I hope we all intend to keep this tradition from the old place alive and well here 🎄✨

My (game) writing tip o' the day is

You gotta learn to love your own writing. No iffybuts. No doubtysads. Loved writing reads so much nicer

Plus. by loving your own writing, you'll be able to spot issues in your writing. After all, the first editor is you

Your work deserves love, whatever stage

Jólabókaflóð is the Icelandic tradition of giving books as gifts and spending Christmas Eve reading. Another reason to love Iceland. 💙📚

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

"My writing process is not broken."

Didn't do Nanowrimo this year because it was mid November before I realized we were in Nano month🤭. Nine years ago was my first, and it was beautiful to behold my first finished draft. It gave me the satisfaction of knowing I could do it.

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (19th century): one who pays great attention to trivial matters as a way of avoiding the important ones.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

I wrote around 4,000 words last week. That's not nearly enough to where I want to be, but it's a start to my new routine. Little by little, word by word, day by day.

What to do when you have multiple WIP at different stages of writing in different genres and you're very indecisive? 🫣

I gave up my full-time job to do this authoring thing. Here's to hopes and dreams and the pursuit of the written word!
