Can't I'll ever write 3 chapters in a morning session, but there was a #SlowDownSunday plot twist today: I got past that mid-point slump I always struggle with around page 100. Here I am: page 103!!!

I used to teach high school. My classroom was the #ComingOut classroom. Safe spaces are critical. Unconditional love helps.

It's #SlowDownSunday:
Dream: like the days I tell myself I’ll read only one chapter… then three hours vanish: I tell myself I'll only write one chapter & three chapters later I'd notice the coffee's empty. ☕✍️📚
Happy Writing! #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

40 here, what we neighbours🍁 call 5 (we're Fahrenheit deserters😀)--surprised it's colder there given our proximity. I'm in Nova Scotia, but the ocean keeps it a tad warmer.
My wordcount is ⬇️ today. Upside: the fall leaves are SO gorgeous🍂!
PS You MUST warm up that coffee☕

Thanks Mickey! I checked out your site & thought I'd send a 👍-videos are great & love that lively shot of you at the bottom!
My profile is pen-named for my cozy mystery series, but I'm UNICEF Canada's former National Education Manager (wrote & edited 100s of curriculum resources). To empathy🥂!

Great job & 100% honest feedback:
1. I might not read a book based on this marketing ONLY cuz it doesn't appear to be a genre I gravitate to (of which I have a massive TBR pile).
2. Something that ALWAYS catches my eye in these ad types: When that bottom arrow has a COMP
3. Visual match to genre✅🎉

#ThrowbackThursday to when I was a writer who woke up at 5 & believed in structure. Today’s version of me is… more interpretive. ☕🎭📚 #WritingLife” --also, I'm working the late shift, LAST one today🎉.

Love the expression on Carney's face. It's exactly the same expression on mine whenever I turned on the channel during the election campaign and saw PP's mugshot.🙄

Right there with ya!
I mean how do BOTH cats🐈‍⬛🐈 get sick at the same time?
And then both want to sleep next to me?
And fight over it! All night!😩

Traci, have you ever read The Emotional of Fiction by Maass?
It was an eye-opener for me. Have a wonderful day too! ✍️📚

Love this image! Looks like an old mailbox.
Imagine if instead of bills, the mailbox was filled with flowers💐

My dayjob keeps me too busy to do a proper deep dive on this, but I'll try on the weekend because as you properly allude to:
it makes my brain want to explode 🤯

🦋V. Bohème🦋 @vboheme.bsky.social · 5d

😬Cringe
As a Canadian🍁, I have no idea if this is accurate, but even a portion of that is impossible to wrap my head around...

Definitely not just you. I left work Friday to drive to a writers' festival (which was AMAZING), but came back with a runny nose👃, so the image is barely an exaggeration😁

There is nothing trivial whatsoever about the quiet power of books📚, of storytelling & of the triumphant arrival of a new life.
Congratulations🎉!
Also, what a lovely way your daughter-in-law honours you in your future grandchild's life--no small thing, no small thing at all.
