Everyone do yourselves a favor and get yourselves some beta readers who are as honest, supportive, and serious about the craft as @katevwrites.bsky.social @aswiftauthor.bsky.social @alexishatcher.bsky.social @jgiordano.bsky.social & @giannagirone.bsky.social Day 15 #revpitwaiting

This first writing sprint was started (and finished) from the comfort of bed. V unsure how good the words were, feels like I was sleepsprinting 😴🏃🏻‍♀️ #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

13 hours later and I’ve submitted my 100 words for the @nycmidnight.bsky.social microfiction challenge ! 😮‍💨 And thank god for @aswiftauthor.bsky.social + @alexishatcher.bsky.social for support, non-judgment, and tolerance of my antics 🫠 I’ve never felt more annoying or loved #writingcommunity

Anyone else have trouble sleeping waiting for the @nycmidnight.bsky.social challenge to start? 🙋🏻‍♀️ #writingcommunity

Accidentally used my work computer to do a Google search for my new WIP. 😬 Counting the minutes till HR emails asking why I’m looking for “how quickly bodies decompose if not embalmed”? 👀 💀 #writingcommunity

Early morning drafting thoughts: At what point does a writing sprint become a writing long run? 30 min? 45? 🏃🏻‍♀️⏳ #5amwritersclub

SIX OF CROWS X ARCANE How to fight a Chaos storm caused by the overuse of magic? Sanjiin’s fists won’t help. Neither will Rayna’s Chaos. But together, Prof. Tinley believes science can be the glue to bind enemies and magical forces to save the last Haven city from itself. #A #F #LuckyPit #PopUpPit

My keyboard didn’t call loud enough 😭 #8amwritersclub

The bed was warm but the keyboard was calling ✍️ #5amwritersclub

Spent my morning reading Sicilian fairy tales and called it “research” 😏 #amdrafting
