So much for writing this week… I got a cold and decided I wasn’t up to joining my writing buddy for our session at fhe coffee shop this week 😭 (it is very hard for me to write without leaving the house usually)

The further I get into writing my novel the harder it is to resist the urge to start editing what I’ve already written. There are so many things I know need to be fixed to make the pacing better and the motivation of the mc stronger! I KNOW i gotta keep going to finish what I know will change 😭

sometimes “my mom’s best friend’s daughter” is clunkier than “my cousin”. English language does not have easy ways I’ve identifying these sorts of relationships

I used to be 100% Lawful Pantser, but I’m a lot more comfortable hopping around now instead of ALWAYS writing in order. I still end up writing linearly a lot of the time, but would say that otherwise I’m somewhere between a Neutral Pantser and a Chaotic Plantser now. #WeeknightWriters

❛ A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight... Ursula K. Le Guin, born #OTD in 1929.

Finally getting back into the writing routine after being too busy the last couple of weeks. I wish it was easier to get myself to write in the comfort of my own home.

For National Poetry Day, one of my dearest poems on the Orpheus and Eurydice story. Rilke's Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes. Tr. Stephen Mitchell. This is one of the rawest depictions on facing your lost love. She was already loosened like long hair, poured out like fallen rain She was already root.

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour www.emilyhare.co.uk
huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it. a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfalla precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside. a large winged blue dragon prepares to land on a nest with two baby blue dragons waiting in the nest for their dinner.

Just hit 50k on my WIP!! 🎉 Its a word count goal I’ve never been able to hit on single project before. I’m incredibly proud of myself for persisting and not falling into the trap of second-guessing everything and immediately re-writing the beginning a thousand times.

Every time I see a book with a similar idea to what I’m writing I have to remind myself that there’s no way that someone else would be able to stumble onto the *exact* same unhinged combination of ideas. I done even know how I got here.

the biggest problem I face as a writer is that I WANT to right, and I love to write, but finding the executive functioning that will l turn my desire into action is hard! I’ve only been able to write recently bc I’m currently unemployed and have a writing buddy to hold me accountable.

Omg I loved the new Superman so much!! Incredibly well written with so much goofy, yet realistic dialogue, compelling character moments even with minor characters, and just all of the best parts of Superman and his universe in general.

I am coping with all the bad by rediscovering escapism. Writing fantasy and trying to feel whimsy and hope despite everything. At the very least I can make something else that will make them mad…

Writers, what details do you care way too much about including and properly describing despite knowing it doesn’t matter? For me, its clothes/“character design.” I need to know exactly what every character is wearing/looks like, and probably linger on those descriptions too long on the page…

I’ve struggled to get into a regular routine again and I have never been a very prolific writer. Meeting word counts has always felt like a struggle. So this is has been so good for me!!

I’ve been going to a cafe and writing with a good friend of mine a couple of days this past week and I’m baffled by how quickly the words are happening. The first it was like 700 words, then 800, and then yesterday I banged out 1,500 like it was nothing in the same time span??

Today is my last day at my job!! I quit because my boss told me that, as my employer, she could talk down to and belittle me all she wanted, and if I didn’t like it, I could resign. So i thought about it and yeah, resigned. Grateful I am in a spot rn where I can stand up for myself.

I wrote an “I met my younger self for coffee” poem in the style of Jennae Cecelia. My poem is but one version of many meetings that can and may exist. We are Russian nesting dolls full of our younger selves. I’m interested which me I will meet with next. #WriterSky #AmWriting #AmWritingPoetry

Do you rely exclusively on your feeding tube or are you still able to eat “regularly” (I’m sure there’s a better term for it) in some capacity?

I was told it was only for people in their early 20s and recall a cap for those over 40! There’s a lot of misinformation surrounding it unfortunately. But i believe the ages have changed since I got it a couple years ago?

Hey if you or your loved ones are at any risk of cervical cancer and are able to, get the HPV vaccine. Its an absolutely incredible feat of modern medicine and i think its available to way more age groups now too? Also you do not have to be sexually active to get it!!

I find it funny how much research I’ll do sometimes for writing projects that really don’t need it. Spent hours looking through women’s magazines from 1900 the other day just to…absorb the vibes I guess??
