I become a better writer when I treat me as a student of me 😔

The realization that the chaotic, too much way I write is mirrored by a chaotic, too much way that I read! Nooo!

I won’t start another book for leisure until I’ve finished four of the ones I’m reading already!

Me, evilly, to myself: pick up another project 😈

My prose has definitely taken a hit from social distancing. I like being alone, with people. Being around strangers, unmarked by a mask, did something for my writing that I now have to do without. Count that as another avoidable loss to the pandemic.

Journaling, nighttime skin routines, words of affirmation: things I do but only if I don’t call them that

Whenever im stuck in a loop around determining the best next step for a big writing project, I journal a question and answer session with myself. It’s a lot harder to get stuck in repetition when you’ve got to hand write your thoughts.

What does a sustainable writing pace look like to you? #amwriting

Let’s do the math. If my first draft is gonna be about 80k words, and I write 200 words a day, then the draft will be done in like a year and a half.

My cookbook is far from a completed draft, but I love and believe in rhe project so much that I’ve developed a strategy to get it traditionally published. The plan: elaborate, absurd, and demanding. The market: dead. If I succeed, it will be partially because I don’t know enough now not to try :)

The deadline was challenging but I do think it was in a productive, resilience-building way.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Made deadline on a technicality. 4 active cuticle infections, some kind of conjunctivitis flair, and disfiguring eczema flair. Choosing to believe some of that’s the accumulative effect of having a hectic summer, rather than me needing to slow down.

When I write a lot it sucks less when I find the outcome lacking!! People have been trying to give me this advice for…forever, I think.

Don’t use ai, like ever at all. I think that people who use AI think that everyone does. Nope. As much as I’m able, I actually don’t use it.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
I think that the only effective way to combat AI is to not use it and leave it at that.

I was more consistent this past week than I was the week before that—can I build on this momentum?

o.a.t., “of all time” = a new acronym I just invented and will now proceed to use without explanation for the foreseeable future. Also celebrates my heritage as a gruel lover.

Submission management is hard. Secretarial work is hard. Gonna make a zine about famous writers’ secretaries. The mvp oat

Right now my weakest point is submission management.

Took a long hiatus from bsky but not from writing! Turns out documenting my journey towards writing better really is doing something, even when I lapse on the “documenting” part 🤓

My friend Ella N'Diaye's incredible story "Into The Briarpatch" has just been published @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social. The Drafting Through Life writing workshop is fancy, guys. We're fancy.

Wrote a script instead of any of #ExMet. At least I wrote 100 words of it um…2 days ago.

My goal is to have two fiction writing sessions a week. I still have a commitment to daily writing, but I do a lot of copywriting & I now recognize that I have to count this among my writing efforts or I’m ignoring some of my writing practice in a way that only serves to make me feel bad.
