Piper keeps me company while I am working but she also makes it impossible to sit ergonomically at my desk. She’s 13 now so she gets what she wants at the expense of my back. 😂

What kind of notes do you write yourself while writing?
My weird note of the day is - "he may need a new name because he isn't poisonous"
?? This is a human person. No one in this story is poisonous?? I'll be spending the next hour trying to decipher that one.

When I wrote my first novel (which will NEVER see the light of day) I very quickly got in over my head in keeping up with vast amount of information I was creating. I have a better system now to keep up with everything, but I want to know 🧵

One tiny spark of joy can turn into an unbreakable flame.
You are allowed to feel joy.
Yes, even now.
Joy is resistance.

Continuing the conversation on resources: there are plenty. Well, of most things. The resources that are actually limited would benefit from society coming together to fix issues. Like climate change.

Writing is a lonely game. Don’t isolate yourself from the people who understand most. Ideas are not a limited resource and there’s plenty of readers to go around.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. #766: Writing is a community. Participate in it if you can. Engage with other writers. Lift them up, and they’ll do the same. Try to go it alone, or treat other writers as rivals, and you’re more likely to sink than swim.

I was able to really dig in to my next writing project today as well as get some freelance work done. Which means I wasn’t on socials as much. And you know what? I feel better.
Fuck.

How To Be a Writer, #111:
Open laptop
Look into the void
Scream into the void
Consider that maybe the void also sometimes feels this way about you
Ask the void if it takes milk
Choose a nice mug for the void
And maybe a chocolate biscuit
Lose yourself in the void
Tea
