I used names from my mother's journals. Old family members and friends that I have never known. At least to vicariously live again in my novels. #wip
I feel words tumbling In the morass of my brain Not another sentence Used over and over again Try something different See what you can write But the body says I'm tired So we're going to say good night #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #vss365 #poetry
Most of my yard furniture is already wrapped up for the winter. I have also cleared a place to write this winter, upstairs facing south.
I am feeling very confident right now. ❤️🥰❤️
Thank you @sarahhealeyeditor.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️ #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365 #poetry

prompts✅ morning housework✅ Time for personal maintenance and figuring out how to make the latest creative psychologically orgasmic revelation work in Book 3. So excited 🤣 #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365
I'm not built to be bored, that's all.
Very well said.

Write it all down in an outline while it is fresh. Let it simmer, cook it up later, and serve juicy.
24/7 brother 👍
I have somethings on Substack equally haunting
Thank you, i have been watching people return to their homes after the wildfires this year. This morning's prompts were the catalyst I needed
My brother has become a big fan, compliments like that are huge.
Thank you!
I now have enough food in the house for a small army. Probably need more tomorrow. On a happy note, printer paper was on sale at Costco. #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365
It's more like cathartic for me, as it lets me live vicariously through my characters. 🤣
There is no grass For child's play The earth is one With smoke and ash No hearth , no home No barn, no crop What was saved The meager stock With sweat and toil Blood and soil Reclaim what was And begin anew #mpprompt #poetry #prompt #5amwritersclub #writing #vss365 #amwriting

The complete story of Nana's Table is live now! Enjoy! #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365 open.substack.com/pub/tomaspei...
In the #wip I crawled back through my mother's journal & photos to adopt names of family members who were slightly mentioned so they wouldn't be forgotten Perhaps they might enjoy a new life in my imagination #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365
Thanks
Thanks, it's coming along. Most of what I am reading lately is basic writing and grammar stuff that I never paid attention to in school. So that is helpful in putting everything together.
Book 3: the hockey pool is made of the friends of the cop from the second book and they figure out the stuff from B1 and B2 and want to clean up the mess. They don't know his twin brother is back in the country cleaning up another mess. Hilarity ensues Outline stage 25% done & char sketches done
Book2: a cop with terminal cancer finds out someone who looks just him threw a drug dealer out of a 5th floor window and that guy's minions think they can use one to get the other. Someone also thinks he knows what happened to the money Might be published by the end of the year
Book 1: housing contractor needs more money to fund projects, starts selling drugs, makes money, coworker has the money, killed in accident, no one can find it. Skip ahead, a guy buys an apartment building and hopes to flip for big bucks Finds more than he bargained for. Outline stage 75% done
Wow, you are my new favorite person. 😊 No one has asked me this yet Debatable Morality is the middle of 3 books and is my current #wip and i am working on the 3rd rewite DM: beginnings I started 5 years ago,never finished and is almost a new outline DM: The hockey pool is the sequel working on it

Right now I'm using Libre, an offline diary app, google docs, and grammarly.
I think I am going to post that on my motivation board. 🤣
Eleven sections into the rewrite and my brain is mush. I start with Chapter ten tomorrow hopefully it will be better Figured out today that this is actually the second rewrite not counting the punctuation/spell check But... #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writesky #Wip #vss365
I am questioning everything I work with now. 😡F***

Peter and Chris stared at the #flat while they figured out what to do next. Without a clue #between them, they discussed whether they would die of exposure or wolves before anyone noticed. #2wordprompt #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365
Saint John, New Brunswick. The east coast of Canada on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. The highest tidest in the world and some of the coldest waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. After the Colonial War, Saint John was settled by a large number of loyalists, most notably Benedict Arnold.

It's the background for the prequel. Saint John has notorious fog.
Wow. I have fog. Grey on a gray background. A moist morning.

Tried writing a sci-fi/fantasy thing, hated it. Romance, it happens helps to lighten the mood between stabby-stabby parts. I like the problem solving parts of a mystery and making it up in the first place.

When i wasn't being the physio assistant, I checked the bills, did the laundry, and finished the table which has become a weird short story on its own. A nice quiet birthday all the same #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writerscommunity #writesky #Wip #vss365 #poetry #photography
I get it. I don't write fantasy but I had an idea to revisit a story I half remembered from highschool. I ended up letting it die a horribly quick death and went on to write a long poem about the life of a tree.
