We talked a bit about how this idea really shapes the way that we as writers frame failure and rejection. Basically, that we often use "just keep writing" instead of finding healthy, sustainable ways to process feelings of rejection and failure.

There's a house I run by on my usual route with an old yellow lab named Bo Nibbles. I haven't seen Bo all summer, so I'm fairly certain he crossed the rainbow bridge. But I still think of him each time I pass by. Just wanted to say, you never know who's missing your pet with you.

This.

Yup, pretty much how I feel throughout the day 😂

27 years ago I accidentally ran the hardest, strangest Easter egg hunt my hometown had probably ever seen.

Here’s what happened:

Alright, plotters. Tell me how it actually goes down. You get an idea for a book, you open your computer and... write an outline? Or...? I am legitimately curious, as I'm a hardcore pantser & feel lowkey tense until each book is complete, because what if I get lost on my way?

[Heidi Schlottman @HeidiSchlottman]

@CharlesMeyerMN That definitely counts! But just so you know, it’s a coin toss whether you’re the villain or the hero of this story ;)

We all know a writer's Google search history is a storied place, but have we talked about what you think over while you try to fall asleep?

For the last few nights, my thoughts have been around which soul-draining activity would crush someone fastest.

Okay, hear me out - Tinder, but for writers to find CPs based on pitches/experience level/genre. Match, do a ten page swap, see how it goes. If you hit it off, you get to be writing buddies for life! If not, no harm done. Who’s in?

@briellums BLACK MIRROR x ALL THIS TIME

17yo Juliet knows that, with enough surgery, bodies can be mended.
The paranoia triggered by surviving the car crash? Not so much.

As hallucination bleeds into reality, she seeks truth...or chases a delusion that'll fracture her sanity.

Didn’t get picked for Pitch Wars? I didn’t get picked to mentor! Shoot me your pitch in the comments and I’ll pick one to give a FULL MS critique to!

Just got my digital hands on The Devil Makes Three audiobook (by @toribov) and it's a perfectly gray, cold fall day outside - can't wait to go for a walk and dive in after work!

@DrunkScribe We were able to reunite the stray cat we found with his people!

@heyjomachin Yuuup. And when I declined, but said “but I enjoy spending time with you and would like to be friends” I never heard from them again so…I guess all the niceness really was a front. I’m glad we didn’t end up being friends after all.

[Heidi Schlottman @HeidiSchlottman]

@atminn Thanks, friend! 😊

Come see Lord and Lady Jester at the MN Renaissance Festival this Saturday!
(Also, when people ask what hobbies I have aside from writing, I generally show them this photo 😆)

First visit of the season to @MNRenaissance: success!
