5 minutes into a writing sprint…IYKYK. Yesterday I sent the timer for a 30 minute writing sprint and spent the first 20 minutes fixing the ball hitch on my office door.

New Year, new draft! (Also, why does every new story draft feel like this is my first time writing??)

The gift that keeps on giving.

If you haven’t watched this show, I can’t recommend it enough. I was on a weekend writing retreat with a friend when she suggested (forced) we watch the show…while she watched me enjoy it for the first time…and it’s a decision I’ll never regret (or forget).

Thank goodness for writing friends! Having writer besties can make even the hardest writing problems manageable - plus they don’t get bored of talking about your book!

Tag your writing bestie to let them know you πŸ’™ them.
