Good morning, #5amwritersclub

When I began writing this novel, I asked my Facebook friends to name one of my characters.

A very funny friend from high school suggested Dogwood McDougal. He was kidding.

He has since passed. Came across the name while editing. πŸ™‚β˜ΉοΈ
Glad I used it. βœοΈβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

This word is perfect for a description of something in Chapter 1 that I can’t say what it is because you know why. πŸ€“

So, in other words, this post is pointless. 😬

Have a great Tuesday!

I retired early from teaching in 2018 after our county implemented a new policy where teachers still went in when school was called off for the cold while students worked at home on their β€œpacket.” I thought it was ridiculous and left that November.

It’s been a while. I haven’t been writing. I don’t know why. So, I made a New Year’s resolution to write every day, but I didn’t open my manuscript until today.
Better late than never, right? Hope to be here more often in 2026. I missed you guys!

I’m into genealogy, so many of my names are in my family tree that I have traced back to the 1600’s. Main character Anjanetta is actually a great-grandmother.

Ok, I’ll admit it was a poor choice of words. I’d never β€œroot” for her. But, I am delighted they are going after each other. 🍿 I loathe both of them, but the lesser of the two evils right now is MTG.

I must be missing something. I believe Schumer knew the GOP would reject his offer. With that and Trump appealing the decision to release SNAP benefits, this is looking bad for Republicans.
Schumer did a good thing here.

Editing a lot lately.

I should give myself the nickname, β€œFat fingers.” I can’t hit the right letters anymore. I need a bigger phone.

I mistakenly typed β€œHappy Buttday” to a Facebook friend.
The β€œu” is next to the β€œi,” β€œr” next to β€œt,” but how did I omit β€œh”? πŸ™„πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
