That's a wrap...on this draft, anyway. Time to put away the paranormal and get cozy for a little while. For the #WriteBraveChallenge I will be working on the sweet romance story I outlined for the last WBC. Follow @SeeBridgetWrite on IG for updates.

Weekday writing?? Yup, brought my laptop to work for some lunch hour writing sessions this week. Getting closer to the (draft) finish line. #amwriting

And now for the accurate Week 10 update! Broke the 40K mark, which is very exciting for a "minimalist" writer like myself, who struggles with meeting the genre expectations of word counts. Still plenty of work to do. #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #writingcommunity #writerslife #blueskywriters

Oops! I forgot to update my word count from week 8 to week 9, d'oh! So, at the end of week 9 (8/15) we were actually at 39,801. Past the halfway mark! #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #blueskywriters #writingcommunity #writerslife

Took a break and now it's back to the grind! Writing into uncharted territory now, adding new scenes to amp up the tension. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #thehauntedcelt

Last week? Yeah, I accomplished nothing. It happens. As writers, we can't get in the habit of beating ourselves up when we don't write. What we CAN do is get back to it. #amwriting #blueskywriters #getwriting

How did I up my word count by 20K in one week?? By inserting all the 3rd draft material that is being kept into the final ("final") draft 😄#amwriting #amediting #thehauntedcelt #writinglife #writingcommunity #halfwaythere #skywriters

Adventures in editing continue. Is it really just "editing" when you've rebuilt your protagonist, reintroduced a previously cut character, and reframed the whole inciting indecent? #thehauntedcelt #amwriting #amediting #isthereanybodyoutthere #writerslife #skywriters

“Nobody could have seen this coming.”
In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.

Finally got to watch this absolute masterpiece last night and am spending the day reading/watching all the analysis I avoided so it wouldn't be spoiled 😄 There are so many layers of brilliant storytelling in this film. #sinnersmovie

They pass this crap #budget but a lot of the effects won't be felt right away. This is intentional. People who are outraged now will be dismissed as alarmist when nothing happens immediately. The really bad stuff will happen after 2026 & they'll shift blame to newly elected democrats. Dont forget.

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.”
On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice.
Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

There's a lot of disinformation out there. When you read about something that's happened look for multiple reliable sources to verify.

Fact-checking misinformation about the LA protests
Protests against federal immigration raids in Los Angeles have fueled misleading social media posts, including several instances of unrelated videos being mislabeled or shared out of context.
