Went through some of the notes on my phone last night and removed 34,000 words??? Like… what??? How did those stack up so much???

I’ve never done hot girl summer but I’m nailing introvert autumn, where we dress like Adam Sandler, stay in our houses that smell like candles & baked goods, and read all the books.

“I have forced myself to begin writing when I’ve been utterly exhausted, when I’ve felt my soul as thin as a playing card… And somehow that activity of writing changes everything.” - Joyce Carol Oates. #WritingCommmunity

Me as a teenager: I want to be the main character. Me as an adult: I want to be a side mouse character in Redwall. I’ll wear tiny woolly cloaks and eat apple cinnamon pies and my only worry is will we have enough dandelion cordial for the upcoming feast.

writing is all fun and games until you're sat there bawling your eyes out at something you've just written

Our high temp for today is only 2 degrees so I think I’ll wear my comfiest pajamas, find some chocolate, and settle in to do some #writing #WritingCommmunity
