Anodyne Magazine Event
Key takeaways from our IRL event this weekend:
We’re not talking enough about the politics of access.
Unstructured conversation can be far more powerful than agendas.
More IRL. More community. More voices. We are geared up and ready! Watch our events page closely.

My MC, Bethany, is the most determined heroine I've written. She will rescue her family even if it takes 7 years to do so. Nothing's stopping my girl, even the threat of death won't stop her.

I managed 1200 words yesterday #writingconmunity then I let my husband read it just to make sure it was actually headed somewhere
I got 34k words in, and realised there are some plot holes with the very foundation of the story.
I feel a little stuck now. Do I try to salvage this or move onto another project and circle back?

From Laurie Anderson: “Instead of a period at the end of each sentence, there should be a tiny clock that tells you how long it took you to write that sentence.” Writers can relate. #booksky #writingconmunity 💙📚💙🖋️💙📚🖋️📚

Explosions and a fire have been reported at an oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk, russia. The cause and extent of the damage are still being clarified.
Why burn up the russian refineries?
Train tracks, and bombers, and ISP's?
An terrorist that once thrived
Is a terrorist now deprived
Of his means to make war — and of his adorees.

The storm raged all night
Early on with her fishing rod
The woman in the hat hurried along
Walking, nay flying forward in her thoughts
One more step
To cast her line into the water
But a #merrow gazed back at her
And…

Merrow (from Irish murúch, Middle Irish murdúchann or murdúchu) is a mermaid or merman in Irish folklore. The term is anglicised from the Irish word murúch. The merrows supposedly require a magical cap (Irish: cochaillín draíochta; anglicised: cohuleen druith) in order to travel between deep water and dry land. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrow image source: https://theburrenandbeyond.com/2013/12/09/the-merrow-1888/
We're staying in the land of myth and folklore. Today's #BlueSkyRelay #prompt is #merrow.
Have fun writing, whether the seas are disturbed or calm! 🧜♂️🧜♀️

#Underworld glitters
Under ground rivers teeming,
Undiscovered life
Now at peace until
Dawn’s light breaks through, disturbing
Their fragile heaven.

A faint rustling from the nearby boxwood gave her pause as she was passing the dilapidated manor.

Walking through #tunnels
Immersed in a worldly dark,
One light at the end.

I was once rather #candid
I thought that would be lauded
But I found that it was hated
Perhaps truth is not what’s fated

I love my comps tbh (but I need to find actual book comps lol) but my WIP is heavily influenced by InuYasha, Sailor Moon, and D&D wild magic 😈

It’s been 1 week since I’ve hit the send button to my editor, but I can’t help but wonder if she thinks my #poetry manuscript is brilliant or dumb! 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😭
