Here’s a weekend writing prompt: How did this happen? How does the character react? Is the meal ruined? Is it an omen, good or bad, of something to come? #writingprompts #writingcommunity #eggs #amwriting

Reposting for myself really. I don’t want to lose these recommendations, but bonus points if someone else needed to know the Irish writers.

It’s not in M-W on my phone, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a word, and I love this word: Confelicity.
How do you find joy in others’ happiness and success?
I enjoy giving high-fives, verbal praise, and sharing their posts.

Good morning.
Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

I promised some of my joys. I hope you’ll agree that getting an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Writer’s Digest Competition is worthy of a smile. This is for the first chapter of my novel-in-progress, a YA fantasy.

It’s been a year full of distractions. I’m here. I’m well…well, as well as I can be given the rough year. I plan to get active again. I plan to share my writing joys and struggles. If you’ve followed me, thank you! I’ll catch up with follows son.

#introverthangover is real. I’m exhausted from last night’s event. Drove home this morning. Tonight, I have a two-hour Zoom workshop. Tomorrow, I teach all day and go to an Author’s Guild event. Friday morning I go for blood work. Saturday, I go to an event. Sunday, I will be in bed all day.

A lovely evening listening to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com in Venice, Florida. Great stories. Great advice. Wonderful man. Too many wonderful lines to share, so I’ll pick this one: “There are no adults.” (because we all have imposter syndrome). With @arinard.bsky.social

A day of standing in lines and sitting in a room of a hundred-plus strangers. Nothing like reporting for #juryduty for a third time. The question remains: will I be selected this time or will I be sent home? Is the third truly the charm?

Next Wednesday will be here before I’m ready. I’m prepared, just not ready. But I’ll be steady on stage.
Q: What’s a few questions and a discussion about #flashfiction with my writing buddy, the talented @arinard.bsky.social?
A: A lot of fun!

This book sucked me in w/ all the force of a sperm whale sucking in the main character: “The sucking force pulls his tendons, bone-ends eight-balling into sockets.” (93) Excellent scientific research and exquisite writing. Dive inside one of the largest mammals! #whalefall #greatbooks #booklover

I spent the day researching agencies and agents. I have a plan for ranking them, but then…how many to send in each wave? What’s a good gap between waves of queries? Thoughts? Advice? Hello? #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslife

No dolphins this morning, but I had a great walk (not too hot for a change!), and I’m building my list of agents to query.
I hope your Wednesday Wish came true, and if not, that you had a good day.

I enjoy the iPad app, but my emoji keyboard doesn’t work :-( Any one else have this issue and/or a solution or a work around? I don’t do a lot of social media on my desktop, so would love my silly emoji faces to work on the iPad. #noemojis #minorproblem #blueskynovice

Watching The Irregulars last night, this line has stuck with me: “He’s a broken, old man trapped in his memories.” (Episode 5).
What lines from books, movies, or TV shows have resonated with you?
