Yesterday- over 3k words written no problem. Today- wrote 700 which basically took me in a circle. Why must the words be so… so… AUGH I CAN’T EVEN THINK OF THE RIGHT ADJECTIVE.
Patrick is visiting and we are retiring to the couch.

Different day. Different mug. Same workspace. LET’S WRITE. As disappearing into the words is far more favourable than anything else the world has to offer right now. Anyone else feeling that?

Back in the saddle after a VERY long break. It’s always so hard to get in front of the computer to write but then once I’m there it’s wonderful.

Why does every new writing idea require a fresh unused blank book- like the partially used ones are tainted or something? Is there a support group for this???? #amwriting #author #writer 💙📚

This was a complete-impulse-must-have-no-questions-asked purchase. Zero regrets. ;) #amwriting #tealovers 📚💙

I am going to start putting every Solicitor/Bot who slides into my DM's on blast from now on so other authors can beware. #booksky 📚💙 #authors #writers #screenshotsfordays

Winter has truly made it’s arrival! Now I need to battle the desire to ignore the WIP and start something new that involves snow and winter. ;) I should have prepared better for this!! #amwriting #snowday #winter 💙📚

This tastes like being a teen in the 90s. I swear I took a sip and “Stay” #lisaloeb started playing in my head. Drinking these in art class is a forever memory for me and it’s wild that they’re back. #clearlycanadian #90s

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

The anguished ‘Noooo!!!’ you screech when accidentally hitting ‘Install Now’ on a phone update you absolutely do NOT want to install now. 😩 #ios18.1.1 #itakeitback

For me there is nothing more magical than a mossy landscape… My house came with a mossy corner and I’ve been encouraging it as much as I can. #mossgarden #moss

All my neighbours yards are uniform sheets of white. Mine is a riot of FEET after I lobbed a generous amount of peanuts out for the birds and squirrels. 🥰 #snowday #squirrels #winter #firstsnow

Okay okay… I suppose I can see the merit of tucking into the study today and adding to the word count. ;) First snow! Get the tea and get the cat! #firstsnow #snowday #author #aspiringauthor

Book Hangover is the absolute PITS. I don’t want another book like the one I just read. I want to erase my memory of the book and read it again for the first time! (I am taking suggestions for cozy low stakes fantasy, though!) #booksky 💙📚

The Void does not appreciate that we’re in the unheated upstairs study. It wishes us to please go back downstairs where it’s warm. It is also disgusted with our offering of cushy blankets and prefers to perch uncomfortably upon the rug to show us how terrible we are to it. #cats #blackcats #voidcats

Rainy days, pine trees, lemon ginger tea in abundance and actually FEELING like writing? What is this sorcery… ;) #aspiringauthor #author

The ‘Holiday Guilt’ is mounting. Just opened a package of candy that said ‘Tear and Share With Family!’(note the exclamation point of smuggish joy!) as it’s specified usage. I have absolutely ZERO intention of sharing it my family. I purposely intend to hide it, actually, and keep it for myself. ;)

A rainy November day foists itself upon the (aspiring and irresponsible and feral) author. Do I grit my teeth and bang out the words? Or do I settle in with snacks and books (Goblin like) and call it ‘research’? ;) #author
