I hit a wall late last week for #NovelNovember

Reminders to keep going:
Writing is work.
Writing is fun.
Writing gets better with practice.
You're not an imposter.

Tell your inner critic you heard it but it's not welcome. Then? Keep going.

Felt.
i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

My eyes are still wet from crying about this.

Good to have good news.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

💙🎵Does my Bluetooth device make me look like Bon Jovi?

💙😉Please don't show him! There's no comparison!

As someone who was Cruella Deville this Halloween and actually does not admire Disney, I'm pretty sure this rumor that the parks might lay off their villains is another way to distract everyone from actual villains and issues that matter.

Like #SNAP and #foodinsecurity

Now I must have this cheese!
Among Mykonos’ cheeses, Kopanistí stands out as the boldest expression of island identity. Spicy, peppery, and slightly salty, it has been made across the Cyclades for over 300 years, but Mykonos is its spiritual home.

💙⏰️It was a matter of time! I took my usual pre-evening-sprint nap. My alarm went off. I decided to keep sleeping last night.

💙🏃🏼‍♀️Made it up with my planned 7:30am-9:30am #pomodoro sprint today, anyway!

💙✍️🏻We're close to 10k words!

💙📚How's your word count?

My math says hitting 1111 new words each day for 20 of the next 25 days gets me to 30k.

I was going to scale back from my goal this month. My momentum is great so far.

Tonight I rest instead of joining another 7-9pm writing sprint -- I'm a morning person.

Tell me how you wanna spend the last two months if the year.

Breaking from a habit of pacing goals by 12-week chunks, I've got ambitious goals until the end of the year.

What matters is we stay open and as committed as we are capable, day by day.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Agree.

I'm growing concerned. But also reading a lot and writing a lot and letting the Muse show up.
In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

The last line cuts deep.
Opposing aspiring dictators is good.

Not opposing them is bad.

We all knew this until quite recently.
