Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

One thing I hate about being an indie author is doing my own marketing but even I’m impressed with myself for this one 😮‍💨 #booksky

I’ve written more than a thousand words over the past two days on my phone.

When I open my doc on my computer, I freeze.

Back to the phone it is lol

Just a reminder to write today! ✍🏼💙

It doesn’t matter if it’s 1 word or hundreds.

Everything is progress! 💙

I have 1,300 words of my latest short story 😊

It can’t be more than 8,000 (contest rules) so I am feeling good about where I am at so far 🥰

My Lexapro kicks my ass during the day and makes a nap essential to being productive. Too bad that nap time is usually my writing time 🥺

My husband and I are making one with cinder blocks that came with the house when we bought it 🫣

Good luck! You got this 🙌🏻

My thoughts this morning “don’t by a new journal. Just write in google docs, which is better for you anyways. Do not buy new journals. Or new pens. Or more post-it notes. Or new highlighters. Just write the damn thing.”

I’m taking a break to work on a time travel short story lol

A good thing that comes from working on multiple projects is that it gets the ideas moving faster and more consistently!

We got this 💪🏻

Thank you! It’s nerve wracking, but this competition gives feedback if requested so it’s pretty valuable - it’s hard writing for yourself and then putting it out into the world without any idea of if it’s readable 😂

Taking a break from my WIP to work on a short story today 😊

Isn’t it a wonderful thing when you are excited to write? 🥰

I’ve been working on my WIP pretty consistently, but I want to also write some flash fiction/short stories.

I also have ADHD and can’t just fucking chill.

#writersky #writer #writing

Thank you! 😊

I submitted to my first ever writing contest 😳🫣

Submitting is a milestone I get to cross off my list 🙌🏻

Thank you! 🥰

Thank you! 🥰

Wrote my first flash fiction piece. Oh my gosh I’m writing again 🥺🥰

I haven’t really written anything since my early twenties. (I am 30) I thought I had lost it.

Welcome back, old friend.

I’m almost at 19,000 words 😳

Just keep writing - just keep writing - just keep writing

as a writer, i am neither a panster nor a plotter.

i am simply a vibe machine.

I was always too much of a perfectionist to ever get any thing finished, but I decided when I turned 30 (January) that I was just going to write - whatever that was 😊

I have found that my first draft works best as a writing dump where I plan out chapters and scenes

It took a long time to be okay with this - now I have 17,000 words and the urge to actually write 🥰

Does this count as a pallet cleanser? 😅

A “U”-shaped raised garden bed with tilled dirt.

Prepped the garden beds for spring 🌸🌷🌻

Thank you!!

Mine too!!! It’s been so hard, but I’m just trying to get it all out and THEN I get to tweak all I want lol

I have 10,000 words of the first draft of my WIP 🤯

It's more than I've ever had before. I am so proud of myself.

Right? It writes itself 😂
