying man who makes a deal with the Devil Still good #5amwritersclub #Books #Writers

Tonight’s guest writer is Oliver. He is very underwhelmed by the fact that I am writing a story about a cat. His preferred genre is regency romance or gothic horror. #5amwritersclub #Writing #Cats #Writingcommunity

Happy Wednesday. Especially, if I don’t look at the news because ignorance is bliss. 😺 #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writers #writing

Tonight’s writing partner is the great and powerful Bella. 💕 #Cats #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #writers

On this day in history, the US Library of Congress was re-established after being destroyed by the British during the war of 1812. American politicians foolishly thought England was too busy fighting Napoleon to defend Canada against American imperialism. And then— www.history.com/articles/the...

Current work stoppage. Swear to God, he intuitively knows when I’m “in the zone” and appears out of nowhere to disrupt it. #5amWritersClub #ChaosCat

The ACA has never been anything other than government subsidized PRIVATE health insurance which is WHY Insurance companies LOVE it Better than nothing Yes Better than Medicare for All Nope The DSA fully supports M4All while regular Democrats support the status quo. @demsocialists.bsky.social

Two parties want to keep ICE and reform it at best. One party wants to abolish ICE. The Democratic Socialists of America have my attention. Hope in the darkness? Maybe. Maybe not. But worth a look. To me. www.dsausa.org

Every time a great deal of snow falls, Feral Boy shows up for a meal. The last few times he showed up, he ate in the mud room. A mud room, to the uninitiated, is a small area to take off your snow covered boots before entering a house He’s a chunky monkey #Cats #Caturday #writers #5amwritersclub

Hope everyone is good, well, or both on this fine, fine day. #5amwritersclub #writers #writing #Writingcommunity

Missed my goal, but I did finish my 3rd draft of a story: 80 K version 90 K version 51 K version Let it sit until March and then the real editing begins. 🎉 #5amwritersclub #WIP #Writingcommunity #writers

I am trying not to doom-scroll. I am trying not to let current events pollute my soul. #writingcommunity #wip #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writesky

“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,” James Madison The founding fathers, understood that the Roman Republic fell not to barbarians at the gate, but a permanent standing army at Julius Caesar’s fingertips. #Venezuala #Rubicon

Time to write? Nope. It’s time for head scratches and cuddles. #Amwriting #cats #writers #writingcommunity

2025 is over and 2026 will be all about finding beta readers, final edits, and publishing. In 2025 I wrote ten shortish stories. I, also, rewrote a novel twice and then decided to cut it down to a longish novella which meant even more rewriting. LOTS of wasted words But progress #5amwritersclub

He’s back, and he’s not going to move. Oliver. 🎭 #writingcommunity #cats #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Done and done. #5amwritersclub #thriller #bookbloggers #booklovers #amreading #BookWorm

Silly me. I, mistakenly, thought it was my desk. #writingcommunity #wip #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writesky

I have four days to complete my main focus of the year. Third rewrite and plenty of wasted words, but I will make it. 04 days 🙏 #5amwritersclub #Writers #writingcommunity #Writing

Amen.

Safe travels on this holiday weekend. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Horrible. Or Great. Turning a finished 2nd draft of a novel into a novella. I’m paralyzed by fear and freed by excitement. #5amwritersclub #writers #Writingcommunity #writing

Went beachside for a slightly better 3-mile run this morning. Managed to catch a wonderful sunrise. Now to refuel for some writing!!! #5amwritersclub #sunrise

Part of the reason we have such high healthcare costs in America is cars. We are fat, lazy, and sickly. Part of the reason we are in debt is that the average cost to own a car is 12,000 a year. I love my car, but … #EBikes #CargoBikes #Inflation #Writers www.brusselstimes.com/1401729/belg...

It’s killing me. Every year, I give out Starbucks hot chocolate tins for Christmas, but this year - I can’t. Workers voted for a union four years ago and Starbucks has been stonewalling their own employees ever since. How can I betray them? #NoContractNoCoffee #Starbucks

Unexpected feedback: In short, your novel is hopepunk because its core message is: “The world is haunted by pain and lies, but we can choose to face it together with kindness, honesty, and art. That choice is our power.” Witches and shamans and ghosts, oh my. #5amwritersclub #writers #WIP

How art works: Painter: I’m working on a piece - want to see it? Musician: I’m working on a song - want to hear it? Writer: I’m working on a novel - want to hear me drone on about plot points and motivations that will never make it into the book? #5amwritersclub #writing #writingcommunity

Lessons not learned: Japan was an isolationist country that wanted nothing to do with the west. America sent in gunboats, opened Japan to trade, flooded it with military hardware, caused a revolution, and trained its military. On December 7th 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked. Karma 😔

Very good Substack article.
