For those that use a pen name for your writing, what's you're individual reason for that choice?

Never forget: thinking time is writing time. You’re a goddamned creative genius, not a typing machine. It’s all work. Let your brain juices flow.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Don't forget that writing is your happy place. Don't drive it into the dirt. #writer #writingcommunity

My kids decided they wanted me to read a chapter of MY book to them every night before bedtime. Seeing their faces fill with wonder hearing my words tonight is more validation than I will ever need in my life. #writer #author #writingcommunity #lostintheshadows

Dear @bsky.app
300 characters is not enough for me to express what's in my heart. Please give me a little more room for creativity. There are 2000 characters allowed for the alt text for gifs...

My fave skill building tool is what I call sketching- writing a moment in time to practice the craft & to pull that memory later and plug into a finished piece (like an artist sketching). We went to the Atl Airport (i did a bit of people watching). & on a hike I got some nature descriptions

I saw a squirrel fattening up for winter. This morning, we picked up my husband's best friend from the airport and then took him to one of our favorite waterfalls. I went to the bottom of the falls this time and found the water full of river snails! Sorry no pics. I was too into it 🤣 #getoutside

Writing a novel is 99.9% doom scrolling and .1% writing. 🤣

My daughter was diagnosed with covid and pneumonia today. Along with Dr visits and chest xrays, I still had laundry, dishes, dinner, and work to handle. I managed to find time to daydream and put another 1000 words into "It's Not That Serious" but I need a nap #prayforhealing #writerslife #writer
