1,450 words
2 cups of coffee
1 slice of toast with jam
And 1 jogging session successfully avoided thanks to the storms this morning.

All-in-all, a pretty good morning.

@VickieMWV Thanks for the thoughts. Got released last night. Nothing chronic, thank goodness. Something I ate was contaminated or underprepared it seems. Got released last night. Still not feeling the best but hoping to be back at it this week! Hope all is well with with you

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

I’m here in spirit #5amWritersClub.

Got admitted to the hospital last night with a 105 temp. They have run tests all night, can’t get my temp down, and have no clue why.

SMH. All I can think about is that I won’t be meeting my word goal today!!

Managed 850 words before needing to head to the office. Hope you also had a productive morning

@VickieMWV Nothing wrong with that!
Gotta make time for life cause us writers can get caught up in our made-up worlds sometimes!

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

Happy Labor Day #5amWritersClub!!
Anyone else still up and going today?

With #NaNoWriMo2022 right around the corner, how many of you are beginning preparations?

How are you preparing?
- Plotting an outline
- Prospecting characters
- Building new worlds
- Mapping a schedule
- Just panicking!

Whatever it may be, I wish you success!

Good Morning #WritingCommunity!

Have you been to a writing/book convention and heard a speaker that really resonated with you?

And if you have never been to one, I would highly encourage you to do so at least once! #5amwritersclub

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

Good Morning #5amWritersClub!

Coffee!
That is all…

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

@VickieMWV Hahaha.

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

Good Morning #5amWritersClub.

Many of you might be too young for this, but…

Do you ever feel that your brain is a VHS tape that you forgot to rewind?

You want to work, but you’re stuck waiting for the flashes of yesterday to reset first.

Just me? Sigh…

Good Morning #5amWritersClub ☕️

Before you write, is there anything you do that sets your mind in the right frame? A cup of coffee or tea? Or maybe you dump a few hundred sacrificial words on a page to warm up the thinker?

@noelle_nichols Music is a 100% must if I’m writing in a busy environment! Stops me from getting too distracted.

And I love the fountain thing!! I have a this little fountain for my cats’ water that gives me a nice ambience.

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

@David__Hiker Me, picturing you in a dark room with developing photographs hanging all around on strings while a creepy red glow saturates the room.

[WhitakerWritings @WhitakerWritin1]

Good Morning #5amwritersclub.

Where do you write?

Do you have an office at home or do you just write at the dining room table?

Is there a favored coffee shop with ambient life flowing in the background and the gentle smell of heaven to inspire your words?

@VickieMWV Lol. I don’t know how you survive without coffee!!! I have anxiety just thinking about it. My at home setup isn’t much different than yours.
