I’m not on here much anymore but here’s my Halloween costume this year.
My little half-orc.

First time attempting anything approaching #cosplay and had a lot of fun doing it.

@destynethereal Had a similar thing happen with my therapist! Felt like winning.

My 10yr old had to do a comic bio of a famous Canadian for school, and chose @Cmdr_Hadfield.

I’m a fan.

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

I was feeling a bit grumply, so I bought myself some presents.

Can a writer really have too many craft books?

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

@ericsmithrocks This is the dream right here.

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

Okay. I have until Friday to get a contest submission ready. And by ready, I mean written, and no longer than the word limit, and hopefully somewhat decent.

I can do this.

Maybe.

@AuthorJFuller Gotta support my fellow local authors!

My book The Pirate Queen has hit some big ranks today on Amazon, Kobo, Apple, and Barnes and Noble!!!

@_Corey_Ratliff_ Technical writer and now information/knowledge architect. You’d think I’d be better at outlining but my fiction brain works differently.

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

1500 words into a new short story and I have no idea where it’s going so we’re just gonna buckle up and ride it out and see where we end up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would quite happily listen to Gale of Waterdeep talk about whatever the heck he wanted for hours on end…so it’s very convenient that Tim Downie has a podcast about weird folklore!

Happy birthday to me!

I spent all last year working on solutions for my executive dysfunction with my boss. On Thursday he told me that my job is changing…into one that will require much higher levels of executive functioning.

I’m terrified.

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but you can be successful at work and/or school but also still have ADHD.

@hannahxyang Congrats! I just read it and loved it - well done!

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

Currently sitting in a cold ice rink with my writing tablet, tapping away while my daughter has a skating lesson. During #nanowrimo23, you do what you gotta do to hit that word count.

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

Happy Halloween from me and my very lazy (but very comfy) costume!

I should go.

I just want to write my silly little stories and stare out my window at the grey skies and the autumn leaves swirling about in the window. Alas, the bills must be paid and I married for love instead of wealth. 😠

[E.M. Gaucher @emgaucherwrites]

@JayWatamaniuk It’s weird how much of a difference good presentation on camera can make in the interview process. I’m currently hiring for a role and I definitely notice.

Good luck!
