Tired: Finishing your manuscript

Wired: Procrastinating by starting another one

One of those days where the goal is to check off little tasks to collect dopamine hits like Mario collects coins.

One of those dreary, rainy days where work after noon should be illegal

I set a goal to post here once a day and then… as life goes… I wake up and realize I haven’t in two months 😊 But just like writing, there’s no reward for beating yourself up about what you could’ve done. The only reward comes if you get back on the bandwagon.

Less time trying to fix that paragraph, more time going for a walk and letting the answer come to you. #booksky #writer #writing

If only I could be as bad at my job as a weather app

I’m always shocked at how much I can improve my writing if I set it down and come back to it in a few weeks (or months!) That pair of fresh eyes is invaluable. #writing #writer #booksky

A writer life comes with such highs and lows! One day I think I’ll sell 100,000 books, the next I’ll journal through crippling anxiety that I won’t sell one. If you struggle to release either extreme, you aren’t alone! #writer #writing #booksky

It’s been the type of cold in Chicago that you can only cure with a bowl of chili so warm it makes the cheese ooey gooey

It’s agonizing to love a piece of #writing that’s 90% complete. You’re desperate to show it off, but you know the best thing for your baby is to give it that last 10% of tender loving care before it enters the world. #booksky #writer

Nothing will ever ever ever feel better than reaching the bus stop the minute it comes by. The heavens are saying they bend the world to your every whim

It’s gummy bear this, gummy worm that. No one wants to talk about how gummy sharks are underrated

The best #writing tip I ever got had nothing to do with writing and everything to do with time. If you structure your life so you can write most days, you’ll eventually learn everything you need to know. #booksky #writer

I haven’t used my oven in forever because I always use my air fryer, etc. When I say I was NOT familiar with their game… #cooking #mealprep #food

Woke up really tired but decided to still write whatever I could. Success isn’t about the leaps you make on your best days but the resilience you build when you decide to gain an inch on your worst day. #writer #writing #booksky

Honestly #AI can take my job if it stops the continuous flood of content about it

The more I write, the more I realize some of its challenges never go away. Every day I open the word doc and feel nerves because I’m uncertain what will come out, and every day I conquer those nerves only to face them the next day. #writing #writers #booksky

In #writing, I am constantly amazed by the power of our subconscious. I’ll have an issue that I cannot solve for a week. Then I’ll take a few weeks off, and when I return to it, I’ll have the perfect solution in five minutes. #writers #booksky

The feeling of 42 degrees after weeks of weather below 20… I wish I could bottle it up and sell it!!

Went on a walk by the lake today and look at this!

Mario Party rolls so bad I’m questioning everything I thought I knew about statistics…

Another year for my Spotify wrapped to look insane because I listen to lofi hip hop beats on loop while I write lol

Once again, it took me weeks of motivation to begin a task that required five minutes of effort.

Day off so I will scroll in bed for 15 minutes… *3 hours later*
