Writing is such a magical gift. We can raise the dead, time travel, and right wrongs - or wrong rights. We can mend fences or build and destroy empires that never existed in real life. We can make readers laugh and cry - sometimes on the same page. Keep writing! #5amwritersclub

Is anyone doing the 12 Days of Booksmas this year? I saw someone is gifting 12 wrapped books to read in the new year (one per month) & I think that sounds like a great idea! At this point, someone could wrap my TBR list & I'd be surprised. #5amwritersclub

Reintroducing myself. I spent my childhood at family gatherings with great food & never a political discussion. I continue that tradition here. I do discuss writing, reading, & cats. Maybe the occasional ghost. But never politics or negative stuff. Wanna hang out? #5amwritersclub

Fell into the rabbit hole of fancy chocolate shops. Being a writer has its perks! #5amwritersclub

Characters are evolving and, with them, the story. Oh, the places they'll go! #5amwritersclub

Starting to really understand why a core theme of dystopian novels is that nobody reads

Happy (finally) Friday, everyone! It's frigid here, but all the trees are still green & some are blooming like it's spring. We're all confused at this point, so enjoy your beverage & your writing session. #5amwritersclub

Got a lot of work done on my script yesterday. Let's hope the muse has had her coffee this morning so we can finish this thing! #5amwritersclub

What if the adults on Charlie Brown sound like that because they are using profanity & have to be censored like radio edit rap songs? #writerthoughts #5amwritersclub

Ok, writers, start your engines! It's time to drive around in circles until we reach the finish line. #5amwritersclub

A lot of familiar faces have vanished from my feed over the years, but to those of you who remain, THANK YOU! We have cultivated this little corner of social media to support each other's work. Writers are welcome here! #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity
THANK YOU to those who amplify the posts of the #WritingCommunity. We've all seen the decline in views and engagement because of all the controversy here. To those remaining, it's more important than ever that we support fellow writers by liking and reposting each other’s work.

I had an "extra" hour this morning due to Daylight Saving Time. I will spend it writing some extra journal passages & shoring up some plot holes in the WIP. #5amwritersclub

People are dressing up at the office for Halloween. I think I will wear my Christmas sweater & go as every retail store right now. Happy Friday, #5amwritersclub

If your character walks into a bar, they had better have a reason for being there. General, time-killing activities do not play well in novels. Make sure your characters have clear reasons for doing things. #5amwritersclub

Why did Morticia choose to name her daughter Wednesday? Wouldn't Monday have been scarier? #writerquestions #5amwritersclub

I remember the days when photos came in packs w/ a sleeve of negatives in case you wanted to reprint that one good one. Now I have to scroll endlessly through the 1000's of thumbnails to find that one good one. #5amwritersclub #hemingwayhouse #waitingmyturn
