Cozy the Day Away logo: a cartoon of a blue axolotl reading a purple book, sitting in a large pink armchair surrounded by piles of books, with one stack topped by a curled up sleeping cat and another by a cup of tea. The words Cozy the Day Away Sale are written in a curve over the top of the armchair.

Hi!

You're invited! Link in bio 😍

Happy to connect with other -
readers,
authors,
bloggers,
book people,
ADHD people,
and anyone who likes meeting new people! ✨

A quote from Adva Shaviv's cozy fantasy inspired by ADHD (more on kessem.com): Ouch! The bottle fell on Emma's toe, popping the bubble. How long had she stood watching it? What time was it? Probably too late - that was usually it.

A woman lying on the grass with a clock covering her face. Text: If you're always late, your time personality might be to blame.

Time blindness?
Feels like that quote from my WIP...

I was happy to share some tips to try and combat it on Very Well Mind. Take your time reading! 😉

And Emma?
News of the book - first on my website, kessem.com! 🤗

You... just defined (one aspect of) ADHD 🤷‍♀️

That's a great way to frame it! 🔥

The "you'll never know less than you do now" is the part that usually blocks me. I fall into a rabbit hole of obssessive research which (by definition) never ends... 😵‍💫

Ohh that's a great one 👍👍
Thanks!

I haven't heard about this particular person but yes, we get "unfair advantage" all the time! That's why we struggle so much 😤

Absolutely, autistic/ AuDHD people get it too - all NDs. Just to make our lives more interesting... 😜

In the chapter I'm (re)writing, a character expresses common misconceptions about ADHD. Such as:

- Women and girls don't have it
- If you can do something sometimes, you can do it always
- "Everyone is a little ADHD"

What are others you've come across?

Choosing one is mine 😉😁

Shiny is best. I believe the whole world should be covered with glitter 😁

Ohh, love this! I love magpies 😍
Thank you!

What visually represents ADHD for you?
(Yes, I need help rebranding my website
😅)
Of course squirrels come to mind, and I should think a roller coaster, too. But is there anything else you might see and immediately think "ADHD"?

#ADHD

Thank you!

After beta readers, rewrites, dev edit, fixing last things before line/ copy edit... and can't get to the finish line.

Got up at 6:00 AM, sat at my laptop doing nothing for 2 hours.

Ugh.

So, trying a daily report for self-accountability.

Wish me luck!

Also, tips are welcome 😊

Oops... ADHD timing 😁

Happy birthday! 🥳

Once again woke up late and exhausted after waking up in the middle of the night, spending over 2 hours trying to fall back asleep, eventually falling into a dream-crazed sleep in the early morning and ending up thus.

Anyone has tips that actually work? 😵
