Wow well done. I'm sorry to hear life has been stressful I have been there! I got back into writing after a period of 'life' by making lots of handwritten notes.

Came up with a plot twist for Witchy WIP that had me grinning like a fool this morning

#WritingCommunity when was the last time your WIP made you smile?

Finally finished a chapter that I've been trudging through for two weeks.

Shorter naps for the twins mean more frantic writing sessions for me 😵 #WritingCommunity

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Sep 4

I should take week long breaks in the middle of chapters more often 🙃 #WritingCommunity

I'm so glad my MC knows what she's doing because I have literally lost the plot here #WritingCommunity #pantsing

So I know the first kiss between these characters doesn’t work where my pantser brain put it so I'm going to take the kiss out but leave all the delicious tension in 😈 #WritingCommunity

So I wasn't expecting these characters to kiss in this scene but it's happening.

Felt hot, might cut later.

I tend to stick with a working title until inspiration strikes and I settle on an actual title. Atm I'm working on 'Witchy WIP' and this is the furthest I've gotten into a draft without coming up with an actual title!

The twins have just gone down for their afternoon nap which means it's tea, snacks, and writing time 🥰 #WritingCommunity

Trying to recluse into a dark pit of working on my why choose mystery novel but for some reason my 10 month old twins need constant attention? What is that about? #MomsWritersClub #WritingCommunity

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Aug 8

I haven't got much experience of reaching the second half of the second act when drafting but DAMN this part is hard. Why did no one tell me that this part is so hard? #WritingCommunity

I have a cold so no physical writing for me this week (the twins are also ill) but I will be dreaming up scenes as I attempt to nap when the babies nap #WritingCommunity

Witchy WIP hasn't burnt me out. I've just been working on her a lot this week and I am TIRED #WritingCommunity

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Jul 29

I wish I could access Witchy WIP from my phone because I wrote this scene today and I really want to sit and read it as if it's one of my kindle books but it isn't a real book 😫

When I started Witchy WIP I promised myself I wouldn't think about the possibility of a book two for that way lies madness and yet here we are...

This afternoon I can:

A) Catch up on critiques - due tomorrow
B) Work on my sub for my critique group - due next Thursday (visiting family means I won't be able to work on it next week)
C) WRITE 300 WORDS TO GET WITCHY WIP TO 60K - NO DEADLINE

Guess which one I've picked #WritingCommunity

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Jul 22

These characters have zero chill

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Jul 21

Me giving the LI a pep talk: in your last POV chapter, the critique group thought your romantic attraction to the MC was a bit excessive, so this chapter we're going to tone it down a little okay?

Him: got it 👍

Him in the next chapter: SHE IS A GODDESS MY HEART BEATS FOR HER

I cut a chapter from Witchy WIP last week because it wasn't working which obviously meant it shouldn't exist, but an idea popped into my head over the weekend and now I'm going back to it, on my knees, begging for forgiveness.

JodieWrites @jodielouise.bsky.social · Jul 17

I'm not sure this character can suffer many more breakdowns but here we go again I guess.

At this point I have no choice in the matter honestly shit's getting out of hand.
