Pitch events on BlueSky? Count me in! #writingcommunity #writersky #amwriting #amediting #booksky 📚💙

In today's news, my characters happened upon an enormous underground library after being lost in tunnels for heaven knows how long. How would you feel if you met a phoenix as big as a house living here? #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #booksky 📚💙

At 1 am, I decided that I'd have a QUICK look at my current WIP for 15 minutes or so. I was super tired, so I figured I'd force out the last little bit of energy I had just to say I wrote. It's 4 am. It's FOUR in the morning, and I don't know what happened. #writingcommunity #amediting #amwriting 📚💙

📚💙 Three days to go. Anyone else planning on participating? 😄 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #booksky #amquerying #writer

Today's editing included adding some talk about the justice systems in Rutenia, Thwartel, and Zuranji to my current WIP. This was not something that was in the initial planning 🤣 What do your characters discuss when you let them have free reign? 🤔 📚💙 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #justice

I'm about 60% through the final round of edits on my current WIP. I've been editing and editing and editing. Then, writing more and editing that too. Will the editing ever end? 😱🤣 Anyone else editing too? How's it going? #amediting #amwriting #writingcommunity #writers 📚💙

Just finished playing Mistborn: The Deck Building Game in solo mode. Reading the manual, I had my doubts, but I did it! 🤩 My husband and I played against each other earlier too, and we had so much fun. If you haven't played it yet, you NEED to if you love the #Cosmere 😄 #amreading #mistborn 📚💙

Not me, a 30-year-old staying up till 10 am without sleeping because I found out Tabletop Simulator has "Mistborn: The Deck Building Game" and I played it the whole night 🙃 Certainly not. You must be mistaken! 🤭🤣 The way Brandy Sandy has me hooked 🤩 #cosmere #mistborn #brandonsanderson #amreading 💙📚

📚💙 In my recent edits, I've spent 90% of my energy on developing characters and their relationships with each other. I get so excited when I see everything coming together 🤩 #writingcommunity #amediting

I've been working my butt off every day, editing, editing, editing 🫣 so why does it feel like I'm going at a snail's pace?? How much editing is too much editing? 💙📚 #writingcommunity #amediting

Last night I did a 4 hour writing stint 😎 I didn't even notice time passing, so when I finally stopped for a break, the brain fog hit me like a brick wall 🧱🤣 Today, I'm still hyper fixated on writing, but my brain is mush and I can't stay focused. Way to self-sabotage 📚💙 #writingCommunity #writersky

I recently finished #Arcane. I am sorry, but how did these creators make something so... 🤩🫣😱😭🤔🥲🙃 PERFECT??? I felt all the feels. You guys hurt me in the best way possible. I was stunned, and I'm inspired to write better stories 📚💙 Anyone else in love with Arcane? 😍 #leagueoflegends #amwriting

I am THRILLED 🤩 I'm doing edits, and adding so much depth into my characters and their interactions makes my heart jump for joy 💙📚 character growth and relationships are my favorite parts of stories lately. What's your favorite? #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #writersky

Last year in December I started my current project "Requiem of the Fallen." I sooo badly wanted to finish it within a year, but within the blink of an eye, 2024 left 🙃 anyone else feel like 2024 just flew by? #writingcommunity #writersky 📚💙

2024 is almost done 🫣 I'm guessing the New Year's resolution type posts will be (or already are) making the rounds soon. When I was younger, I used to have some. Now, I live by "Why do tomorrow what you can do today?" #writingcommunity #writersky 💙📚

I made a rule that I only get to work on one WIP at a time knowing full well that my brain would thrive working on more than one at a time 🤣 now I want to stop following my made up, self-imposed rule, but I have to finish my current WIP in order for that to be allowed. Fun times 💙📚 #amwriting

Today marks the start of a well-deserved break for me! I'm so excited to have 2.5 weeks free to spend my time writing and editing and maybe even relaxing. What are you planning on doing in the holidays? 📚💙 #amwriting #amediting #writersky

I kept seeing reading wrap-ups everywhere and couldn't help but get intrigued. Anyone else on Fable? First I've heard of it, but I love the concept of reading wrap-ups! Reminds me of Spotify's yearly wrap-up. The marketing has certainly worked on me 🤭 📚💙 #fable #amreading #readingwrapup

Currently reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter 📚💙 I. AM. IN. LOVE! The story is addictive! 🤭😍 I'm generally not a romance girly because it feels so forced to me. How does Brandon Sanderson paint such amazing stories, characters, and relationships??? #reading #yumiandpainter #amreading #cosmere

What's your busiest time of year? Evidently for me, it's now. I'm a teacher and I have sooo many things to do in the next week that it seems almost impossible to fit in time (or energy) to write. Who's in the same boat? 📚💙 #writersky #amwriting #amediting

(1/2) Story time 💍 My husband's ring went missing almost 6 months ago. We turned the apartment upside down more than once, but eventually, we gave up and assumed we had somehow accidentally let it end up in the trash while cleaning. Last night, by pure coincidence, we found it 😱 .....

Time for a proper night's sleep (hopefully without fever) so that I can get back to it tomorrow. Hold thumbs for me 💁🏻‍♀️ #amwriting #amediting #flu

Time to get my ass back in gear after a week of writing nothing. Thanks flu! 🙃 Still feeling crappy, but if I wait any longer I'll probably end up forgetting how to write 😖 #flu #amwriting #amediting

Just spent the night playing #minecrafteducation with my hubby for date night 🤭 it was so much fun getting familiar with it! I've learned so much about coding already, and I've just started 🤩

Just finished a day of ✨nothing✨ Today might be a better day 🫣 #amwriting #editing #burnout

Why is almost every post I see the 20 book challenge? 😶‍🌫️ I want to read about people's ideas and have discussions, not see picture after picture with zero context given 🙃 hope this ends soon! #writingcommunity #booksky #writersky #readers 📚💙

Finding people who hold you accountable when you need it is amazing. Finding people who tell you to take a break because you need it is life changing ♥️ find your people and help them be the best them they can be, but also remind them that they're only human 😊 #writingcommunity #support #burnout

Not every day is gonna be great and that's okay. Some days you'll get triple the work you had planned done. Others, you'll spend the day doom scrolling or staring at your screen without doing a single thing 🙃 or in my case, both 🫣 It's okay. You can do better tomorrow! #writingcommunity #writers

Today was not a post-my-progress type of day 🙃 we all have our ups and downs, and today was definitely a down for me. I took the day off from work to write, but ended up doing NOTHING 🫣🫠😶‍🌫️ I'll try again tomorrow! #writingcommunity #amediting #writersky #readers #writers

This is a personal attack 🙃

Have you ever used Amazon KDP to order a proof copy of your novel? After edits, I'd like to order one just so that I can hold my baby in my hands 🥹 how long did your proof take to arriver and was it worth it? #editing #kdp #writers #writingcommunity #proofcopy
