Omg I just went on Discord for the first time and I feel like I walked into a country I've never been to blind.

As a neurodivergent writer, I'm either writing one sentence or 200 pages at a time. There is no in between. #ADHD #writingcommunity

Was listening to The Resilient Writes Radio Show, and guest Lewis Jorstad said he didn't identify as a planner or a pantser but rather as a puzzler and I feel seen. #writingcommunity

This probably needs more context 🤣 4/6 - "Name" #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #amquerying

The internal struggle of trying to figure out how many physical books to take on vacation. (Plus my Kindle).

My husband and I started “Running Point” last night on Netflix and accidentally binged half the season.

Finally encountered a #litagent form on QueryTracker that asked for a Bluesky account in addition to Twitter! (And yes, we are calling it Twitter.) #writingcommunity #amquerying

A refresh to wind down the day!

Wrote this guide to querying mostly to explain to friends and family what I'm up to, but also to help anyone who doesn't know where to start! #amquerying #amwriting #litagents #writingcommunity

"Someone else will snap this up!" 🤞 From a different full rejection! I wanted to share some of the roller coaster that is querying. #amquerying #writingcommunity

"I really enjoyed your compulsively readable narrative style, your very strong premise, and thoroughly loveable characters. This is a very strong novel, so it came down only to personal taste." Choosing pride over disappointment from this full rejection! #writingcommunity #amquerying

"Mum, feel my bones. I been eating healthily stuff." - My 5yo

My 37th read of the year was "First Time Caller," a story inspired by "Sleepless in Seattle." Loved the banter between the MMC and FMC and enjoyed how the FMC's young daughter played into the story. #amreading #currentlyreading #booksky

When my phone died earlier I turned to magazines and read a spread on Annie Montague Alexander and her early 1900s exploration of wildlife in Alaska. Anyway. Check out this monument.
