Whenever I feel myself starting to burnout, I always take a break from writing and recharge my creative batteries.

I'll work on mood boards, make playlists, research, read, play The Sims, watch my favorite comfort shows and/or movies instead.

This is who runs this account...

Fantasy Indies August Question Card. Day 5: Do you tend to write in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

5. Do you tend to write in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

I prefer to write at night, when it's quiet and most of the world is asleep. I'm free to get lost in my fictional fantasy land without dealing with the constant distractions and interruptions.

Exactly!!

Especially when you're looking forward to time off, then the week just drags.😔

Thursday night needs to get here quick, lol 😅

Yesss!!! Which is why I love her.

Can't wait to binge later this week.... 😁

Love her!! I need to catch up on The Gilded Age.

Klaus is very articulate, and he definitely has plenty of life experience.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist.

What could go wrong?😅

This month, I'm hoping to work on my Magic & Medicine WIP (working title), which is a cross between ER & Practical Magic.

That feeling when it's time to put all the pieces of your story together: Pic of Matthew McConaughey (from True Detective, I think) standing over a desk and staring at an assortment of pictures. The Midpoint, All is Lost, The Bad Guys Closing In, The Catalyst, The B Plot, The Climax, The Fun and Games and The Setup.

Congrats!!! 🎊🎉🎊

The best dev editors are not trying to make your book into something they, personally, would have enjoyed more.

The best dev editors see what you were trying to do and tell you where you messed up, so you can make the best version of YOUR book.

It is a rare skill and, as Courtney says, SOLID GOLD.

It's a tie between:

"You came." "You called."

&
"Who did this to you?"

Drinking frozen lattes + listening to music while daydreaming up scenes = my version of writing during this brutal heatwave
