GM #5AMWritersClub First fall Friday! Something about early fall makes me want to cancel everything, make a fire & read. 🍂🔥📚 Plus a week from today I’ll be driving to a writers’ festival with one of my besties from writers' group. Fall really knows how to make writers happy.🥰

GM #5AMWritersClub #WednesdayWords 1️⃣Flâner: wander aimlessly to enjoy sights, or the moment. #writerslife✍️☕ 2️⃣Douceur: sweet/softness. In fall, the French refer to la douceur de l'automne—a gentle, golden quality of early fall before harsh weather sets in. Do you have favourite writerly & fall words?

GM 5AMWritersClub While following my novel's characters, I found myself on a French train as a storm swept through. My mystery: set on a train🔍...I felt as if I'd stepped inside my book. Train was forced to stop, same reason & station evacuated. No murders thankfully🙏. #LifeImitatesArt #TrainTuesday

GM #5AMWritersClub A year ago, I joined 🦋! A year of books📚, encouragement, humour, early mornings, writerly rabbit holes & questionable amounts of coffee☕✨ What's still true today: We write alone…but need community. Thanks for being part of my mine here. Onward to year 2! ✨ #WritingCommunity✍️

GM #5AMWritersClub and #WritingCommunity... It must be 5 am somewhere + it's my last day of vacay. I can still read, write, enjoy coffee...but it just is NOT PARIS😭 Upside: research trip was highly productive, esp. in Paris & Arles. So grateful to LUMA Arles & Drum cafe staff. #amwriting✍️ #mystery

A three-panel comic illustration demonstrating how perspective changes a message.In the top-left panel, a person looks at a white brick wall from a sharp angle, where the red graffiti reads, "JUST DO NOTHING."In the top-right panel, a different person looks at the connecting wall from the opposite angle, where the graffiti reads, "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE."The bottom panel reveals the full corner view where both walls meet. From this centered perspective, the two phrases combine cleanly to read, "JUST DO IT" on the top line and "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" on the bottom line.

GM #5AMWritersClub I'm back! Can't wait to see what everyone's been up to. 3 weeks ago, I went offline to follow the footsteps👣 of my #mystery novel characters in France. They sure didn't disappoint. Day 1: after eating at Le Train Bleu, we boarded the train🚆 to Avignon🔎... #writerslife #booksky

Greetings #5AMWritersClub Super early (or is it late?) post. Flying to #France tomorrow. I’ll be swapping my desk for cafés☕🥐, trains, seasides, art galleries, jazz, markets...and, of course, mystery field research. Fellow writers: may you write & read wonders✨ À bientôt, mes amis! #amwriting✍️

GM #5AMWritersClub On my last #WednesdayWord before France, two favourite French words: choubidou, shoo-bee-doo, is an affectionate term like “cutie pie”. Époustouflant is a joy to say (if you can manage to pronounce “ey-pous-tou-flant”). It means “breathtaking” ⬇️ like Sainte-Chapelle. #writerslife

🦋V. Bohème🦋 @vboheme.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

GM #5AMWritersClub I'm so excited! A week from today, I'll be in France. Can't wait to spend mornings sitting outside with a daily paper (and coffee of course). Hope I can write some words today, or edit something other than my itinerary🤔. Happy writing!✍️☕

Happy Friday #5AMWritersClub "I'm late i'm late for a very important date." Will forego my sun salutation🧘‍♀️today (ouchy back), but determined to solve my own 2nd mystery...🤔 Hitting pause on the draft to figure out whodunnit. Here’s to some weekend inspiration for all the creatives out there ✨✍️🎨.

GM #5AMWritersClub If you could steal a work of art from a French museum, which would it be? Asking for a mystery writer.😁🔎✍️ Seriously, I'll be in France researching places & art for my series--I'd love to hear any art gallery recommendations--maybe lesser known gems💎like #59Rivoli ⬇️ #amwriting

GM #5AMWritersClub As the long-debated chicken & egg conundrum, in English we muse: Did orange (fruit) or colour come first? Its etymology is traced to a 1st-century Indian text & refers to a naranga tree & later shows up as #WednesdayWord ORANGE in French, the fruit.🍊🧡 Zhao Lingrang's orange:

#5AMWritersClub Countdown to summer vacation is on! Dreams of cobblestone streets, discovering undiscovered artists, #reading & #writing in cafes, thinking about my ancestors...✍️📚☕ Did you know the croissant's ancestral roots can be dated back to a 13th-century Austrian crescent-shaped pastry?🥐

GM #5AMWritersClub Packing today for a road trip and more family visits. Countdown is also on for our vacation to France. AND trying to focus on the 2nd book of my planned #mystery series. #amwriting Book 2 plot⬇️: or she might hit her own head with a rock and knock herself out of the tree😁

GM #5AMWritersClub Given my upcoming field research in France, my #WednesdayWord is louche: “not reputable or decent” When extremely judgmental, we likely narrow our eyes to communicate disapproval. Without knowing it, we are expressing the history of louche. #amwriting✍️☕ Toulouse Lautrec:

GM #5AMWritersClub Songs can change how we move through the world. 'Falling Slowly' did that for me. I doubted my voice belonged in certain rooms. Sometimes we need to be reminded our voice is worthy. You've still got time. RIP Glen Hansard🙏 #amwriting #workingclass www.youtube.com/watch?v=agf4...

GM #5AMWritersClub I was reading a novel yesterday. It had 'large' words. Then I read the quote below. Both can exist, and beautifully, I think, but that sentiment of writing as if we were the first person on earth passing on to a friend what we experienced--that warms my heart💗 #amwriting✍️☕

🦋V. Bohème🦋 @vboheme.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

G'day fellow #5AMWritersClub Possibly on a Monday, Voltaire said, "the most important decision you will ever make is to be in a good mood." My cantakerous feline overlord & I mounted our own opinion on this matter:😁 Happy Monday! #amwriting✍️ and needs lots of☕☕☕

🦋V. Bohème🦋 @vboheme.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

GM #5AMWritersClub Ah, glorious Sunday--today, I'm dreaming up the literary cafe/bookshop for the setting in the 2nd mystery of my planned series. I like brick & stone, thick wood, plush seats, bookshelves sagging with books, evocative artwork...the sound of rain... You? #writingcommunity✍️☕

GM #5AMWritersClub and #WritingCommunity For today's Wednesday words, I'm sharing two faves to describe setting: petrichor & sussurus Petrichor (n.): an earthy scent that rises after rain falls on dry ground. Susurrus (n.): a soft whispering or rustling sound. #amwriting✍️☕📚

GM #5AMWritersClub and #WritingCommunity The plot isn't always on the page-I also plot about places to return later this summer--some for novel's research but many for sentimental reasons... Les bouquinistes ( #Paris iconic booksellers) along both sides of the Seine: always a must. #amwriting✍️☕📚
