Back from work, trying to write this hot kissing scene with NIN on the airpods and the cat just keeps walking all over the laptop and meowing because she was alone all day. Anyway, my usual 15min and added 410 words!

Writing with a Day job: I finally wrote some actual words this morning (905 words in 30min). It's been 5 weeks now since I lost my mom and I've been completely blocked. But the small "open the manuscript" sessions have helped tremendously. Progress!!!!

When you have so much life admin to deal with on top of a full day teaching.... ugh, that's when the writing just doesn't get done :(
(and oh, I have a book out tomorrow, don't even have the brain space to enjoy it)

Writing with the day job... is just NOT happening today. Teaching is hard y'all. I just can't get started on the writing this morning. Need to decompress from a hard week.

Hey #WritingCommunity, anyone else here squeezing their writing between the demanding day job and equally demanding care tasks for the fam?
Anyway, looks like that's where I'm at now.
Trying to get these pages down and novels out.

Trying hard to fight the Resistance this morning. I SHOULD be writing on my day off work but dang it, that scene is hard!! Squeezed in about 300 word in my first mini 15min session of the day. Hoping for 2-3 more session.

Today's writing was... a little short. I did 2 chapters at 4:30am this morning before working out and I had planned to use my extra hour off work to finish all my chapter clean-up but... I had to choose between the writing or driving to get my new gym membership.
