Unfortunately, I am sick today. However, I am fortunate that I can now spend most of the day writing and working on my novel. I see this as an absolute win. #sick #AmWriting #writing #writingcommunity

Does anyone else write their ideas/notes for your future self as if you were writing a step-by-step chore list for a 5 year old? I am so condescending to myself. #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writing

My wife just came to me with two different books. She asked if she should read the book about demons and romance or the one about demons and romance... These are the tough choices people! #amwriting #reading ##WritingCommunity ##romantasy #toughchoices

Whenever my wife is tired on a long road trip, she recommends that I listen to "Writing Excuses" or Brandon Sanderson's "On Writing" so that it'll make her fall asleep. It's a win-win, honestly! I get to listen to a great podcast and she gets a lullaby. #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writingexcuses

Trying to enforce a rule with myself where I can't think or plan my next idea until I've finished the current WIP... So, anyway, I am currently breaking that rule. #amwriting ##WritingCommunity #writing

"I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, mountians, and then find somewhere to rest"
What I wouldn't give to hike in the Rocky Mountains or in the Scottish Highlands again, so that "I might find somewhere where I can finish my book-"

Sometimes I get the motivation to go out on a walk for some fresh air and to think about my current WIP. However, it's that first step outside where that motivation dissipates. Feels like 106°... I guess I will pace back and forth inside. #toohot #hot #stillwritingtho #writing #writer #wip #exercise

As an author or writer, one of the hardest things for me is to get up and write early(5am), but it is also one of the best feelings to have when you are done writing for the day. - Wrtr #amwriting #Writing. ~Any extra writing during the rest of the day then just feels amazing. #author #writer

I was going through a box that contained all of my writing papers and notebooks from when I was younger... and wow! I borrowed from Skyrim and Lord of the Rings severely and shamlessly. I guess we all have to start somewhere. #memories #writing #writer #noshame #skyrim #lordoftherings

With all this moving into the new house, I've been slacking in my writing and lacking motivation. So, tonight, I'm going to begin 'Writing Tools' by Roy Peter Clark to help get me back into the swing of things.Can anyone recommend good reads for a struggling writer? #writing #writer #struggle #tired

A full month hiatus from writing has me desperate to get back into the swing of things. BUT, that hiatus was not for nothing; helped my grandparents move AND I bought a house, with a dedicated study room. Feeling achieved and excited for what's next! #writing #gettingbackintoit #writers #excited

Me everyday after work! The brain stops braining when I get home unfortunately #writingproblems #writing #writer

The Stanley Cup playoffs are proving to be quite the distraction... don't they understand I have a writing schedule to adhere to?... (in theory) #stanleycup #writing #notwriting #selfmadedistractions #stayfocused #writingcommunity

Struggling to stay on track with my current WIP when a new and exciting idea has been nagging away at me. #stayfocused #writingproblems #writing

Sometimes as an #author, we need to put away our stories for a little bit to ferment, to grow, as we write them. We just aren't ready yet to write/finish certain areas until we grow. So we put them away to come back to them and to write them correct when we are. - Wrtr #amwriting #Writing #writer

When the ideas start coming and they don't stop coming! #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #smashmouth #theoffice #doublereference

I try to allot three hours a day after work solely on writing. I find that the hardest challenge isn't writing itself, but getting the gumption to get started after a long day. If I could write full-time, I'd be living the dream! #almostwriting #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #gettingthere

My first post on Blue Sky. I did this instead of writing my novel. The lengths I go through to procrastinate my own success. Am I even Blue Skying right? I don't know 💁‍♂️
