Good morning from my writers retreat weekend 📚🖤 It’s a beautiful morning and I’ve gotten some words in while it’s nice and quiet.

I missed #5amwritersclub today, but sleeping in for a change was lovely.

Made it to the Overlook Lodge in Bear Mountain, NY for Horror Reader Weekend 👻📚 Can’t wait to spend the weekend with the coolest folks at the best writer and reader retreat in the area!

Mine were from Lithuania, also at the time part of Russia.

Legit! Most of the books and movies people have said are the “scariest” out there don’t frighten me one bit. It’s just not my kind of scare.

And in that same vein, for instance, the movie that scared me the most, people find hilarious. So it’s so personal.

That sounds like a lot of fun and definitely a rewarding challenge! Best of luck with it 🖤 I think a lot of folks this year are taking on their own versions of the challenge and it’s awesome seeing all the different things we’re all working on.

Dorian J. Sinnott @doriansinnott.bsky.social · 3d

Congratulations! 🥳

Good morning, #5amwritersclub ☕️

It’s Day 6 of #NaNoWriMo / #NovNov already! How have your projects been going for those of you taking on the challenge?

Is anyone working on anything exciting today?

I can imagine! Hopefully the right one comes to you soon. That sounds like a lot of fun, though 🖤

Oooh 👀 Plot twists are so fun! I absolutely feel though. I’m doing my own version of #NovNov — not really to hit the 50k in 30 days but to wrap up some parts of my WIP. I’m glad that folks are using the month for whatever they need to work on!

Dorian J. Sinnott @doriansinnott.bsky.social · 6d

I feel this so hard right now. I am NOT in the mood for work today.

Dorian J. Sinnott @doriansinnott.bsky.social · 6d

There are a bunch of alternatives that have taken over as a replacement this year: Novel November, First Draft Fall, NaNo 2.0, etc.

Novel November actually has a website very similar to the old NaNo one where you can track your word count and join forums!

Dorian J. Sinnott @doriansinnott.bsky.social · 6d

Congratulations on finishing your first draft! 🥳 I hope your edits go well this month. Super excited for you!

Good morning, #5amwritersclub ☕️

I love ginger beer! I usually make an autumn drink with it, mixed with apple cider and orange juice and some cinnamon sticks and star anise. It's soooo good!

Woo-hoo! Managed to wrap up a chapter in my WIP and am starting work on the next. For those of you doing a writing challenge this month, have you met any of your daily goals today?
