This morning's research question: Can speedometers melt?

(Yet another piece of information I never thought I'd need to write a book)

Thoroughly enjoying @bookriot.bsky.social's new podcast, Zero to Well-Read. Revisiting school-assigned classics with the lens of adulthood makes for a wild (and fun) ride, especially with Jeff and Rebecca at the helm.

Having one of those writing days where I’m wondering: Is any of this actually good?

And thus is the writer’s life.

Still thinking about the masterpiece that is Katie Kitamura's Audition and remembered there's a First Edition interview with her...thank goodness for @bookriot.bsky.social and their fantastic podcasts.

Ever wondered how much clouds weigh? These are the kinds of things I end up researching while I write…

Join in on this month's #WriteCBC fun!
It’s strange, I think, how the parchment is torn along the seam. Too tidy, too predictable. Why not along the river, cast with wide and messy brush strokes? Why not among the bleeding clouds? Why must this tear be so straightforward when all else he’s left behind is not? #WriteCBC

Noticing that I'm using "smirk" a lot in my writing these days...which words do you tend to overuse? #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky #WIPSky

Morning pages with this gorgeous view. Only problem? Now I want to ditch the writing and go outside #SkyWrites #WritingSky #AmWritingSky

One of my favorite @bookriot.bsky.social podcasts to date is the below-linked interview with Marie-Helene Bertino. Well researched, thoughtful, and insightful.

And now I'm curious...which of her books is your favorite?

If @merriam-webster.com is looking for new content, I just learned that I've been mispronouncing and misspelling "amphitheater" my entire life #writingcommunity #booksky

Another month, another fantastic #WriteCBC prompt from @cbcreative.bsky.social and author @abigailj.bsky.social. What secret will your character discover?
Cobwebs cling to my face as I peer in the attic, dust suspended in faded light. I see it there—wing bent, talons wrapped in cloth—cradled against her body. “Syd?” I ask, remaining calm and steady, unsure of why this creature lay in my daughter’s arms. “I thought you had gone for help...” #WriteCBC

Did I just listen to the same song on repeat during today’s writing session? Yes, yes I did. #writingcommunity #booksky

My #WriteCBC submission is in for this month - I can't wait to read yours!
Saliva, tepid and viscous, drips onto my face from above. I instinctively go to close my eyes, only to realize they’re already shut. It’s grainy, this saliva, still carrying remnants of a meal. And I wonder: Is supper over, or has the feeding just begun? #WriteCBC
