Oof, logging back on and finding my last post—from when someone I loved very much passed away unexpectedly—kinda hit me right in the grief. Def going to be trying to use this space more. So much has changed since I was last here!
Had a bit of tragedy in my own life recently, so I'm pivoting away from writing the (pretty dark) story I had just begun to work on and back to another romantic comedy to hopefully lighten things up!
Really enjoying Lisa Cron’s Story Genius as I figure out my next story! I usually give up midway through craft books, but this one happens to line up really well with how I usually approach a new idea, just more refined. #authors

Made myself go to the library today just for a change of scenery and was able to write 1k in under an hour! #authors
An anecdote from Rachel Syme about Toni Morrison. The story describes Morrison’s “late” breakthrough as a single working mom who woke up every morning to write at 4am. Morrison got her first publishing job at 36 and her first book published at 39.
A reminder that 39 is not “old,” especially not for writers. I wish more authors would take the long view instead of feeling like failures for not publishing in their 20s. Hone your storytelling for a few decades. This is the longest long game. #writingcommunity #author
looks like a beautiful place to do some thinking!!
It’s still cooking but it’s going to be a mystery/drama!
I decided to just jump into the first chapter of my new WIP to see what felt right for the main character's voice, and suddenly I have almost 2,000 words written 🙃 #authors #writingcommunity
Nice! What program are you using to write? It looks cool!
It was a really lovely and unexpected find!

Took a nice impromptu walk after driving my partner to work. It’s one of my favorite ways to brainstorm when I am writing something new :)
I am already digging the vibes here! looking for more #authors to follow, especially if you're in the query trenches!!
oh this is just what i was looking for, thank you!
I was just starting to get used to X after avoiding using it for years, but I'm happy to be here. I'm looking for fellow #writingcommunity folks to follow, please!
Whew. Made it!
