Nice person, dark stories. OPPOSITE OF GRAY out now!

Sometimes you can't do anything about the things you can see.

After work last night I took a walk on our gravel and of course I found a "treasure rock" which is the name for any rock I feel the need to pick up.

Is picking up cool rocks an author/artist thing or just a cool person thing? I don't know, you tell me. 😉

This is out behind our place in a little strip of woods. I call her the Baby Face Stump.

I feel like if I wrote horror novels, Baby Face Stump would have to make an appearance. 🤣

When I was little, they’d ask “what do you want to be when you grow up?”

But I never said writer because I already was a writer and I thought you had to be something different when you grew up.

@author_jessa It's interesting those things that come into my head when I'm not quite awake yet. Good point about it maybe not being as censored because that part hasn't had its coffee yet. ;)

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

@SueBerkKoch At first glance, I thought that picture was of a birthday cake for the dog and the sprouts were candles 🤣I should maybe have more coffee. Welcome back!

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

@kizletwiggle You are correct. :)

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Post a photo from one of your favorite movies of all time.

Bonus points for y'all if you can name it.

Post a photo from one of your favorite movies of all time.

Bonus points if anyone knows what it is.

Ok Gen Xrs, you know this one

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Good morning. I was hoping one of you all brought the coffee on this Saturday edition of #5amWritersClub...

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Me, 3 months ago:

This is the most epic piece of writing I've ever done.

Me, reading the same piece today as I edit:

What half-ass demon invaded my body and vomited this onto the page?

Many years ago I took the kids to B&N and said "I love walking in to a bookstore because it makes me want to write a lot of books" and my son said very matter of factly "then why don't you just, you know... write a lot of books?" <3 #WritingCommunity

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

@writefrommygut Agree! I mean, I love BASIL but I also love CILANTRO. The world is big! It's okay to dig into whatever pieces you love and leave what you don't. <3

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Came back from grabbing breakfast and these dogs are trying to convince me that FLOOR NAPTIME is where it's at and that I don't need to go back to my desk to write the words but I shall persevere. 🤣 #WritingCommunity

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

@NathanJonesBook I generally have decent variations of sentence structure; I catch a few to fix later as I read aloud. :)

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Such a great article. Stop putting your writing (your life?) into little bricks and separate blocks. You are more than BASIL. ;)

[Nadine | Write From My Gut @writefrommygut]

To #niche or not to niche? 🤔

A year ago, I was told to choose a niche or quit writing.

My latest newsletter shares why I tried to avoid the term & write from my gut.

Enjoy & have an amazing Friday!

Some mornings I write letters to myself as a way to work through things. This morning's note before #5amwritersclub?

"You're a writer. Why are you pissing around with all this other stuff? Your business is the written word. Go. Write. Your. Books."

Sometimes I'm so smart. 🤣

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Happy Friday, #5amwritersclub. How lucky are we that we get the spend the morning slinging words on to a page?

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

@RaeleeCarpenter I love that people can find different stuff in a piece of writing... but dude, sometimes it's just about the moon.

[Shay Ray Stevens @shayraystevens]

Like that time in college the teacher spent an entire hour on The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams and got mad when I raised my hand and suggested that, I don't know, maybe he was just writing about a red wheelbarrow he saw?
