Still reeling after reading #Blitz. I have now (as with every time Mr. O’Malley writes a book) reread #TheRook and am beginning #Stiletto. So excited!

A dear family member passed away this morning. The family’s on Facebook, and I know they’ll want their privacy, but this is my little remembrance working for him tonight, hundreds of miles away. #WitchyThings #InMemoriam #InMemory #BlessedBe

5,300 words behind, but we inch ever closer to the finish line. Today, a politician wanted to speak; and my human girl told me she’s taking her turn tomorrow, whether I’m ready or not. So my fairy girl agreed to finish up her turn and share the spotlight. Can’t wait! #NaMoWriMo22

5,600 words behind, but one girl has a crush now. The neighborhood has a culture. It’s chaos and sweetness and certainly can’t be perfect. But it’s working. Main girl is sick. But her voice is developing. #NaNoWriMo22 #Planner #DumbCrush

Today’s adventures: writing on the school bus and praying the word count is enough; coming up with characterization and finer plot details without notes and just leaving blanks; and hoping for violence to come up eventually. #NaNoWriMo22 #WriteAnywhere

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Okay, so far we have… *checks notes* Zombie cats, teen drama, and a cold. #NaNoWriMo22 #VaguePosting

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Yay #NaNoWriMo! I’m 6,000 words behind but this is fine! 😬 Also, finally moved to character 3 - she finally has a plot! Yay! #PlotShenanigans

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Lesson of day 3: stop writing while driving. Find an alternative. (In other news, the plot thickens with internal turmoil and family drama! Yay teenagers!) #NaNoWriMo22 #VaguePosting #DRAMA #WhyAreTeenagers

Oh to be a scare actor like this

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

After day 2 of the novel-writing process, we have some poor writing, but also a plot. And now the quest has been established. #NaNoWriMo22 #VaguePosting #200ShittyWordsADay

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Day 1 of the actual novel writing process, and we already have a dramatic teenage breakup. 😬 The joys of high school? #NaNoWriMo22 #VaguePosting #NewNovel #Chapter1 #DRAMA

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Oh tragic Fiona of Spargo, you are trying so hard to bridge the worlds! #VaguePosting #NaNoWriMo2022

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

Welcome to my Twitter, where I’ve decided it’s time to start #VaguePosting about my upcoming #NaNoWriMo project. To begin: the history of the world is a complex mess

@Phantomarine_ Jeff has SEEN SOME SHIT

You know, no matter how rough life gets, I’m really grateful for @AIMenken’s “Out There” - it always gets me through. #grateful #mycopyistornalltohellfromplaying

[Shelby Murphy @TricksyWight]

I marvel at how @neilhimself can go from something as light as Professor Bananas to something as haunting as Click Clack the Rattlebag. I am still stuck on several of last night’s stories, and still loving your advice on teenagers. #GoodStories
