My printer is getting finicky in its old (okay, so it’s not even that old) age…everything appears to be functioning properly, but ask it to print and I can expect the results in 2-5 business days, usually at some RANDOM moment when I’m not even near… #WritingCommunity

Writers! Using only a GIF, show us where you are in your current WIP!

When a scene you’re writing takes a twisty turn even YOU didn’t see coming so you go with it…don’t know if I’ll keep it, but it was fun in the moment! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

@Louie_Dobson_ That is a lot…but honestly, I’d be more impressed if you’d only baked half a birthday cake…😝

this week i went to the dentist, the hairdresser, got screened for autism, got screened for ADHD, finished and turned in my mid term, line edited 170 pages, become an aunt again, went out with friends, got dumped, baked a whole birthday cake and pulled an all nighter...girl

@MLA_Matthew That’s rough. Moving sucks. Good luck!

A quick update: I found out in January that I needed to pack my whole life up and move across town. While not a huge move, naturally, this has led to a delay in response and reading time. I appreciate everyone’s patience as I work to both catch up and move to a new home!

@Louie_Dobson_ I’m not good at math…but that’s like a book every, what, one and a quarterish days? Even if I COULD do that, no thank you…I prefer to enjoy my books😂

so do we have to do 'youre not a real writer unless you read 300 books a year' drama every month? do none of us have lives anymore? Is this it now just rehashing pointless discourse over and over and over until we all just leave social media?

Me - sees a tornado-destroyed barn I’ve seen a hundred times before…a fantastic line pops into my mind… Me - *firmly, to myself* “This does NOT need to become a novel.” #WritingCommunity #writerslife

@rrreadsbooks Done!

spreading some love today with a free query critique 🥰💘 to enter, just follow me, rt this post, and comment. I’ll draw a name tomorrow 💌🫶🏻 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

@PaperFury @4man98 Ugh…this is exactly the kind of post that makes me roll my eyes…not everyone is the same! Some of us have ADHD ghosts who refuse to peer quietly and spend all their time knocking things over and being a general mess of a distraction! (And I think they hid my quill 🥺)

dont use ai to write your books, you coward. write the good old fashioned way with a quill pen in the attic of a rotting gothic mansion with a few ghosts peering over your shoulder while your relatives downstairs call you a recluse and try to poison your tea

I don’t want to brag or anything, but SOMEBODY just closed out a LOT of open tabs on the laptop…down to 14, friends, and another level of avoiding writing my novel unlocked 😂 #AmWriting #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

After being arrested by the Dept. of Magic Control for Running illegal spells, Pim’s only chance at freedom is to spy on Azavyir’s most dangerous Magic lord; but spying turns to a game of survival and the people Pim thought he could trust might be the biggest threat. #QuestPit #Q

When it’s day 3 of being iced in, and you’re trying to figure out: is this today’s coffee…or yesterday’s…or…? #CoffeeTime

@CSmithicks Sometimes, it’s just vibes…

How do you decide where to start with your TBR? I've got a topping pile of mysteries, thrillers, and true crime!! Now I just need Merlin's magic bag and a yearlong getaway....😂📚 #amreading #bookaholic #bookaddicts #writerslife facebook.com/share/v/1C6bVX…

@HerringAli Yes! And the kids back to school/assignments with ridiculous due dates! I’m like, my dude, I can’t even remember my whole name right now or what day it is, don’t know how I’m supposed to adult.

Anyone else feel like a bear coming out of hibernation returning to work after the holidays? I know not every industry or job shuts down at the end of December, but that’s how it goes for me, & between a time change adjustment from flying out west for a week & the flu, who boy🐻!

Santa and Christmas are not things that exist in Azavyir…BUT, if they did, this is how my four favorite characters would react to the idea of St. Nick…Merry Christmas from The Boy with Magic in His Bones crew! #writerslife #amquerying

@PaperFury @chxryoung I feel very much the same…I’ve been writing since 8 and it’s the only hobby I love and am semi-decent at!

“what inspired you to keep writing despite all the rejections??” well you see 😭 i have been writing since i was 15 so i actually have no other skillsets or hobbies!! am going to pretend i stuck with it for valiant reasons but in truth i just do not have anything else to do !!

@HerringAli I’m proud (scared?) to say, I’m the only adult in the house/person who orders things from Amazon and I am STILL frequently surprised when the packages show up!

Part of modern-day marriage and family is being surprised at all the various and sundry Amazon packages your spouse and children order that randomly arrive throughout the week. (Or that you forget ordering yourself).

Me - sits down at work and turns computer on. Computer, immediately - “File not found.” M - “I didn’t even ask you for a file. Stop being so negative.” #Fridays
