Editing an old draft into...something (?). My goal is to have a complete outline + 20K words in 30 days, writing 20 minutes a day. The Write Brave Challenge is underway! #WriteBraveChallenge #WriteBrave #AmWriting #LetsWrite

Countdown to the Fall Write Brave Challenge! This year I'll be shifting from my usual Celtic-themed fare to some American-based paranormal stories. Ghosts know no borders 👻Join the writing fun with @writersatelier #amwriting #amwritingparanormalfiction #writebravechallenge

That's a wrap...on this draft, anyway. Time to put away the paranormal and get cozy for a little while. For the #WriteBraveChallenge I will be working on the sweet romance story I outlined for the last WBC. Follow @SeeBridgetWrite on IG for updates.

And now for the accurate Week 10 update! Broke the 40K mark, which is very exciting for a "minimalist" writer like myself, who struggles with meeting the genre expectations of word counts. Still plenty of work to do. #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #writingcommunity #writerslife #blueskywriters

Oops! I forgot to update my word count from week 8 to week 9, d'oh! So, at the end of week 9 (8/15) we were actually at 39,801. Past the halfway mark! #amwriting #thehauntedcelt #blueskywriters #writingcommunity #writerslife

Took a break and now it's back to the grind! Writing into uncharted territory now, adding new scenes to amp up the tension. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #thehauntedcelt

Last week? Yeah, I accomplished nothing. It happens. As writers, we can't get in the habit of beating ourselves up when we don't write. What we CAN do is get back to it. #amwriting #blueskywriters #getwriting

How did I up my word count by 20K in one week?? By inserting all the 3rd draft material that is being kept into the final ("final") draft 😄#amwriting #amediting #thehauntedcelt #writinglife #writingcommunity #halfwaythere #skywriters

Caty McGill @thehauntedcelt.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

Adventures in editing continue. Is it really just "editing" when you've rebuilt your protagonist, reintroduced a previously cut character, and reframed the whole inciting indecent? #thehauntedcelt #amwriting #amediting #isthereanybodyoutthere #writerslife #skywriters

Fake agency alert: Dan Baror International Literary Agency, obviously trying to trick writers into believing they're being contacted by Baror International Inc. (a real agency). The About Us page has been "borrowed", in re-worded form, from the real Baror website danbaror-intliteraryagency.com

“Nobody could have seen this coming.” In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.

Finally got to watch this absolute masterpiece last night and am spending the day reading/watching all the analysis I avoided so it wouldn't be spoiled 😄 There are so many layers of brilliant storytelling in this film. #sinnersmovie

They pass this crap #budget but a lot of the effects won't be felt right away. This is intentional. People who are outraged now will be dismissed as alarmist when nothing happens immediately. The really bad stuff will happen after 2026 & they'll shift blame to newly elected democrats. Dont forget.

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.” On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

It's been hard to write with the current state of the world but I'm trying to get back to it. Just 20 minutes a day is the goal for this week. 20 minutes of escape and letting the words take me where they will. #letsgo #amwriting #amwritingparanormal #writinglife #blueskywriters

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

A fearless writer and activist, James Baldwin wrote passionately about the Black experience in America, speaking faithfully to the truth of his own experiences. His influence continues in the works of modern writers like Roxane Gay and Colson Whitehead. #blackhistorymonth #blackauthors

I'm sorry, main character, but it's the pit of despair for you. It's for the plot, trust the process. #amwriting #writerslife
