Sometimes the only thing I need to kick my brain into gear is a good idle game/productivity tool! Spirit City is my favorite.

Do I spent another hour trying to find my way into Raya Lucaria or read another book instead? Loving books AND video games isn’t for the weak haha

I love listening to craft podcasts, but it can get so overwhelming so fast! You listen to three different pods and you come away thinking you need to fix your dialogue, your plot, and your prose! It’s too much! #writing #fantasy #amwriting

Summer either feels incredibly productive or like I'm spinning my wheels in the mud. There's no in between, but luckily, this summer has been a productive one. Hoping to finish Draft 4 this month!

Don't you love when you're making your way through a draft and a sudden thought has you reconsidering everything? I guess it's back to the beginning!

Just finished the first draft of my 3rd WIP! Objectively it's an accomplishment, but I struggle to enjoy it because I'm busy thinking through the hundreds of edits I need to make. Anyone else feel the same? 😅 #writingcommunity #amwriting #booksky #books #writing

I wish every day felt as productive as today. The rush of my word count flying by is a high like no other!

Today is the perfect rainy day to write a sad scene. Too bad my character doesn't have time for things like feelings. Or sleep. Or good sense.

I've been in a very podcast-y mood recently and some of my faves have been The First Draft Club, The Shit No One Tells You About Writing, and the You, Me, and the Writing Journey (@ymwjpodcast.bsky.social) pods. Any other good recs welcome!
