Well, Trackbear doesn't seem to be working, but I've got Dabble. Hit 50k for (non)NaNoWriMo. This is the first time I haven't felt burnt out after, so... going to go for gusto. 95k by 12/31, and hopefully a finished first draft (who am I kidding, it'll end up much longer).

@BestofBuffy This quote lives rent free in my brain more than it probably should

If you want to become a successful author, the most important thing ISN'T:
-to get an MFA
-to build a huge social media following
-to make connections w/ people in the industry

It’s actually quite simple: 🧵

"If you touch that, it’s going to explode!”
I glanced up at the radio’s tiny vid screen to see if Vik was yelling at his crew or about the dead generator about to be autopsied on my work table.

@melon_reads Yeah, SC here. It's in all the grocery stores.

Have only about four or five chapters left to write on this rough draft. This is the closest I've ever come to finishing something since a friend and I wrote a romcom inspired by the two student teachers we were convinced were banging in high school 😂

@girlonfire_92 Hello!

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]

@bybridgettev I have no idea when mine started. I was bleach blonde for years, went brown around 27, and then half my bangs grew in gray. I was horrified.

Highlights help lol

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]

@Robinov14 @itsmylibrary Yes, I'm the same way!

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]

@itsmylibrary Garbage if I'm sprinting or trying to hit a word count. Otherwise I will agonize over the same three paragraphs for an hour or two. Though sometimes it just flows!

Just finished reading Heartless Hunter and I am not okay

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]

Oh, you know. Just finally starting my writing day at 1am and going to forgo proper sleep the night before having a house full of people because my characters are fighting and I can't let them go to bed angry

@brentyeaaa How about, attempting to be a writer when not chasing my feral toddler?

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]

I will forever love this trope

[Audrey Blackstone @mamathewriter]
