@TomRameyTales My mom always read Thanksgiving with the Tappeltons with us every year growing up. It is a very cute Thanksgiving picture book.

Does anyone have a specific Thanksgiving book they read to their kids?

Keep well everyone, and see you in 2026!

A little more than two months ago, I abruptly disappeared off this site (and all sm) while I dealt with a family emergency. Apologies if I worried anyone! I've found the mental space from sm so good for my mental health that I've decided to stay away until the new year.

@RynTerra Awwwww! He clearly lives SUCH a hard life!

The pup’s face when there has been too much wordsmithing and not enough exploring. It’s like I canceled Christmas!

@brclothwrites I wish I could wake up at 6:30! If I want to write, I'm up at 4:15 🤢

Good morning! What time do you wake up for work? This 6:30 nonsense is ridiculous 🤣

@MakenaMar Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

Best book you've read about writing?

@authcahollister That's a small blessing at least!

@shgrimm Thank you. Luckily there were no broken bones or concussion.

Apparently, when one is sick with the stomach bug one must remember to stay hydrated or risk waking up on the bathroom floor with a busted lip, nose, and shoulder. That was a fun visit to the ER. I guess dehydration and a mad dash to the bathroom was not a good combo.

@sirbenjaminjr WOW! Congrats!!!

Good morning! Now up to THREE FULL REQUESTS for Kinda Charming! It’s a good morning, indeed! 👏👏👏

Do foggy September mornings make anyone else feel like the protagonist in a Gothic novel?

'Tis apple season!

@sddonovan AGREED.

I don't like the word moots. 💀

Good morning and happy labour day long weekend!!! What does everyone have planned?

@RynTerra Agreed! And it really has been :) As has yours, it appears!

@shgrimm There needs to be more hours in a day and energy to match it 😂 It sounds like you’ve had a wonderful summer though

We tied the knot, y’all!

@RynTerra I understand that so well. We've been so busy with family and our garden/property that I've given up on any sort of regular writing routine before October.

@shgrimm 🤗😊 It feels good to get back to my usual routine. I missed my fiction writing 😂

@RynTerra You are very welcome 🤗 I hope you're taking some time to relax now that the craziness is over!

@shgrimm Thank you! I appreciate that so much 🥹💜

@p_fiture This... Is actually brilliant

i have a money jar where i put 5€ each time i finish a book, and this is the money i use for book shopping so it forces me to take down my tbr as books are usually > 5€😭

@Linfootwrites Now that you mention it, carving all those words might be a little time consuming.

@shgrimm Ivory is too heavy. I wouldn’t be able to lift it.

Every writer obsesses over word count. But not me. I obsess over page weight. Each uncoated offset sheet weighs 4.5 grams. And my 300 page manuscript weighs 1.35 kilograms. Which makes it heavier than a brain. That means my novel is literally too dense for critics to comprehend. Which means it’s review proof now. And not even I can comprehend it anymore.
