I'm starting to like writing horror short stories to the point that I'm questioning my sanity more than ever.

Let's be honest, I lost my sanity a looooooong time ago.

There are times where my internal monologue sounds like Professor Dementor from Kim Possible. I'll go from thinking in lowercase letters to screaming all-caps in .02 seconds and it's pure chaos.

I have a question for self-published authors.

I'm thinking about starting to publish some of my work, and I'd like to hear about some of your experiences. I know it's a lot of work. In the end, was it worth it?

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Can anyone in the #WritingCommunity give me tips on how to get through writing burnout? I haven't been able to write since March and I can't take it anymore.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Me: I need to give myself a few days to recover from all the work I had to complete for school.

Also me: *has a to-do list longer than I am tall* ...I don't think I can squeeze it in right now...

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

My grad school thesis is officially approved!!🎉🎉🎉

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Felt chaotic, might write a romance without a happy ending 🥰

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Please tell me I'm not the only person who forgets how to spell the title of their WIP

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Has anyone out in the #WritingCommunity put out a short story collection? I'm thinking about doing that and want to know from someone if it's worth my time.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Does anyone else go through their past writing and go, "Wait, when did I write that?"

I just found an eleven-page short story I wrote in 2021 that honestly was amazing, but I have no recollection of writing it. Happy surprises, I guess.🤷‍♀️

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

I finished the first draft of my thesis...

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

I don't want to say this, because as soon as I do, it's not gonna happen, but I think I might finish the first draft of my thesis within the next week...🤯🥳

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

I hit 75k words on my thesis. 🥳

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

@AbbeyChandler6 YES GIRL! CONGRATULATIONS!

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Me: I have to finish the first draft of my thesis before I go back and make the big changes to the story.

Also me: I have to go back and make the big changes now, otherwise my characters won't forgive each other by the end of the book!

Literally my thought process today.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Me: I'm an adult. I do adulting things, like work full-time, go to school full-time, and have a ✨bedtime✨

Also me: I was wrestling my adult brother (because that's how we get out our inner aggression) and accidentally kicked him in the head. That's how I sprained my toe.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Scratch 50. Just hit 60k. I have no words at this point.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

The "romantic" part of my "romantic thriller" manuscript is in full swing and I'm living for it.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

Does anyone else love writing just because you get to see the numbers in the word count go up?

If this tweet doesn't make sense, forgive me. I'm half-asleep.

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

I reached 50k on my thesis today! Holy cow 🥳🤯

[L.P. Metzger @lpm_writer]

We had a snow day, and I wrote 1,623 words in my thesis today. I am very happy.

And it's also way past my bedtime. Oh well.
