tidying up my final edits to my query letter! like, dusting off the cobwebs and hooking it up to a defibrillator 🫠 #10queries #5amwritersclub

Happy Wednesday to all who celebrate the midst and middles 🌒🌕🌘 Is anyone else polishing off a query letter draft for #10Queries coming up??? I've decided last minute to give it a shot (again)! #5amwritersclub

If autumn would move along and be done with all this unseasonable 75° weather, my writer’s heart would be content 🤍 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

cuppa tea: warm cat on my lap: warm my fingers flying on this keyboard: 🔥 happy (friday) writing! #5amwritersclub

THE MOST HEARTFELT CONGRATS TO MY BEST FRIEND OF 25 YEARS who absolutely deserves the world!!!! @alexishatcher.bsky.social 🫶🏼 cannot wait for the world to experience your beautiful words + thoughtful characters. Plz zoom for the deets bc DANG they’re impressive 👏🏼 #writingcommunity #fantasy #kidlit

The writing vibes would be perfect this morning….if only the cat weren’t chasing a bug (or ghost?) across the room like a Tom + Jerry bit 🫠 #5amwritersclub

Hi there #5amwritersclub 👋🏼 A sprinkle of over-booked summer chaos threw a wrench in my morning writing sessions. But happy to say I made it in by 5:52 this AM 🎉

Made it to the final round of the #MicrofictionChallenge100 by @nycmidnight.bsky.social, and regardless of how it ends, I’m fairly proud of that last piece I wrote. 🐝 #5amwritersclub

Awaiting the results of another round for the 100-Word Microfiction by @nycmidnight.bsky.social has me practicing radical patience ⛅️ #writing #writingcommunity

The ideal time for a reboot is ~not~ when I’m trying to join #5amwritersclub 😅

I’m up, I swear! #5amwritersclub

tip-tapping 100 (or less!) words while on a plane for round 2 of the microfiction contest meannnssss crossing my fingers my seat-neighbors don’t judge my words too harshly 😅 #fantasywriting #writingcommunity

Soaking into my last Sesame-cuddles before I take my writing on vacation with me 🏝️ #5amwritersclub #alittlelate

Moving on to round 2 for @nycmidnight.bsky.social 100-word microfiction challenge and feeling oddly daunted 😅 #writingcommunity

The results for the 100-word microfiction first round from @nycmidnight.bsky.social should stopping by today to say hello 🌊 Eek! #5amwritersclub

For me, it’s Friday. Which makes this an excellent #5amwritersclub 👏🏼

Missing my weekly writing meeting to be at work on a Sunday is….. 🫠 Not Ideal™️

nothing like some seasonal allergies to get you out of bed and to the writing desk ✍️ #5amwritersclub

#5amwritersclub is looking an awful lot like a 6am meetup for me 😅 at least on these days my rested brain is efficient! Right? Right???!

I need to write each of the next three days to hit my monthly goal. Time to get started ✍️ #5amwritersclub

“Sometimes I’m writing, and sometimes I’m living, and both are valuable.” - @madelinemiller.bsky.social Thinking of this a lot on these first lovely New England days ☀️ #5amwritersclub

Humming songs from SINNERS while writing this morning 🎶 #5amwritersclub

A not-aesthetically-pleasing progress pic of this gouache cutie that I’ve been slowing building on over the last week. Trying to find the right paint consistency has been the hardest (+funnest!) part for me 🖼️ Coming from a tutorial by Paul Clark ! #gouache #painting #learntopaint

First morning in days that I’ve managed to pop up to write 🌞 let’s see if my brain will catch up with my body today #5amwritersclub

Good morning ☀️ I snoozed twice before Sesame 🐈‍⬛ started scratching at the door, telling me it was time to write already. #5amwritersclub

Falling asleep with the joy of knowing I have words to write when I wake ☁️ #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

956 words of re-writing done, and a cup of tea polished off ☕️ what a perfect way to start a Tuesday #5amwritersclub #littlelatewritersclub

Waiting anxiously for the #RevPit updates for all y’all ~ And crossing my fingers extra hard to see @katevwrites.bsky.social + @aswiftauthor.bsky.social + @rodenwrites.bsky.social out there !! 🫶🏼

We’ve got: ✅ scrivener primed + ready ✅ curled up Sesame ✅ a wild desire to complete something half decent this year Now we hope 🤞🏼 it’s enough #5amwritersclub

And dare I say… today’s a writing-in-bed kind of day ?! #5amwritersclub

Happy mid-week slump. Hopefully the words come easy the day goes quickly 🫶🏼 #5amwritersclub

Is there anything better on a rainy Saturday morning than meeting up with @giannagirone.bsky.social for tea, writing sprints, and bookshop wandering? 🌧️ #writingcommunity

“The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it.” — Samuel Johnson Thinking about this concept pretty often these days. #5amwritersclub

The words are flowing and I’m just floating along 🦦 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Any advice on how to not snooze that first alarm would be appreciated 😴 #5amwritersclub

New week, new chance to reach my goals 🎯 this draft will be done by the end of 2025, or so help me! #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Sesame 🐈‍⬛ is enjoying the view and I’m enjoying some lovely beta reading #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #fantasywriting

Today I have full permission to write in my pajamas ☁️ and thank goodness #5amwritersclub

On my way to #5amwritersclub. #writingcommunity

I write because I have to, because the words die if they’re not put to page, because creation is an act of rebellion + growth. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Good morning, good writing, good luck 🖤 #5amwritersclub

One of my favorite parts of rewriting is when I actually get to keep a mostly-whole scene and just edit it tightly 🥹 feels like a cheat code lol #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

After four days off of early mornings, this writing session feels a little rough 🙈 but I made my chai last night so I know that’s waiting for me, patient + promising! #5amwritersclub

13 hours later and I’ve submitted my 100 words for the @nycmidnight.bsky.social microfiction challenge ! 😮‍💨 And thank god for @aswiftauthor.bsky.social + @alexishatcher.bsky.social for support, non-judgment, and tolerance of my antics 🫠 I’ve never felt more annoying or loved #writingcommunity

When I think of how I want a reader to feel while reading my (queer)(fantasy) novel, I remember my first time reading The Song of Achilles. @madelinemiller.bsky.social opened, shattered, and pieced back together my heart time and time again. That level of emotional potency is everything for me!

How many times can I edit roughly the same 100 words until they’re just right? 🫠 #microfiction #100wordschallenge

Wasted 7.5 hours sleeping instead of working on my @nycmidnight.bsky.social microfiction challenge. Time to catch up! 🙈 #amwriting #writingcommunity

Goal: complete this manuscript in >90k words. Stretch goal: >82k. Any advice on slashing word counts appreciated 🙌🏼 #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity
