So overwhelmed with my teaching work this week I haven’t had the strong start I wanted on my final 30K… or any start. Still editing last few chapters.
Anyone else falling behind? Any teachers out there also struggling through their first novel?

Anyone ever written almost an entire novel in 1st person and then thought.. you know, I think this would work better in close 3rd!?
That’s about where I’m at with my 60K words. 🤪

Against my #pantser nature, I planned out my ENTIRE story this week and only started writing this morning (and I love what I came up with)!
Deadline is tomorrow night and I feel like I’ve got this. 💪 Who is this guy??

I used a redraw on my genre (so scary!) and ended up with something totally out of my comfort zone, but… I’m actually really excited for the challenge! 🎉💪✏️

Happy Friday, all! ✨Just me living the dream over here.
Made it to 59K!! My goal was 60 by the end of next week so I’m ahead of schedule. Going to pause and edit my last few chapters.
What are your editing priorities? My #1 right now is filter words!

Okay #5amwritersclub, does anyone pick back up later in the day? I find it nearly impossible to write after work unless I’m on a tight deadline and banging it out to the Tiesto Club Life podcast… but I feel like I should fix that.

Feeling good about getting back into my novel this morning. New scene and new character developed. #5amwritersclub
Does anyone else feel imposter syndrome start to kick in the moment you lose a writing streak or fall behind on word goals? I've had it bad lately.

Never thought I’d be so proud to march for democracy alongside an inflatable frog, but also… never thought our president would be the greatest threat we’ve faced.
Btw, everyone I met yesterday loves this country. ❤️🇺🇸 And so do I.

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”
@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

So many hopeful takeaways but here’s one still resonating today: We’ve got to see beyond the crisis. What we do NOW moves us past it. Write, rally, vote, love, take action. 🇺🇸❤️

Okay, I may be a proud #pantser BUT writing a bullet point outline two chapters ahead actually helped. Like a lot. I might even try thinking three chapters ahead next… is that cheating? #writingcommunity 📚💙 #5amwritersclub

Just finished a WHOPPING chapter I've been working on for weeks AND passed the 50K mark (and then some). Writing this novel is a #dreamcometrue and the hardest/best thing I've ever done. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity 📚💙 That much closer to my first draft goal of 80K!! 🤩

Haven’t posted in a while, BUT I’ve made *significant* progress in my thesis novel these past few weeks. And kicked off a new school year.
Next step: Figure out how to balance writing, teaching, AND being interesting on #bluesky.
