Fact: The President of the United States has a worse criminal record than 99% of the people he is deporting.

Thank you!! It’s a roller coaster of a process but hey, that’s the fun of it right?! Wishing you the best!

You’re not “bad at writing” because your first draft feels clunky.

You’re just thinking on paper.
Refining comes later. That’s what revision is for.

Keep going. You’re doing it right.

That chapter you keep rewriting?
It’s not because you’re bad at this.
It’s because it matters.

Refining is not flailing.
You’re getting closer every time.

How to be a Writer, #28367:
Look for perfect notebook in which to write new idea
Peruse collection of roughly 20,000 unused notebooks
Decide they are all too pretty to use
Buy new (plain black, Moleskine) notebook
Write idea on laptop
Tea

This is the summer I write a novel. Today is day one! Posting for accountability and community. #romancewriter #writersofbluesky

4 day weekend 🤝 my mental health

Hahaha reminds me of the “bratwurst” scene from 10 Things I Hate About You movie

100% agree! Used to have the playlist in my iPod nano 🙈

Just another reason to keep trying and improving!

Adopted my pup from here. Walking through the rows of cages was devastating. So many good boys and girls need homes at these shelters. #adoptdontshop

Feeling discouraged because I wasn’t chosen for a novel writing class in my MA program. I can try again next time it’s offered though.
Until then I’ll keep pushing! #writersky #5amwritersclub

Pup has been taken out, tea has been made… let’s do thing! Just outlining today. #5amwritersclub

Alarm is set! Trying out #5amwritersclub tomorrow. Send good vibes! Good night 😴

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

🌟 May the Paws Be With You! 🌟
Join us Sat, May 17 for an out-of-this-galaxy adoption event! 🚀
🐾 Fees waived for all pets

Gotta show them both sides of your hand otherwise they don’t believe you

If I’m on a creative streak yes, but lately I’ve been so tired it’s hard to write. Waiting for the creative wave to hit again
