Does anyone else day dream fan-fic? Just drop one of your favorite characters into a TV show or movie and watch them take off on their own story line? Or am I just weird?

My body woke me up at 5 am for writing time. It's been a while since it did that!

Also, quality of audio books vary A LOT. The first few I tried were not my speed so I shopped around. Who preforms it makes a big difference. I also tend not to listen to books I've read before because I've already decided what voices should sound like.

Maybe, everyone is a bit different, but experimentation is the best way. I started with weeding and listening because it is repetitive and takes a while. When I got used to it there, I could listen other places. But there are still days where my brain doesn't want to engage, so I don't make it.

Am I allowed to vote "Finding time"?

I listen when there is not much else to do but get into it. Driving, weeding, cleaning the house, going for a run or walk ... stuff that puts you in a "zone" I guess?

Lol, I've never been able to keep to a short story either!

Or a single book ... why write 1 when it could be 5?

Good Luck. Thesis submission is a big step.

What an exciting list! 🌟 The diverse range of genres means there's something for every storyteller out there. Keep pushing those creative boundaries! ✨📚 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

As readers we all look for THAT book

My black fuzzy muse joins me without insisting on being on my key board.

Happy Writing!

It gives so much more freedom too!

Never title something last draft…totally a jinx!

Happy Caturday, #5amwritersclub! I write surrounded by cats. They help the words come. Meow! 😻

No debtors prison in my book … you are just sold as a slave to cover the cost of your debts.

I’m getting a paucity of information from my searches on how long a synopsis should be. Should it be 1000 words? 500 words? One of each to cater to agents preferences?

Help me out here!!!!!!

Not paying your debts

Write the one thing you’ve been dying to write regardless of its relationship to your workflow or current project

Another student came up to me in class to tell me she had read one of my books posted to Wattpad!

Well, ideally, you have a will as soon as you have any assets/dependents.

Is it lost progress if you learned something?

And Canada?

Would we be worrying that what we wrote doesn’t capture a group of people faithful, fearing we might offend?

Old age is knocking... starting with the click of random joints every morning when I stretch. #Adulting #Relatable #WritersLife

EVERY TIME!!!! No matter what the time!

And my hope was in vain. The sixth sense strikes again and the three year old appears with his bed.
