@mostlybree I’ve always though my name backwards, Acissej, would make a good fantasy name. I had to find some morsel of uniqueness in a ridiculously common name somehow 😁

@totallydonna Pretty sure it was either Hanging Tough or Forever Your Girl.

@Sarah_Nicolas I feel like all I’ve wanted to write and read for a while now are burn-down-the-patriarchy books, and now more than ever. Yay for this and hoping it will be out in the world one day!

@vjj15 @WknightWriters Same. It’s hard when doing what you need to do to keep you/your family treading water eats at the time & energy it takes to have writing become a full time career. My husband always says it’s a marathon, not a sprint - that helps me to keep perspective sometimes.
English
@JChanese @WknightWriters And I just imagine one day being a full time author that’d be the dream

Q2: Is there anything specific you're struggling with this week? Let us know about it and we'll see what we can do to help! #WeeknightWriters
English
@vjj15 @WknightWriters I struggle with this quite a bit, too. It’s frustrating, especially if you’d much rather be writing than working but that isn’t an option because capitalism.
English
@WknightWriters A2. Being in the mood to write, lately as much as work has been fine I’ve been struggling with being exhausted afterwards and having no energy for work #weeknightwriters
English
@WknightWriters Hi all, I’m Jessica and my writing week is going better than last week, so that’s positive. My WIP is a contemporary fantasy with an ND protagonist. #WeeknightWriters
English
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your #AmWriting week is going! Or not going, that's valid too
English
@JChanese @WknightWriters Yeah - some are easily fix, one prob needed to be done a while ago. But it can feel too much when it comes in a wave.
English
@WknightWriters Pretty decent overall. It’s been a week of ups and downs, but hanging in there in general. #WeeknightWriters
English
@MeikeTorkelson @WknightWriters That is so stressful. Hoping the no fun surprises are done for a while!
English
@WknightWriters It's been a week with moments of MH difficulties for sure. You know that sense of sick angst every time something breaks and you know there's a cost?
I've had three things break this week. #funtimes

@MeikeTorkelson @WknightWriters Ooh, this looks like a great resource, thank you!

@JChanese @WknightWriters I've found Oblique Strategies sometimes help me out by making me embrace experimenting and trying over overthinking the way forward...

@WknightWriters A3: My workplace has been way more receptive to my suggestions to reframe how they recognize Autism Acceptance Month (just even getting them to shift from Autism Awareness felt like a win) than I expected, and several colleagues have been really supportive. #WeeknightWriters
English
Q3: Let's cheer things up a bit! What has brought you joy in the past week? Remember, no joy is too small! #WeeknightWriters
English
@MeikeTorkelson @WknightWriters I’m not stuck in terms of the story so much, but I do feel stuck in general. I know where I want this WIP to go but sometimes (often, actually) executive dysfunction + anxiety keep me from making actually progress on it.
English
@JChanese @WknightWriters I used to use the walk to and from work to really think through and plan out my story. Thinking can feel unproductive as it doesn't move out word count forwrd, but it can be vital.
But do you just feel stuck?
English
@WknightWriters Forgot the hashtag again, grr! I’ll get the hang of this internets thing eventually 😁 Thank you for the validation! #WeeknightWriters
English
@JChanese That's a totally valid struggle, and something I think most of us can relate to. #WeeknightWriters

@WknightWriters A1: Hanging in there. I just feel a little off this week, just a little extra on edge. Nothing I can totally put my finger on. #WeeknightWriters
English
@WknightWriters Sorry about that! Realized I forgot the #WeeknightWriters hashtag as soon as I hit send!
English
Make sure to use the #WeeknightWriters hashtag so everyone can see your posts! And say hi to Jess!

@WknightWriters Hi all, I’m Jess and my current WIP is Strange Undercurrents, a contemporary fantasy w/ a neurodivergent main character. My writing week has been ‘eh’ 🤷♀️. I’m stuck in a loop of spending more time thinking about why I’m not writing than actually writing, unfortunately.
