Enamel pin of a blue tea cup with a pink flower
Bought this pin today at the #MIA to remind myself that I don't have to be everyone's cup of tea.

Lisey's Story by Stephen King was not well received by critics, but SK said the novel is a personal favorite of his. Regardless, the cover is stunning.

Five sailboats in a harbor on a cloudy day.
My inner critic lost her battle today and I walked away with 1,164 new words. Not bad.
Here's a picture that I took last weekend in Grand Marais.

Does anyone else use the Atticus writing app? One of my recent chapters just disappeared 😧

I wrote 2 new chapters this week, and I like the direction my 2nd draft is taking. The stakes are higher and the characters are a little more morally ambiguous.

From directly above shot of a butterfly resting on a cement sidewalk. The butterfly is mostly a deep blue in color, with lighter blue markings along the wings. The tips of the forewings also feature a few orangish red spots and a smudge of faded orange color.
A Red-Spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax), sipping moisture from the sidewalk as I watered the front yard plants. No rain here in over a month now; everyone’s thirsty. 🌿 #leps #inverts #butterflies
I've just submitted my application to be approved to jump to a less shitty #timeline. Fingers crossed 🤞

I wrote 1,000 words on my second draft today.
And I'm still waiting for the #crows to discover the peanuts I left for them.

Mia is mad because I won't let her outside. She brought TWO snakes into the house today. Both were alive--no snakes were harmed, but we're done with that now, okay? 🐍

I've taken a little break from writing (19 days so far) before I start my second draft. Mia says it's good to see things from a new perspective.

✍️ Write the book you want to read.
With the twist you love. The weird metaphor you can’t let go. The witch. The detective. The dog who solves crimes via interpretive dance. 🕵️♀️🐶💃
Stop asking if it’s “too much.” Write bravely.

I'm reading The Seamstress of Sardinia. I'm only a few chapters in, but I like it so far.

Have you tried Write or Die? It's an app that starts deleting words if you stop or pause writing. I tried it a few years ago when I thought I had writer's block, but it turns out I had undiagnosed adhd.

Meme says, "Burning sage and the kids start whining,'I can't breathe!' I bet you can't. Demons."
I am clocking out at 1700 words today.
My children are causing chaos elsewhere, so it's time for a little self-care.

Maybe have one of your characters confront him with the same criticisms the beta readers had so that he can explain and defend himself.

My goal is to finish this rough draft in 1️⃣5️⃣ days.

I once saw a piano in the middle of an open field. It was a little spooky!
Congratulations 🎉
I have 80k words ✨️
I have often wondered if I would ever make it this far.
There's still so much work to be done!
