After eighteen days, the first draft of chapter one is finished. And while I am proud of the words and the work I've done. I'm not happy with the pace I've set. It is still early in the year, and I won't allow myself to fall into old traps and lose productivity. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

I wonder if my authorial voice is underdeveloped. I am already drawing heavily from my inspiration, and I'm concerned with being derivative; my work overwrought with unoriginal ideas and generic prose. Perhaps I'm being too hard on myself. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

It's been a hectic few days. Lots going on, and a new job. But the writing continues. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

1025 words this morning, but I’m feeling overwhelmed by that critic in my head for which nothing is ever good enough. I wish I could enjoy this small victory but that voice is ever present and I’ve not yet figured out a way to silence it. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

I often feel as if I have no control over my attention. That I'm being pulled in several directions all at once. It's so difficult to narrow my focus to one task. This is, unfortunately, devastating to my writing routine, and I struggle very much to maintain a daily habit. #ADHD #Writer

"I'll fix it up better than new, the same as it never was...for a price, of course," said Calder.

I'm afraid...my novel may turn out to be longer than I initially planned. Blarg! #Blarg #Writer #booksky #WritersofBluesky

Well, it's a humble start, 465 words. It's half of what I hoped for, but I won't let myself dwell on failure. Every day, so long as I put at least one word down, I've succeeded. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

I've been focusing on short stories a lot lately, but I think I'm finally ready to tackle my first novel. I'll share more soon. #writer #booksky #writersofbluesky

I love DragonHeart (1996). It holds a special place in my heart between nostalgia, adoration, and genuine love. But I have to wonder, without Randy Edelman's original score, would I hold this film so closely to my heart? Thoughts? #Film #Movies #DragonHeart

I think the best course forward is to continue to write. I've been twisting myself up, being hypercritical of my words, and not allowing myself the joy to just write. So that's what I'm going to do: write and enjoy myself. Perhaps, a voice will emerge. #writer #writersofbluesky

Writing hot take, maybe... But, I think that a lot of modern writing advice does more harm than good and is focused on min-maxing the fun out of the craft and is more attuned to grabbing the readers attention and less about advising the writer how to express themselves. Am I wrong? #Writers

Confidence and me parted way years ago, we cross paths every now and then. Those are the good days, when the words come easy and I'm not second guessing every sentence. #writer #writersofbluesky
