If you do not write today, every time you crack open a soda, it will fizz over just enough to get your hand sticky. You've been warned on this day. #booktok #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #PublishedAuthor #WriteEveryday

What a beautiful thing to think about, and such motivation for each of us to freely, weirdly give our creative selves to the world.

This is my reminder -- and maybe yours! -- to #WriteEveryDay ♥️

thinking about Patrick Stewart and Tim Curry and Dolly Parton and Catherine O’Hara and how many of the tributes shared after they died translate to something like “their art made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the world”

it is hard to think of a better way to spend a life than that

If you do not write today, every shower you take will require a full minute of adjusting the water before it's the right temperature. It's gonna be way too hot and then way too cold. Nothing will be right. You have been warned. #booktok #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #PublishedAuthor #WriteEveryday

We all have down days. Passed 3 days I've come down with something and even I didn't write, read, or post here. That doesn't mean I've failed, but it means we are only human. Keep on writing the good write! #writeeveryday
