Time blindness?
Feels like that quote from my WIP...

I was happy to share some tips to try and combat it on Very Well Mind. Take your time reading! 😉

And Emma?
News of the book - first on my website, kessem.com! 🤗
A quote from Adva Shaviv's cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD (more on kessem.com): Ouch! The bottle fell on Emma's toe, popping the bubble. How long had she stood watching it? What time was it? Probably too late - that was usually it. A woman lying on the grass with a clock covering her face. Text: If you're always late, your time personality might be to blame.

I'm compiling a list of resources for reading with ADHD for my community, The Cozy Reading with ADHD Club (bit.ly/readADHD).
These could be YouTube channels, blogs, podcasts - anything helpful/ of interest for readers with ADHD!
Know of any, or have one yourself? Please let me know!❤️

What visually represents ADHD for you?
(Yes, I need help rebranding my website
😅)
Of course squirrels come to mind, and I should think a roller coaster, too. But is there anything else you might see and immediately think "ADHD"?

It's my birthday! 😁
As it merges with the best holiday (Purim! 🥳 ), I decided to celebrate by sharing my favorite recipe for Hamantaschen which are *delicious* cookies.
Here it is: added.kessem.com/2024/03/its-...
hamantaschen, which are triangle cookies filled with various sweet fillings.

I finally did it!!
Printed and bound my book for a final read before giving to an editor 🥳🥳🥳

My work-in-progress novel is a cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD. The free prequel is already written! See kessem.com ✨😍

Happy ADHD awareness month! 🥳
My novel is a cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD. Therefore, a lot of the characters, events. interactions and other elements are... less than typical. Here's an example:
Screenshot of my Tumblr post: Happy ADHD awareness month! My favorite lines of today from my WIP: - Nice to meet you, Berman, brightened the woman, looking kindly at the rest of them. Berman huffed, rolled his eyes and was gone. Still there, physically—just a growling distance away—but safely enclosed within a refusal pose. End of quote. I often wish I could do that, too, when I don't have enough mental energy to talk to new people. Or to ones I already know. Can you relate?...

Co-writing is so much fun! 😁
Title: Typing with a cat. Quote from my WIP: -Well, you’re not looking at me. Oh. Oh, that. People taking offense by Alice shielding herself from their impaling eyes, invading the inside of her mind, taking over vbbbbbbb it. -She actually listens better when she doesn’t look people in the eyes. Below the quote, a black and white cat resting on an open laptop.
