Last pic from #nwc48. Had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again. Thanks for having me, Seattle!

Day 3 digs for #NWC48. The beaded scarf was handmade for me by my mother. 😃 Today you can find me at 12 at The Poetry Workshop and 7 at The Poetry Deathmatch. Come write and be judged (in a good way)!

A few from yesterday's #nwc48 activities yesterday. Lots of fun!

Day 2 Norwescon 48. Catch my autograph session at 3 and reading at 7. Nevermore. #nwc48 #poetry #costume

I have to start paying attention to Bluesky. I'm like a month late sharing this!

At "Reading Other People's Poetry" on the first day of Norwescon with @docnock.bsky.social on the panel. #NWC48

I think I need an emotional support alpaca. Or an emotional support wombat. Maybe an emotional support sloth. An army of emotional support bunnies.

@docnock.bsky.social school fundraiser?

I don't know why I always think I'll get some writing done on work trips. "I'll be in a quiet hotel room!" turns into "I just sat in a meeting for 8 hours. I am not touching my computer!" on the first day. 😂 #writinglife

Surrender to HWA Oregon Larina Warnock’s (@docnock.bsky.social) poem “Failed Start” (heyzine.com/flip-book/79...), which was published in SpecPo Verse Issue 1 on April 30, 2025.

My mother said she wants me to finish my book. I told her I'm working on it again after reading a book that helped me identify how to fix it. She said it's not broken. I said she's supposed to say that. Now she has to wrestle with the question: Does she really want me to finish it? #writinglife

I'm attending this event. RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 worldshift.manyworldswriting.com #writinglife #specfic

In which I reveal the map of my fantasy novel world and talk about my dog. As always, this issue includes a writing prompt good for a publication opportunity. larinawrites.substack.com/p/larinas-li... #writinglife #review #writingprompt

I've been trying with writing a little before work every day because by the time I get home, decision fatigue has taken over my brain. Yesterday I wrote a sentence. This morning, a paragraph. Small wins. #writinglife

Headed back to work today. I wish I could find the time of day where I could write a little during the work week. I got one sentence added to my novel this morning. I guess that counts as progress!

Practiced a healthy dose of novel-revision-avoidance today, but I did actually make about 1000 words of progress. Also submitted a couple poems, filled out some patient paperwork, and reorganized my Google Drive...What tasks help you avoid writing? #writinglife

I wrote this piece as part of a Clarion West Write-a-Thon a couple years ago. When I do Write-a-Thons of any kind, I write something using a name selected by people who sponsor me. This piece has a special, secret meaning, making it that much more fun to share. larinawrites.substack.com/p/page-10

This has been a mostly relaxing break. Beluga will be sad when work starts again!

Remember the countless beautiful and loving things that happen every day that never get reported. Bad news events aren't the only reality. We can pay attention without having our vision skewed to seeing only the negative.
