It's a snow day here in the North East. What's everyone writing?

I keep being disturbed by Brontë's head popping up over my laptop, wanting to go outside to play, and eat snow. So far, only one chapter has been edited.

Happy snowy Thursday everyone.

First post in ages due to ill health.
It's been a slog, but I'm getting there.
This beauty 👇 arrived this afternoon to cheer me up, courtesy of Mr D (not Mr Darcy - hubby).
Can't put it down @rachelparris.bsky.social ❤️ 📖 ❤️

Final research for a short story today.
Had to double check the lay of the land.

July weather= scarf and bobble hat here in the Northeast. Not complaining, love the cooler weather.

We bought Brontë a new cool mat to help with the current heatwave.

She prefers her spot next to wherever I'm working, which today is in the dining room.

Love this pup 💗

The isolation of writing can be overwhelming. It's at these times that I remind myself why I write. Why I chose this path. Why it's important to have my voice heard. Why writing is a part of me.

Believe your worth.

After a morning tidying my office/studio two things have become apparent:
1. I am a bibliophile (I knew this anyway)
2. I have a serious yarn addiction 🤔

My studio cupboard is meant to house finished Paintings, it's now a hanging yarn to do list.

Note to self: Get up from your laptop when you hear the post being delivered.

Let's hope it wasn't important 🙄

Brontë is going through the teething stage, nothing is off limits for chewing.

I was disappointed to receive a rejection for a piece I'd worked so hard on. Reading the email again It's very positive. No I didn't win, but I did receive a highly commended from the judges. Considering this was a prestigious field, I know I'm on the right path.

Looking through a notebook from 2007, I came across a folded piece of paper with the outline for a story. In biro I'd drawn a cross through the whole page. But I kept it 🤔
This morning I created a short story from the page.

One of my daily quotes, to remind myself to get out of my own way.

Thought it might resonate with others.

As I was staring at my laptop writing my husband and pup were out in nature walking.

Next week I'm changing my 5 am writing stint to start later until the dark mornings return in autumn.

My 5 am writing slot was used for mindfulness this morning.

The sky was heavy with clouds covering the sun, and the air was chilly.

Perfect for mulling over who to kill off next.

Happy Thursday writers 🖋️

In 2021 I made a commitment to stop masking. It didn't work, people were horrible. The UK appears full of ignorance regarding AuDhd, which saddens me. Please remember -
It's not a disease, you can't catch it. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

I made my 5 am alarm, but instead of writing I had a short walk to focus my mind.

My AuDhd brain is all the better for it, and so far 500 words have hit the page 😊

Happy writing. Happy Tuesday.

Be Kind To Your Mind.

14 weeks 3 days - our beautiful girl Brontë ❤️

6 weeks of her waking at 05:04 am each day has meant a very productive few weeks.
My WIP is shaping up well.

2 more days and she can venture out into the outside world. Let the fun begin ❤️

It would be all too easy to switch off or become desensitised to the constant overwhelming scenes unfolding around the world.
We must keep our eyes open.
Looking for inspiration and hope, I pulled a quote from my writers jar
A sign perhaps?

Does anyone else who's ND have to do this, cram read their book club's chosen novel because they totally forgot the date of the meeting which is now super close.
Every month! 🤬 It's even in my diary, on my wall planner & the kitchen calendar. Note to self: use said planners.

Not been posting for a while as recovery is slow. However, I've managed ten minutes standing on the beach filling my lungs with fresh sea air this morning.

No #Bluesky but the reflections reminded me to be grateful for the moment and to be present everyday.
