@AllisonAuthor My husband literally just offered this to me as a Mother’s Day present. Maybe our exhaustion is noticeable...

@JoyEllenhall I can imagine it translating well on screen, too. Have you read Legendborn by Tracy Deonn? That also gives me made-for-movie vibes. I can't wait for both of their second books!

I started Wings of Ebony late this evening & I’m already finished.

Book 2 is going to be amazing, no doubt! 💥

I met my 30k WIP #CampNanoWriMo goal!

This month, I'll flesh it out and bump it up to 50k. #writing #WritingCommunity

@TobieCarter6190 Oh, Tobie. Your love for your brother shines through every word you’ve shared with us.

Sending love and healing support to you and your family. And yes, his spirit truly lives on.

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@AllisonAuthor Absolutely! For me, it was in the opposite direction due to the pandemic. When we saw how much we had SAVED keeping Little Man at home, my jaw dropped.

It really shouldn’t be like this.

@AuthorCharish Oooh all of this sounds awesome! Raising my hand to be a CP/beta reader. Academia, life & love abroad (US & Germany) ✅✅ ✅

And so many of us will gobble up the non-tenure track perspective. Keeping it very real these days!

Her eyes shone brightly with fury, tears, and determination.

“I don’t miss loving you, Rafik. I never stopped.
But I still believe I made the right choice rejecting a boy’s love so he’d take the opportunity to become the man you are today. I don’t regret that.”

I’ve been off Twitter to focus on #writing. It’s paying off! I hit a few bumps, but I’m now past the halfway mark on my WIP!! 18,463/30k

@authorjesspayne I use a PO Box, but there’s also a newsletter option with ConvertKit that lets you use their address.

You don’t have to pay for ConvertKit until you’re past 1,000 subscribers. Maybe that could be an option?

@MarlynnOfMany Tip-toes could work, thanks!

Right now, I’ve got “elevated herself using the balls of her feet” which is probably too wordy.

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

How do you say “tippy-toes” without saying, well, “tippy-toes”? #CampNanoWriMo #writing

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@RichardsonTmm You know, like Cherish said. You did what was best for YOU.

We’re so conditioned to feel guilty about making the RIGHT choices, the ones that fulfill us long-term. You’re creating so much joy doing what you love!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@kathycowley Omg that’s amazing!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

Watching a #HouseHunters episode where the couple’s top budget is $250,000 & they’re expecting to buy a modern palace.

Meanwhile, folks in California are watching this like it’s a comedy show. What house costs $250k these days?!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@cshank19 Great analogy, Cierra. Thanks for sharing your experiences & best of luck to you!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@AuthorEdenC Well done!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@TobieCarter6190 Fingers crossed and best of luck!

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

@kathycowley Exactly! That happens to me as well. Soooo frustrating. Kind of like a weekend warrior for writing, then crashing during the week, lol.

My goal with this #CampNanoWriMo MS is to focus on consistency first & pacing myself second (despite the temptation to push, lol).

[Anita👩🏾‍💻 @writeitdear]

Knocked out another 1.1k words today.
This part of the MS is moving along smoothly—I met my #writing target in 30 minutes!

Sticking to 1k daily seems to be working, so I’m trying not to push beyond that. It’s a comfortable pace. 🐌 #CampNanoWriMo #WritingCommunity
