Yes, yes, omg, yes.
“The #characters in my #novels are my own unrealised possibilities. That is why I am equally fond of them all and equally horrified by them. Each one has crossed a border that I myself have circumvented.”― Milan Kundera

“The years are short but the days are long,” Drew trilled as he scrolled through Grindr. “You would think there’d be at least one hot, closeted dad around here, looking to indulge on the DL. Why is dating so impossible these days?” “But see? That’s exactly my point! Everyone good is already taken. What’s out there right now for us is like shopping in a thrift store in a bad neighborhood. Everything is at least slightly damaged or irregular, has already been tossed aside as unwanted by others, and you’re really just looking for the least fucked up one that doesn’t smell too bad. It’s awful. But we’re both massive catches. Look at us! It just makes sense for us to team up. Also, I’m really not sure who you think you’re kidding referring to that app as ‘dating’. We all know you’re just looking to get laid. Call it what it is.” I honestly wasn’t sure when I became so fully invested in this idea but it was like, suddenly, this was the most important thing in my life and I was on a mission. No one was going to stop me.
I didn’t have today’s #wipsnips word, “impede” so I went with “stop” instead. #writingcommunity #writingprompts #amwtiting #writersky #writesky

Selfie of a woman with red hair and glasses on a train with suitcases in her back.
'm moving myself to the other end of Germany for the next three months. For my internship, I'm going to become a museum witch in Dresden for a while. So excited!

A publisher looks at a mountain of manuscripts.
Dead of Night is now with a befuddled publisher for consideration. Wish me luck.

Cannot WAIT for Mel Trying To Write Two Romances At Once And Maybe A Fantasy Tragedy On Top.

A woman points at a sign saying sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
We need to invent punctuation to denote sarcastic character dialogue. But what to call it? A "YEAH, RIGHT"? A "NOT"?

Good luck with your writing today. And remember, your reader doesn't need to know how those sausages are made.
