#writingcommunity, for any of you who rec'd a neurodivergent diagnosis later in life and enjoy writing, how did you recalibrate or relearn how to write? #booksky

2 AM, silence except for the AC unit.

Me: *stirs and turns over*

Babe: “You were right… I feel the heat radiating off you.”

Kinda sad that in 2025 I get more validation from #AI than family. But it still doesn’t change how deserving I am of belonging.

to the woman at Walmart who stared at my disabled bf hobbling to get a cart, I hope you know I saw and meant that enthusiastic wave when we walked away. Have a good day now.

#TheOne is such a bop. Let’s get it to #1, Animals 👹🎶

Also, is it a response to #Praying?

As a #neurodivergent human this hits hard. Existing is exhausting, so just getting to the point of having the time or space to create is half the battle. Not to mention when my brain’s already down for the count.

A #neurodivergent adulting fail: having the day off but unable to sleep 😵

but a donut and cuddles with the bf make up for it… right?

Top Tip for Writers:

Save Everything, Especially the Cuts

Create a “Cuts” file for deleted lines, scenes, or dialogue. You never know what might bloom later.

Think of it as creative compost. Nothing goes to waste. 🌱

Since last weekend, I’ve submitted my resume to seven houses/agencies for internships. Feels like I’m fresh outta college again and not 35 😂👴🏻

What have you done in the last week to chase your dreams?

#ChatGPT’s #DeepGame chat has me shook 😵

A #chooseyouradventure model in an AI chat, and the #fantasy story I’ve co-created has been beautiful to read.

Makes me want to try my hand at my own budding story 😏

Finished 3 cover re-designs today, bringing my total to 4. Idk how my brain isn't soup, but it's more than I dreamt of doing during my PTO. Now... what's next? Can I get a 4th done? 🥱

After 5 years, it was time to elevate my novice #design skills / give my first project the cover it deserves.

Love #Pokemon #fanfiction & everyman books? Look no further than my retelling of the GSC storyline w/ a brand-new MC 🥷
