Do you ever wonder what Merriweather's gift would have been if Maleficent didn't swoop in and curse Aurora? #SleepingBeauty

TIN that instead of journaling, I've been writing extended Reddit posts about things bothering me in my life that I had no intention of posting.

I used to think "god, that was a waste of time," but now it's an act of catharsis. #selfcare #journaling

Hot take: It's not "motherhood" that's the problem. It's the societal brainwashing.

If you put the same amount of time into your kids as you did into that report for your boss due Monday, you'd feel more fulfilled in your role as a mother. S,NS.

@DerWieser Well, considering no one has ever bought my book, and I still write, I guess the answer is yes, Daniel.

Nine years ago in a bar a drunk guy called me a "gypsy witch" and accused me of trying to steal his watch. It has since become my whole personality.

It's a real vibe.

You ever start reading a new book and it makes you rethink your ENTIRE WIP?

I hate this feeling.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@struutinsky Ahhaha! That's a good one! Oh, wait...are you supposed to resist that when you have a WIP?

Yikes.....

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

I love how jobs applications be like "hey, send me previous decks you've worked on" like I'm supposed to send them proprietary information created in shared drives that I no longer have access to...

Hearing people fall all over themselves defending AI is like if the creator of Cliffsnotes said, "the interaction with Cliffsnotes means you'll be BETTER at reading comprehension by not reading the book." 🙄

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

Oh no...my finished manuscript just shook me out of my delusion and said "hey, I need at least three more chapters, dude."

Never Finished...#thestruggleisreal

@DzintraSullivan Benny would always get top billing.

@elonmusk Frankly, as a woman, I’m far more offended by the fact that “father” is NATURAL PARENT, while mother might as well be “semen receptacle.”

They really hate real women, don’t they.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@AuthorAltoft 100% terrified.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@pippawestauthor They think they’re soooooo clever.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@_GregoryMichael Thank you 🙏 Been querying my 1st manuscript with expected rejections in the hopes of traditional publishing.

Great reviews from my betas, but doesn’t check any “topical” boxes.

It was a struggle to accept the self publishing route. So bad at self promotion. This helps.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@Biznitch1177 As an elder millennial, all the freaking time.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@AuthorGFAllen Has to serve the plot. Of course, my favorite is fabulous subtext. Like, two characters talking about grilled cheese but really they’re talking about self-doubt and generational trauma. You know, casual stuff.

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

@HeyLucasClay I tried out Speechify to read my manuscripts to me solely for editing purposes - because I’m a totally successful author but I still can’t tell the difference between “breath” and “breathe” 🫠

[Catie Moyer @gypsywitchcc]

Am I the only one out here writing on Pages or Google Docs because I'm not giving into Microsoft dominance of writing platforms?

Like...I would rather etch my book into a stone wall than pay for Word.
