TGIF. Have a safe and magical weekend, #writers, #WritingCommunity, and #nature and #photography fans.

Well, #5amwritersclub, I did it. I finished the first draft of a novel I started #writing about 7-8 months ago. I did it little by little, day by day. As I wrote, I developed new ideas that will require changes in draft 2. Next year I’ll revise and revise until I’m happy. Now, rest and short forms.

Today on my blog: Phở Real  – Crime Writer Margot Kinberg share.google/FDmCTwNpWqU8...

I’m a little late for the #5amwritersclub this morning. Hello, Central Time. Trying hard to finish this first draft. Not long to go.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. What’s beautiful can be treacherous.

Hoping today is a better day for all, #5amwritersclub.

My heart is broken. #Australia #BondiBeach

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters. His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound. A true hero.

I’m late for the #5amwritersclub this morning, but good morning from Cambridge. #sunrise

TGIF, #5amwritersclub. I hope you find beauty wherever you are. Have a good weekend.

What waits for you at the end of the path, #5amwritersclub?

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. What would your characters do if they came upon this mansion at night? (The Mount — Edith Wharton’s home — Lenox, Massachusetts)

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Before you face the page, here’s your moment of zen.

Great #poetry sometimes stems from real life. Here is a poem for December 8, 2023: "23 Degrees (F) But The News Says It Feels Like 13" Don’t worry. The temperature only drops as fast as it takes your heating system to die. #WritingCommunity #ThatsLife #OKNotGreatPoetry

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Let your imagination take you to unexpected places.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. About 7 months ago I set a goal to finish the first draft of a novel by the end of 2025. I’m close, but I still have a bit to write. It’s rough and will likely need much of next year for revision. But I’m almost there. Any encouragement from the club is appreciated!

Looking for a gift for a young cat lover in your life -- a gift that does good at the same time? #cats #childrensbooks #holidaygifts

Sometimes the world and #life seem so crazy that your mind builds a little fence around itself, and the only things you can think about are whether there is coffee for the morning and if the humidifier is working and whether the cat ate dinner. Then you glance out the window at holiday lights.

Buy a book. Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever. Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Now, don’t look at me like that.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. The only way is up.

Change is scary.

TGIF, #5amwritersclub. If you don’t write, you risk getting “the look.”

Has anyone noticed that there are many more commercials and interviews than actual scenes of the parade on #NBC this year? #Thanksgiving #MacysParade

On this U.S. Thanksgiving morning, I am grateful for the beauty of sunrises — and grateful to know there are other writers out there in the #5amwritersclub cheering each other on. Happy Thanksgiving — or happy writing, in your corner of the world.

Good morning wherever the sun is rising for you, #5amwritersclub.

Good morning, friends! Tobias is getting very possessive about the mail. Maybe he thinks his holiday presents are on the way?

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Let the sunshine in.

Sometimes dreams change minute by minute. #writingcommunity #life

The rabbit thought for a moment before asking, "Do you wish you were a bear?" "No," said the red panda. "I am happy with what I am." "That's important, "the rabbit said, "and I understand. Everyone thinks you are a bear, and everyone thinks I am a hare!" Faye R DesPres /Anya Lauchlan An ideal gift.
