Me: VDP saving my mental and creative space this morning
Muse: Yeah, you need some mental help
Me: Be nice... It's the best I can do right now
Muse: I was being nice. You need mental safety
Me: True... Let's find that together

Love you 💜

Me: Fuck, think I'm getting sick
Muse: Seriously?
Me: Yeah, between this crazy "not winter but winter" weather and stress, my body is saying "Hell no" today
Muse: Okay, back to bed
Me: Yep

Love you 💜

Me: More time blocking today
Muse: You seem more energized this morning
Me: No clue why, but I'm going to use it to my advantage
Muse: Just as long as you don't expect me to be the same
Me: Like that's ever going to happen

Love you 💜

Accountability post... So, time blocking is hard for this #AuADHD brain. I worked on my outline because I've got some more worldbuilding to do. Hoping to get actual words on the page tomorrow during my scheduled blocks.

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: We're time blocking today
Muse: Oh? What's that supposed to do?
Me: Keep my #AuADHD brain focused on one task
Muse: Good luck with that... squirrel!
Me: Funny. Not going to work.
Muse: Here's that book...
Me: Fuck...

Love you 💜

Accountability post... Worked late which I really didn't want to do on my first day back at work. Really hope this is not going to set the tone for the rest of the year.

Me: I should have taken today off, too 😫
Muse: Yep 🙂
Me: But it'll be pretty quiet, so I can get a few things caught up 💪
Muse: Sure 🙂
Me: You don't sound convinced 🤔
Muse: I'm still on vacation until Monday 🙂
Me: 🙄

Love you 💜

Accountability post... Worked on the #WIP today (~450 words) which has been restarted from the new outline. Putting my new #transform2026 into action today.

Unfortunately, back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to that at all.

#writersky #writingcommunity #SFR

Thank you! I found that picking a thematic word for the new year is far more effective than any resolution 😁 and it's broadly adaptable to my writing, work life, and personal life.

GM #5amwritersclub

Happy New Year! Last year's word #consistency2025 instilled the habit of writing.

This year, I want to be intentional again with #transform2026 and see what changes I can affect in my life.

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: Getting a late start
Muse: What're we doing today?
Me: Working on my resume probably
Muse: Ugh, aren't you on vacation now?
Me: I want to take a permanent vacation from my current job

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: So, we really didn't sleep last night
Muse: I tried, but your brain kept going over plot points
Me: The plotting and story arc classes really got me thinking about what to write
Muse: Ugh, yeah, we're RE-WRITING now

Love you💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Thank you! 💜 It was necessary! I'm a stubborn #pantser but I got a couple of writing workshops for Christmas which showed me different ways of outlining that helped tremendously with figuring out my story!

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Went back to the #WIP outline today and reworked some things. Ultimately, I'm going to be starting over with the draft because so much has changed 😩 However, I think the changes are for the better, so here we go.

#writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: Merry Christmas everyone!
Muse: Yup, Merry Christmas!
Me: Cracking open the #WIP today. Wish me luck 🤞
Muse: *cracks knuckles* Let's do this!

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #giftsforyourself

Accountability post... Nothing much accomplished today apart from running a couple of errands. Tomorrow, I'm writing on the #WIP as that's my Christmas gift to myself.

#writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: Wishing you and yours all the best for this holiday season!
Muse: May you enjoy good health, experience all kinds of happiness, and receive much joy!
Me & Muse: Happy Holidays everyone!

🎁☃️🎅🎄🤶☃️🎁

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Thanks! I'm hoping to get some words done on the #WIP either today or tomorrow. My little holiday present for myself 😀 Wish you and yours all the best for the holidays!

Accountability post... studied some more today. Need to get some errands done tomorrow that I keep putting off. Finished my current journal as well, so I get to start a new one tomorrow!

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: It's Tuesday
Muse: Uh, yeah, and?
Me: Just an observation
Muse: Okay...
Me: I'm hoping to motivate myself
Muse: Is it working?
Me: Not a damned bit

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #vacation

Accountability post... Lack of sleep messed with my creativity today, but I did manage some short scenes to the tune of about ~1500 total words.

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub

Muse: The fuck are we doing up?
Me: Sleep was — uncooperative
Muse: 😩 I was having a good dream
Me: I was staring at the ceiling — producing nightmares
Muse: Fine. Fine. So, what've we got
Me: We start with curse journaling

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Worked on some professional courses and updated my resume. Gotta schedule professional and personal development time in addition to creative writing. My 2026 is shaping up to be incredibly busy.

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: Fuck, overslept this morning
Muse: Could have slept longer...
Me: Yeah, but my brain had some ideas I wanted to write down
Muse: #adhdbrain gonna do what it wants when it wants
Me: Yep, and for once we're in agreement

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Been writing little snippets off and on all day. Probably wrote ~2000 words. Short reps to get the mental muscles flexing again.

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

Don't worry if the void screams back - it's probably me raging from the other side 😂

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: I think I need to recharge the batteries
Muse: And refill the word well
Me: Yeah, that too
Muse: And you've got a doctor appointment later
Me: Oh, right, I almost forgot
Muse: Fuck you needed this vacation
Me: I know

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR

Accountability post... Crashing early today as my brain is mush. Will see what tomorrow brings, but optimistic for good things to happen.

#writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR #consistency2025

GM #5amwritersclub

Me: Last day of work this year
Muse: Hell yeah!
Me: Then me and you are going to hang out
Muse: Hell yeah!
Me: And I'm going to try to get some writing on the #WIP done
Muse: Hell yeah!
Me: Hell yeah!

Love you 💜

#writersky #writingcommunity #SFR #vacation

Accountability post... One more day and then I'll have some time off. I really need this break. Especially after working late every night this week.
