Woop woop!

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Feeling really proud to be a born and raised Ohioan right now.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@AuthorFranWong Chicken Tenders honestly. Usually when I have a meltdown over something, my husband takes me to Canes and I feel better.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@RichardERock1 Black Sheep and proud.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@kelly_ques Physical. I did try digital at one point with my iPad, but I didn't like it and found it hard to find motivation to keep going with it. I now have a spiral bound Happy Planner and I'm in love.

How's everyone doing so far for #NaNoWriMo? I'm cheering you all on from the sidelines as I sip my overpriced coffee and cry over edits.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@invis4yo Agreed. Think of it this way: someone giving advice based off of how they were parented. Especially with trauma.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Happy #NaNoWriMo everyone!

[pri 🌸 @priyasprose]

people who consistently write on the sidelines while being full time employees/students . how. HOW DO YOU DO IT

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@priyasprose Actually going to a cafe or coffee shop on my days off to write is considered self care in my book. And I like working on my stories on my hour lunch breaks.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@theoneginevra I understand where they’re coming from so it doesn’t bother me. I too have a lot of trouble getting out of bed in the morning.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@darkxfer Yay! Good!

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Any writer peers still on here anymore???

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@Robinov14 All this talk of having to pay to use this place, I'm wondering who is all getting scared off! At least some of us are persisting!

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Working on edits. Only on chapter 15/39. 😭

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@katieemorann No! It is up to the person with the food preference to inquire.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@JaeMargal 25!

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Honestly thinking of not doing #nanowrimo now. I’m also a manager in retail. With the holidays—I might have to tap out for my mental well being with my debut novel draft that still needs worked on after its first round of edits (that I want to get ready asap for betas).

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

Honestly overwhelmed with #preptober for #nanowrimo when I have so many books I want to read. And my normal pace is 1-2 books a month…I have 4 books on my physical TBR while a 0 draft of a novel to write next month.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

@NoContextHumans Living in the USA where it’s called the land of the free, but no one can afford anything, you go into debt for wanting an education, you work til you’re depressed, and you get taxed over everything. People would rather go deathly ill than to attempt to afford a doctors bill.

[Gretchen McCarthy @Gretch_Writes]

My #VictoriasSecret card doesn’t work at Bath and Body Works anymore so now I’m just gonna let it close. 😂 I only had it to build credit when I graduated HS. Nothing at that store fits me and the discontinued my favorite perfume so BYE.
