Good morning from Chicago, #5amwritersclub ☕️

It’s been a very busy week of travel for me, but I’m up early to get some work done before my book signing today.

How has everyone been? What are you working on this morning?

Good morning from my writers retreat weekend 📚🖤 It’s a beautiful morning and I’ve gotten some words in while it’s nice and quiet.

I missed #5amwritersclub today, but sleeping in for a change was lovely.

Woo-hoo! Managed to wrap up a chapter in my WIP and am starting work on the next. For those of you doing a writing challenge this month, have you met any of your daily goals today?

Hello! I’m Dorian, an author of dark fiction, and this is my 18th consecutive year doing a November writing challenge 😱

My WIP is a coming-of-age grief story set in the PNW. I’m not planning on doing the usual 50k in 30 days; I just want to get through the AUTUMN segment this month.

#WriteSky
#Writevember begins!

Let's start with who you are, the WIP you'll be working on this month, and your writing goal. Answer the prompt on the card by quoting this post.

Grief, guilt, and learning to cope with and live with them are the central themes in my WIP. It’s heavy on generational trauma and learning to let go and move on and not let the past define you.
