Working through some writer's block. Just started typing anything and ended up walking my MC into a disastrous date that should open another chapter. Always amazed how that happens. #writing #writingcommunity

Literary group I belong to asked for a short piece referencing food. Pretty sure they were looking for food affected social justice. I sent a humor piece I wrote about an evil chocolatier. Probably won't need to worry about doing a reading. #writing #writingcommunity

Either my cat has been asking me to take her to an indoor cat park (she's really bored), or I'm really tired of winter (me too).

*starts a post* Cat: I want to eat. Pet me while I eat. I can't eat if you don't pet me. *pets cat while she eats* Me: What was I going to post? Just so you know you were all saved from a my idea of humor by my cat.

Glad to know my massive property tax increase will go to a billionaire's stadium. I would hate for it to go for city stuff. "This includes $2.1 billion in projected excess from county and city revenue sources, including the new or increased taxes, existing property taxes..." #Cleveland

OK. It's been a rough week or two for people paying attention to the news. But, time to get on with other parts of life. Back to the novel. After all, my novel is meant to be humorous and with a positive ending. Maybe it will give respite. #writing #writingcommunity

Bad take of the day? This season of Severance has to be the most boring show ever! It's like those days you go to work and the excitement of the day is about how long you can stay in the bathroom stall playing solitaire without anyone noticing. #Severance

I often wonder if there is a market for writing an opening paragraph. I was told I was pretty good at it. Even if it wasn't exactly what people wanted, they could easily redo as needed. So many writers say they have a problem with it. I find it the easiest. #writing #writingcommunity

*reads latest feed* "I just started this novel and got 5,00 words. It's a start" "Writing in the stall at work. Another 3,000 words" me: I just spent two hours and got two sentences in. Woohoo! 🤷 #writing #writingcommunity

Is there a term for working through a necessary chapter where I have no idea where I am going or how I will get there? Like writing, not wronging. Oh yeah. Working. Dammit #writing #writingcommunity

Me, sports fan, likes NBA: "wish they could end the NBA All-star game. It's unwatchable." NBA: "I have just the fix!" NBA adds more All-Star games. Me: "WTF???"
