Tonight was the last class of my writing workshop at the Cumberland Museum and WOW! We have some spectacularly creative people in this place. It’s been AMAZING!!!!!

Let’s talk writing! Settings! The little rituals that get the creativity flowing… This was such a fun interview. Thanks Sharon! www.mixcloud.com/cvox/sharon-...

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

Asking people if they wanna see a cool rock you found is so important, because that’s the best way to know if you should invite them into your blanket fort to look at the Guinness book of world records

The view in the swamp. It’s COLD out there, but luckily I have a warm office, a warm blanket, and a warm cup of coffee to keep me comfy while writing. ♥️

70% of my brain right now is just repeating “war is no time for soft cheezies” over and over again

Just a regular reminder, be punk as fuck

A really good solid day of working on my next novel, researching facts and writing sentences. I’m now lying on the couch in a brain-weary heap, knowing more about 1920s automobile repair than I ever though possible.

Frosty close-up.

The view in the swamp today. Crisp and frosty!

Any writer who thinks using generative AI for "transitions" and other things that "don't matter" has a fundamental misunderstanding of both the art and craft of writing.

New dispatch from the island at kimbannerman.substack.com Hurray!

Hey peeps, congruent with my interests, you, too, can fill out "The Great Viking Survey" (done by a Norwegian institution so this is legit). Basically they are trying to figure out the balance of facts vs misconceptions people have based on modern media portrayals nettskjema.no/a/viking#/pa...

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

A full day of researching the places that appear in my next novel, walking through alleyways, feeling the cold wind on my face and eating cupcakes.
