Well I've gone and done it. I just tried to tell my cat what to do. I fear this will not end well for me

Sandra Wickham @sandrawickham.bsky.social · Dec 4

I just did that thing where I had my main character explain why they weren't telling someone something and then realized that is TOTALLY how it would come across and now I need to go back and have them tell right away. I know if you're a writer you TOTALLY just understood that. #writer #writerlife

To add to the Christmas overwhelm, most of the decorations for our tree were made by my dad who passed away last year, six days before Christmas...

I am already overwhelmed with Christmas stuff and it's only Dec 1st! We have a small place and I have to rearrange everything in order to fit the Christmas tree in, put the Christmas tree together, decorate it and I'm doing this all for my kid, it's for my kid, it's for my kid, okay I can do this...

I know I'm a writer but I don't have the right words to describe how amazing it is to teach Special Olympics athletes at fitness class. Today we did kickboxing and to see all their smiling faces and how awesome they are at it, it's the best thing ever. #specialolympics #downsyndrome #specialneeds

Folks, it's almost December, and I'm worried about you: reminding you once again to wash your emotional support water bottle. All of it. Take it apart. The straw, too. Use hot water and soap. Refill it and hydrate with that much better tasting water.

So! We better start posting everywhere more! It's working! #downsyndrome #specialneeds #beinclusive

I'm head coach for the little Special Olympians (2-12 years old) and some of the parents are already sad about their kids aging out of the programs even though they get to go on to other sports. I really want to provide overall fitness training for them even after 12 years old. #specialolympics

Sandra Wickham @sandrawickham.bsky.social · Nov 26

Putting this out there for the universe to do its thing. Some day I'm going to have an in home studio for yoga and weight training. I'll be able to do recording there, bring people in for training and most of all, have Special Olympics athletes come in and train! #specialolympics #bigdreams

I trained from home for almost nine years and have been back at an actual gym for about a year. A lot has changed in the gym and a lot has not. Greatest news though, SO many more women lifting heavy!!! I love it.

Meeting with my critique partners. I'm the youngin' at 52 years old and we call ourselves the Word Sisters. I envision us all huddled around our cauldron, cackling over our writing.

I had a dream last night I was using a can opener on an apple. Even in my sleep I'm mom tired.

You CAN write, edit, produce, sell and promote novels with only 8-10 hours a week. Sure, it may take you longer than other people, but you'll get there. This pep talk brought to you by me convincing myself I can get the third novel out in time to make it three novels in three years. #indieauthor

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Special Needs Mom: Okay, great, careful now. Okay, okay, maybe two hands on the cup, okay, whoa, okay, great try, let me get a towel and let's just throw the damn cup away and we'll get a straw.

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Sicillian: I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the half-full cup in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it so I can clearly not choose the half-empty cup in front of me
