You can really be 22 and stumbling down the street with your new bar crawl bestie one minute and then the next you're 35 and running to grab your binoculars before the red-winged blackbird you think you spotted flies away.

I need my only after school options to be reading and writing. This adult shit is crazy.

Can we bring the term "squick" back to the reading/writing community?

Just a couple more days left of my Spring Break and I'm choosing not to write today. With fewer than 2000 words to go to reach my goal, I feel very much the hare napping just shy of the finish line! Will my return to work overtake me while I rest?

I love the way books bloom in my mind. They always start with a powerful moment. Then, it's a scene that grows into one chapter, two chapters, three-- more and more, a swirling mess of ideas until they find their places in the narrative. Sometimes, it happens so fast my pen can't keep up! I love it!

Sometimes all it takes is asking if you can even write dystopian for an idea for a fun little dystopian romp to appear, half-formed, in your head...

Spirit of Focus, grant me your strength as I try to write with this photogenic little demon by my side:

What's the word for when you're working on one WIP but you'd rather be working on your other, further along and better WIP? WIP envy? WIP lust? WIP want?

Thank you for the responses to my vulnerable moment. I'm still depressed but it's now a little easier to tell the mean voices in my head to pipe down.

Depression has me convinced nothing I say matters. I write posts and then erase them because I think everyone will hate them. But this one is going out, damn it! The spiraling ends today!

Submitted a manuscript? Got some time on your hands? Extra sleep is for the birds! Jump right into editing another manuscript, instead! (Don't do this. This is bad advice.)

Punting this manuscript into my editor's inbox like it's 2010 and I'm DeSean Jackson! (Yes, I looked that up. It took me a long time because I don't know football. Please clap.)

I've reached the stage of editing in which I scroll through the pages of my manuscript, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I think this means...I'm...done?

There's a sports metaphor for how I'm struggling to finish these edits with this sickness weighing me down but I'm too sick and too bad at sports to come up with it.

Editing around my day job is so wild! I'm learning so much about myself! 4-6 AM me is this creative genius whose legacy 6-8 PM me is forever trying to live up to. Meanwhile, 6-8 PM me can spot an errant comma from miles away while 4-6 AM me couldn't give fewer fucks about conventions!

I feel like someone needs to know that I, too, have deeply internalized the oversimplified rules for socialization we learned in elementary school and that I, too, am constantly confounded by the lack of structure in adult conversations and that I deadpan to the camera in solidarity.

Update: I wrote something small that may eventually become something big, but I just got back my manuscript so I'm reluctantly shelving it to do these edits.
