Congratulations, and thank you for all the joy you've given us over the years 🎉

I promised I'd wait to watch the season finale of #TheLibrarians with my mom, so instead, I'm avoiding spoilers by making fanart. I'm so glad we've already been given a second season!

This is an older drawing (my first attempt with alcohol markers!) These characters are so much fun!

Question for you, #writingcommunity:

How long is your ideal writing session?

I write really well in chunks of 15-20 minutes--any longer and I start to lose focus (if I can make it that long without getting interrupted). Anyone else?

Same. I want to make sure the floor is solid before I build upwards.

Rachael Waldburger @rachaelwaldburger.bsky.social · Jun 9

That's how I work too! I don't even try to number my drafts anymore 😂

Rachael Waldburger @rachaelwaldburger.bsky.social · Jun 9

Unpopular opinion: You can edit while you draft.

It can help you keep details consistent, take advantage of opportunities for foreshadowing, and flesh out your setting.

Do you edit while you write?

Unpopular position, but editing is my favorite 😅 Good luck with your project!

#writingcommunity! I'm looking for busy parents who are interested in learning:

-How to build a writing routine when you don't have any time
-How to set boundaries around your writing time
-How to make short writing sessions count
-How to trigger writing mode
-How to improve your draft as you write

Thank you for your commitment to the idea that our power comes from knowledge and empathy, and that anyone can use those skills to save the day. It's my favorite thing about the original Librarian/s, and it feels like a timely reminder now. Great first episode, can't wait to see the rest!

Aaaand another. I missed @leverageredemption.bsky.social so much.

#LeverageRedemption is really stepping it up with the weird grift personas this season, and I am here for it.

I had 30 minutes, an unattended pencil, and screenshots from the new season of @leverageredemption.bsky.social before bed last night. I need more curly-haired-Eliot-in-a-hat episodes.

Writer parents!

I'm doing some research, and I'd love to talk to you about your experience as a busy writer with children. We can chat here, in DMs, or on the phone--whatever works for you! It'll only take a couple of minutes; I know how busy you are 😊

Thank you!

So excited for this! I've been waiting (not very) patiently since ElectricCon for both shows to return!

Rachael Waldburger @rachaelwaldburger.bsky.social · Mar 22

So excited!
