Wow you are up early! Have a great Tuesday!

Me remembering I forgot to do the echoes report for the first half of my story. 😩 I need to do this…I repeat myself a lot. #5amwritersclub

Not much longer to wait! BTW watching Friday’s GH and so happy Ethan is back 🥰

I’m excited to announce that line edits for HEAT WAVE are complete and proofreading has begun! #5amwritersclub

Cuddle breaks are important! 😸

My supervisor strictly enforces breaks from editing. #5amwritersclub

Same here. So if I’m charged a $12 fee and I haven’t made more than that it puts me in the negative.

Yay!

Ooo I wonder if a new episode will air today or if it’ll be a repeat due to the holiday. 🤔 If its new, I’ll get to watch live today 😁

Girl, same! It’s been a week and I’m ready for a break!

It takes a long time! Especially for me because I want it to be perfect lol

Finally made it to chapter 13. #5amwritersclub #amediting

What do you mean I’m only on chapter 12 of these edits and March is almost over? 😩 I was supposed to be almost done. 10 more chapters and an epilogue to go. #5amwritersclub

They are the best writing buddies! Though sometimes I have to write with one hand and scratch her with the other 😂

She’s actually sleeping on her green pillow that’s in my lap. Every morning I ask if she wants “pillow time” and if she’s sleepy, she will lay down on it for head scratches. 🥰 makes writing difficult sometimes lol

My writing buddy this morning. She fell asleep in my lap. #5amwritersclub

I was going to skip edits this morning because I slept late but I woke up to a sale so I’m motivated now. 😄 #5amwritersclub

Happy editing! 🗑️

It was time to do a backup of all my unpublished projects. I have 7 completed first drafts, 1 unfinished WIP, a half-complete outline, and one story I’m currently editing. 10 stories in all I’m working on! (And ideas in my head for about 15 more 😂) #5amwritersclub

Have a great week! I was proud of myself actually getting up a little earlier to write this morning 😂 On a Monday!

That sounds very detailed! Nice! I’d be so lost without an outline! I need my details so I know where to go!

Interesting! What do you put on the spreadsheet? For me, I need to get the ideas for each scene down. I do a character sketch to help me develop them and come up with ideas.

This is how I outline now. (I’ve moved on from sticky notes!) It’s messy and full of errors but the important thing is getting all the ideas down! #5amwritersclub

This morning for my birthday, the girls took a nap and let me have almost a full hour uninterrupted to drink my coffee and work on my story outline. 😂 How kind of them! 😸 #5amwritersclub

I need this Friday so much! I’m taking a half day! 😂

Yesterday a coworker bought all of my books as a birthday present for me and a gift to share with her friends. Best birthday surprise for me 🥲 #5amwritersclub

I’m probably going to keep every one of these adverbs 🤣 #5amwritersclub

a laptop with a sticker on it that says " milk " ALT: a laptop with a sticker on it that says " milk "

I’m in that phase too!

I have a lot of justs too!

I used maybe 8 times in one scene. 😂 Maybe I’ll throw in a “perhaps” to mix it up 🤣
