My own take is to make note of the problem in the comments and keep going as if the change had happened.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. It's been a long time. But my dark mornings are back, and there's no excuse. Onward!

Hi P.G. I'd be happy to read your book and do an interview if it feels like a good fit for us both. Is there a way I can get an ARC?

My brain needs dark and cold and coffee. Anyone else have trouble writing in the summer? All my thoughts are so much cottonwood fluff blowing in the breeze. #WritingCommunity #FantasyAuthors #AmWriting #AmNotWriting

Have twice found glass shards in food from Snapware. This all makes sense now.

For my fellow Americans, confused by Count Binface.

Thank you for this multi-layered lesson! As an American, I had no context. Will be cheering Binface from the sidelines.

Dear UK friends: I loved Boaty McBoatface, but I am struggling to understand what, or who, is Count Binface. Help?

My little announcement - I have a new book in 2027, and this is the cover!

A profesor in art school told us that the doing is the art, and that the created thing is merely an artifact. That has stuck with me.

Welp, I'm here for #5amWritersClub, East Coast Edition, aka #5amWritersClub, Midwest Insomnia Edition. Go get it, writers!

Well, I missed #5amWritersClub by a few hours, but got 'er done all the same. I hope it was productive for you all!

I like a road map! But my characters always go off track. Then I have to rewrite the map.

Good morning from Paint Creek, #5amWritersClub. Frost on the tulips 🌷 today and our heater is off for the season. But I WILL get Chap Two draft despite the chill.

Best wishes on the PET scan. I know how anxiety provoking those can be.

I may have discovered a new number, in that my interest in the Met Gala charts at less than -∞.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can write a whole piece, forget about it, and write it again, thinking it has magically appeared in my head.

So many of us are working very hard to fix this. Also, Vancouver and Montreal both are fantastic cities.

I'm excited to read. Wild timing though. I had just started Station 11 in January 2020, and it was a hard time to read that.

Best marketing copy ever written. "I wrote this photo in book form." Laughing and adding to my TBR.

Sharing the tool that keeps me from going off the rails in drafting. Feel free to download and adapt for your own writing. #amwriting #fantasyauthor #writingcommunity. Also it is not morning, but this one time, I will tag the #5amWritersClub even though it's not about trying to write at 5 am.

Yes! I come to look forward to edits as an excuse to visit them again.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Waiting for the staff to bring me coffee in bed. It may be a long wait.

A VERY LARGE mother bear with her cubs. We stayed inside.

This is only my third novel, so still developing a process. I'm trying to update a synopsis and loose outline as I rough draft. I've always been a pantser. This time I'm trying to see if I can avoid a few of the dead end canyons I sometimes write my way into.

Bears! A huge mama and two teenagers.

SO PAINFUL. But also, a great tool. Really clarifies what's important, so a good idea to rough draft the synopsis early on.

Andrea Gabriel @andreagabriel.com · 14/04/2026

Three hours after starting #5amWritersClub, I have a 500 word synopsis. I am thrilled. But also, WHY are these so hard? This document represents 106 pages of brainstorming and rough draft that came before.
