Last June I decided to try #1000wordsofsummer with no plan. This week I finished self-edits on the YA novel that was born of those two generative weeks of disciplined writing! (Just in time to do it all again next week)

This brings me so much joy. #1000wordsofsummer

Wow #1000wordsofsummer starts four weeks from TODAY, on June 1. Are you doing it this year? What are you going to be working on? (I will be working on a new novel set in New Orleans.)

Day 13 of #1000wordsofsummer . Our one-eyed kitten Hopper has taken to falling asleep on my arm while I'm trying to write. He's a five-star snuggler and zero-star accountability partner.

#1000wordsofsummer !! It really works!!

“I’m just living every day on the page, and the page is eternal.”

Really struck by this response from jami attenberg to @KieseLaymon’s letter. #1000wordsofsummer

Good morning, writers! Revised a scene and added a new one this morning. Thanks to #1000wordsofsummer for the momentum! Hope your writing week is starting off well.

I may not complete #1000wordsofsummer today but my son is wearing a bow tie for no particular reason & we have already played 1000 games of summer this morning and it’s not yet 10 a.m.

If tonight’s words can’t be made into a frosty summer beverage, at least let them decorate a windowsill in Paris.🍋
