Despite the ridiculous gas prices, I am taking my toddler on a drive because he needs a nap and refuses to take one. But the real motive is that I get an entire hour to sit and think about my book in silence!

How commonly are agents/editors using AI programs (like manuscriptAI) when assessing new authors? I heard it's becoming more common and I am just curious how often it's actually happening.

Thanks to the wonderful lecture on four act structure that @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social offered last month, I (a discovery writer) have finally created a solid story outline that does not feel like giant shackles on my creativity, and I am thrilled.

Just dropped my three year old off with my in-laws, and I have twenty four hours of freedom!
✅Cozy coffee shop
✅Laptop open
✅Chai
Time to write! Woohooo!!

As we move toward Beltane, I've been considering areas for personal growth this year...and it hit me. I can plant all the seeds I want, but to create fertile ground, I've gotta release my bull💩 first. I'VE BEEN MISSING THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP THIS ENTIRE TIME!

Just made the decision to split my 140k manuscript into a trilogy. A weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I am ready to fly!

Please send coffee.

I feel you. It's so tough to be in pain all the time and it can be difficult to focus on writing when your body is demanding your attention. Hoping you can get some relief and keep making progress on your goal ❤️

My tupperware lids turned into kittens!

Congratulations!! Such a good feeling!

My feed is full of heartbreak tonight! But I love how this one ends on a reclaiming of power and gave me such a vivid image in my head. Beautiful ❤️

Toddler parents who are #writers, how do you do it? As writers, we are supposed to read a lot, learn about the craft, write every day, exchange feedback with other writers, maintain social media. As parents we are supposed to do...everything. HOW?! #Writingcommunity #SAHM #Writesky #amrevising

Oh my gosh! This is incredible. I had no idea this was a thing!

Yes!! It's so nice when you get on a roll and just can't stop.

I love this ❤️

Ooh! Exciting!! It feels so good when you are hitting your goals and are getting to the heart of the story. Congrats!

This is a great idea!

Hi Susan! Would you be interested in a book on Spiritual Motherhood? It's not written yet but I've been brainstorming ideas for it for a while now and have been tinkering with an outline. Is this something you'd be interested in taking a look at when I get further with the project?

Hey #writers! How do you keep motivated when working on revisions? I can keep my my momentum when I'm able to write every day but I have a hard time getting back on track again without a focused work day. What works for you? How do you keep forward momentum on your work? #writesky #writingcommunity

Fireflys are back and I'm so thrilled about it ❤️ they make my backyard look like something straight out of a fairy tale!

#summer #writingcomminity #amrevising #inspired

Oh no! Is this a new change? I signed up to pitch to you at a conference later this summer because I thought you repped fantasy. Did I just see that you were seeking female rage and hallucinate the fantasy part? 😅😭 Everything else felt like such a good fit.

Yesterday I thought my first chapter was finally done. Today, I spent three hours fixing it...again. I think I will be #revising forever.

How do you all know when to stop??? Does it ever feel finished?

#writing #writingcommunity #writesky #writingfantasy

Does anyone remember the game where you start with a #writingprompt and then everyone adds a few sentences to the story? I always loved it and I'd love to see where the #writingcommunity can take this opening!

RULES: Keep it kind. No politics!

#writesky #writinggame #inspiration #motivation #fun

Yeah sometimes I think it's hard to know when to use the romantasy label. Mine is going well! I'm revising now and hoping to go on sub by the end of summer. 🤞🏼 I hope yours is going well too!

😂

Sleep Token for sure!!

There's a cute little humming bird that keeps visiting me when I sneak outside to #write. Today it got right up in my face so we could check each other out.

And now have to go buy them some flowers. Does anyone have any suggestions for potted plants they like?

Cozy writing spaces are the best! I'm working on a fantasy with romance (I hesitate to call it romantasy because I'm not sure the romance takes center stage enough but it definitely has romantic elements). What are you writing?

I like to move around too. I prefer writing at home, especially on my back deck on a nice day, but that's tough with the kids. Lately I've been a coffee shop writer just so I can sit down and focus!

My first time doing #wipsnips!
