Happy Friday #5amwritersclub Come grab a donut You earned it!

This is my most-liked post. I feel pretty confident that it’s the best advice I have for anyone joining Bluesky. Life is just simpler this way 💙

My oldest friend is doing an Ironman Triathlon today, so in solidarity I am going to draft 2.3 notecards, outline 111.4 pages (one act of a new novel), and edit 26.6 sentences. #amwriting

Dr Bush Wazee, (in)famous scientist made a Make It Worse machine. At first, subtle slow downs. Movements, meant to, didn’t. Rushing became trickle, leisure became mandates for unthinking neurons negated faces froze grotesque mouth-o pantomimes. And then, became never again. #5amwritersclub

Hey friends. It's been a minute, but I'm dipping my toes back in. #5amwritersclub

Big Jupiter Announcement! We've added two faculty to Mission Control! There is still space to join us. Don't miss out! #5amwritersclub forms.gle/Gob5jVYcQyie...

yes it is Friday (had to check) and there are donuts (always) must be #5amwritersclub There are plenty to share. Come on by and grab a donut because you all earned it!

Gotta start somewhere #5amwritersclub

Jupiter … if writing is your thing, this is the thing to thing at. Experts, encouragement, camaraderie, and neato-keen cool #5amwritersclub peepages (yes, like you see here daily). Apply. Trust me, we stay crunchy. Even in milk.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

And we've got guest faculty too! Wanna learn from the best? @ralphwalker.bsky.social @juliafgreen.bsky.social @pennyzang.bsky.social and Caroline Manring! Click back to the OP, fill out the form, block your calendar and LFG to Jupiter! #5amWritersClub #WritersRetreat
