Don't mind me, just channeling all of my anxiety & helplessness at chaotic life events into writing in order to procrastinate processing my feelings.

Watched Weapons during my time away, it was every bit as enjoyable as I'd hoped. A masterclass in using different threads of POVs to create a tapestry (I love the subtle differences in tone & minute scene changes between each, showing that no one's version can be fully trusted) (no spoilers) --

Does anyone else ever ban themselves from SM while in a writing slump? I was getting too tempted by the daily doom scroll while the words were tougher to find. Back now (in moderation, she tells herself sternly), as the words are wording again.

You can skip the parts of the story that are giving you grief and come back to them.

If you hit a wall, put a sticky note or make a big ol' red text note to come back and MOVE ON.

It's better to keep momentum than to let one roadblock kill your progress when there are detours.

"I think some part of my brain is accepting the fact that I am closer to not having any more than I want to process, and so this time I am determined to suffer through everything if it means I don’t lose today." An excerpt from my non-fic piece, Liminal: medium.com/@haleyadee/l...

The compulsion to start an entirely new story to avoid edits and continued research on querying.

I don't wanna... :(

Not me playing into every horror trope ever by wandering around the house with an x-acto knife and 9-1 dialed on my phone after hearing ooky spooky banging sounds...

If you've ever dealt with a lengthy writer's block, I hope this thread helps. I have had years where very little writing happened. Life happens. The one thing I did that has paid so many dividends is to write down every note, every idea, every weird dream. I've kept every scrap note.

Does anybody else use a mix of pen to paper & computer for writing? I also have an old voice recorder that I use alongside my notes app. I never know where I'm going to be when inspo hits, so I end up with notes EVERYWHERE.

Looking for writer moots: bonus points if you write dark fic, horror, fantasy, sci-fi. Where my head-in-the-clouds weirdos at?

I am SO interested in watching this one. Finally, an entirely new premise! It piques the same curiosity for me as Blair Witch when trailers first started dropping. A new lens, a new POV & also, you KNOW if there's a dog in it, I'm in

Literally ALWAYS. Why can't my brain stay on tense track? 😩

When you're procrastinating edits so hard you create an entire BlueSky profile & tell yourself it's for "reach" purposes. Definitely not so I can doomscroll for the next two hours...
