“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” – Reinhold Niebuhr

plans for the week...
* continue thinking about the business-y side of writing
* drink coffee (thankfully needs less planning than business-y business things)
* crochet (may need some planning. Will see)
#weeklywritingchallenge #writerlife #bonescoffee #coffeeoclock #coffeesky #writingcommunity
plans for the week...
* take some time off from writing to focus on the business-y business side of writing
* work on Big Yarn Project
* sneak in some writing. Will lose mind if writing doesn't happen

The news about Meta pirating books for their ai threw me for a loop last week. While it's an awful situation, I'm a little amused that some of my books are up there with the Shining and Fifty Shades.
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #writingcommunity
plans for the week...
* write 7k (okay, I didn't hit last week's goal, but I got CLOSE)
* watch the writing videos I've let build up while doom scrolling (hmm, I wonder why I didn't hit the previous goals...)
* doom scroll less

Shopping before this year: oh look, it's a box of crayons. Seeing them makes me smile. I'm half temped to buy them. It's a silly thought. I don't need to do that
Now: THE NEXT TIME I'M IN THE STORE, I'M GETTING THE FREAKING CRAYONS
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
plans for the week...
* write 5k (allergies are still being allergy-y)
* drink coffee (feeling sluggish. Could be the allergy medication, could be that it's early. Coffee will help)
* if coffee doesn't help... must not have had enough, drink more

I was inspired for this week's snippet when I woke in the middle of the night and discovered it was raining.
Because of the streetlight, the rain that'd collected along the awning looked glittery, so; it was a dark and pretty night.
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
plans for the week...
* write 5k (allergies acting up, head feels blah)
* stare at wall (stupid allergies)
* hope allergies will lessen by Friday, so they won't interfere with coffee meet up (I think the allergies just lol'd)

Ironically, I'm posting this pre-coffee. Hopefully today will be a one coffee day
#coffee #coffeesky #coffeelife #weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
plans for the week...
* write 10k (might be able to do more if I don't doom scroll)
* don't doom scroll (no matter how much it calls to you)
* call reps (be their doom scroll instead)
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #planners #doomscroll
slow writing week, but I got more sleep in than I had been. After the last couple months, it felt like a novelty
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
~ plans for the week ~
* do a 5k writing challenge later in the week (maybe Thursday)
* make plans to remove books out of KU and put them wide
* keep an eye on the calendar in case February tries to pull a January and last a year
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #planners
~ my accomplishments this week ~
1. stared at the blank page
2. drank coffee
3. had more coffee
4. wrote a paragraph. Deleted the paragraph. Cried to the writing gods
5. considered having more coffee
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
~ plans for the week ~
* write 10k (I've accepted that things are a bit insane right now and sometimes I'll want to call my reps, not write)
* work on cat blanket (when they let me. It's half done and they'll happily sleep on it)
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #planners
I'm not counting the 3k I wrote in letters to my reps over the week. I think if we added up all the words we've written to various government officials this month, we've likely out-nano'd nano

"The Teacher's Heavy Jambiya"
#WeeklyWritingChallenge #ShortStory #WritersOnBlueSky
sure, we're halfway through the week, but why not start making some plans for it?
~ current plans for the week ~
* write 20k
* avoid doom scrolling. Listen to 60's music instead ("Turn, Turn, Turn" feels very resonant right now)
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #planners
Haven't written any prose in a while! Here's a short ~500 word story/scene.

Hi all!! Thank you for everyone joining my
✒️ #WeeklyWritingChallenge ✒️!
Oops! I had forgot to post! How irresponsible of me.
Diligence, persistence, dedication, such qualities...
This week's challenge will be:
#WritersOnBlueSky #stories #PoetsOnBlueSky #poetry #詩 #prompts
Did I hit my intended word count for the week? No, but since I wrote to my senators, representative, and governor a few times, I feel good about how I did.
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife #zombies
While I would've like to have written more last week, I'm happy I was able to get further in one of my stories.
#weeklywritingchallenge #authorsofbluesky #writerlife
Current plans for the week:
* doom scroll less (I suspect this is going to be an ongoing challenge)
* write 15k
* remember they want us to feel overwhelmed. Spite them (outwit, outlast, outplay)
#weeklywritingchallenge, #authorsofbluesky, #writerlife, #planners #doomscrolling
Plans for the week...
* only doom scroll for an hour a day
* knit (hopefully the cats won't "help")
* take photos if the cats "help"
* write 20k (one day I'll hit it!)

Did I hit 20k last week? No, but I did write some snippets that were a bit... let's go with zombie-ish.
Yeah. Zombies...

Especially in rough times, we all could use a North Star, someone that serves as an example, someone we admire.

While I wasn't able to hit 15k, I'm still happy with what I did write. Words happened! Woo!

The turning tide
The ocean breeze
The living bark among the trees
The softest silk
The hardest stone
The skin surrounding every bone
The sticky slime
The roughest scale
The fluffy hair on a dog tail
The coldest drink
The hottest meal
Mean nothing if we cannot feel
-Touch-
