Used bookstore finds for this week! #booksky

Writings now on Substack Yes, that's right. I created a Substack account and I am uploading serial short fiction onto it. There's two posts up right now if you want to check them out: I have the content currently set to "free" for anyone to read. I am going to post most content for free but there…

This is the first of a series of mini-stories all set in the same place. I'll be posting the first few for free to start with. #authorsky #writersky open.substack.com/pub/claradmu...

I voted. That's the privilege of being a citizen of a democracy. I am honored to be allowed to participate because my female ancestors fought for my right to vote.

What's this? A Substack? It might be replacing Wattpad as my new short fiction publisher - check it out! substack.com/@claradmunro...

You know that you can grow your own for free. You can grow it indoors in the winter with just a full spectrum light bulb. Stop the fear mongering and focus on the solution. Grow your own, it's not hard.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

I'm sitting here trying to write a book while the USA is trying to annex my country and all I want to do is move to Ireland just to get away from it all. 😑

The American government doesn't see its people as citizens. They see them as consumers. The solution to this is simple. Stop consuming and start participating in politics, government, and life.

90K words done! This is a huge benchmark for me. My original goal for writing a novel was 90K words and now that I am here, I am excited to still have more of the story left to write. Writing was a bit of a struggle at the start of the week. It took longer to get going than it normally does. I…

I hit 90, 000 words!!! That was my original goal and I still have more story to write. I should have no trouble getting the last 30,000 in now. This feels so good! #writersky #authorsky

I just got my first taste of the tariff war. $565 Canadian in fees for the item I bought from a US small business last October. It hurts so bad 😞

So freaking accurate 😅

Today's progress on the Magic House model ☺️

There's no WIP that writer's can show. It's either the finished product or nothing at all. We can't show what we have done until it's done. In that way we can hide from AI hunting our unfinished work. It also means that no one really knows how hard we worked until it's birthed. #writersky #authorsky

My 3rd and final tail is on the last leg of its journey.

Two monsters who have shown up in my novel so far - Winter Wolves (image from Pathfinder) and Ice Spiders (image of a Schleich toy) #writersky #authorsky

86 K words completed Not even halfway through the week and I have already written 6000 words. I definitely feel like I am on a role with my writing right now. Every thousand words brings me one step closer to my goal of 120K words. Every book I wrote before this was only 50K and then my…

Feels like 2020 and I am watching my RRSP losing $100 a day because of Trump-enomics

i always love doing the translational work to make academic articles more accessible. Here, Neil, Jess and i walk through the implications of our new article on Irish Neolithic society and kinship

Creating a creativity and divine inspiration (Awen) altar in my office. So far it includes photography, watercolor, and writing. Goddesses Brigid and Cerridwen to honor. #pagansky #druid

I learned so much watching this. Lots for me to think about at a 42-year-old woman going through #perimenopause www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GQo...

I am currently reading a book series that I didn't realize was completely self-published because I bought it at Indigo. The author did it though: www.ingramcontent.com/authors And www.ingramspark.com sharing for other would be authors and writers out there. #authorsky #writersky

I hit 80,000 words on my novel today. This is officially the most I have ever written for a single project. Only 40,000 more to go on the rough draft! #writersky #authorsky

78K words! I am getting so close now! #writersky #authorsky

I love April Fool's Day for all the fun and silly stuff. Life's too short to be so damn serious all the time #aprilfoolsday

75K Words Completed The novel is coming right along now. I hit 75K words today and the new start to the story is working much better. I have had to scrap only about 5K words so far and I have added so much more since. With only 45K left to go in my 120K word goal, I feel like I am over the hill of…
