M: Nope! T: I get a lot of inspiration from @jessicapayne.bsky.social & @sarareadauthor.bsky.social 's YouTube channel/podcast - now called AuthorTalk. It's energizing to hear the perspective of two great writers who are also friends. #thrillsandchills

Q4. #momsWritersClub #amwriting #author #WritingCommunity #authorlife It's all about how it FEELS. If it's flowing, it's almost always working. When it feels hard or stunted or I find myself not wanting to write... it's usually because it's not working.

Q3. #MomsWritersClub #WritingCommunity #amwriting #author #authorlife For me, I need my laptop, my split keyboard, a notebook to scribble notes on (what else), my fav pens, and COFFEE or tea. Also appreciate being able to send a long podcast, ahem voice message, to @sarareadauthor.bsky.social

Hi friends. We've been at #MomsWritersClub for nearly FOUR years now! And I am so incredibly grateful for this group and for each and every one of you. MWC is not going ANYWHERE... however, we are going to make some changes so that this group can continue to grow and flourish.

Q2. #MomsWritersClub #amwriting #author #writer #writinglife #writingcommunity I have some shoulder issues, so I need a rather ergo-friendly setup! So 99% of my writing is done at my desk, but I love it. I got a big L-shaped one and I have a gorgeous view of the PNW trees!

Q6, our final question of the night for #MomsWritersClub. For me, my favorite memory would probably be getting together with @sarareadauthor.bsky.social and our friend Evie for writing retreats. They were just so much fun, especially that first one, pouring wine and getting to know each other IRL!

What is your favorite writing related memory!

Jessica Payne, Thriller Author @jessicapayne.bsky.social · 22/02/2024

Q4. This is actually an old question, but it was so fun, I'm bringing it back! So #MomsWritersClub, what would it be? Mine would be "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," by U2! #WritingCommunity #author

If your book had a theme song, what would it be?

Jessica Payne, Thriller Author @jessicapayne.bsky.social · 22/02/2024

Q3 #MomsWritersClub! For me, it depends on the book. With my current WIP, it was definitely the beginning--breaking in, figuring out the voice, what I wanted the book to feel like. With other books it's been the middle or the end #writingcommunity

What's the hardest part of the book for you to write?

Jessica Payne, Thriller Author @jessicapayne.bsky.social · 22/02/2024

Q2. This question comes from @thegallowcat.bsky.social ! Thanks, Shay. Tell us what "good writing" means to you. For me, this is less about having grammatically correct writing than having a voice that is interesting, that I want to know more about. And then good storytelling. #MomsWritersClub
