Getting ready for Day 2 of my Advent Subathon. Join me for some end-of-year productivity while also just having a cozy, chill hang out with people during a hectic time. During breaks, I'm reading from #AChristmasCarol to get everyone in the mood with zero Mariah Carey in sight. ;-)

Although we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa, it’s still a good time to practice some gratitude. What are you thankful for?

Although we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in South Africa, I thought I'd practice some gratitude.

I’m dealing with some exhaustion at the moment. It sucks. But it reminded me yet again why it’s important to show myself some compassion. #writing #chronicexhaustion #writingcommunity

On the plus side…. the two-hour meeting is done before the day properly starts. On the downside…. WHY 9 AM THOUGH??? T_T

Sometimes, it's a drag to schedule things. Other times, though.... it's nothing short of miraculous. I made a few small changes to how I scheduled my most important things and suddenly, things are fitting in again. ^_^

It's been a while, but I'm still alive. Just got hit out of left field with a big project, which I'm still adjusting to. So today I'm running a flow stream if anyone wants to body double or just listen to calming music while we get things done. twitch.tv/mishagerrick

Just a reminder for #writersofblueksy: Nothing you wrote is a waste. Maybe you'll never publish what you wrote today, but you have a better idea of what you want to say and how to say it. The act of writing is a reward in itself. Never forget that.

LOL gotta say giving Chewie the German Shepherd ear meds is like trying to get a dirty four-year-old boy into a bath. I literally had to trick him, catch him, and trap him in the house so I could get him to stay still for the drops. #dogsofbluesky #gottalovedoggos

Today, for the first time since the before times in 2019, I actually feel like I'm not burned out. Yes, I get exhausted, but my brain is actually responsive and creative when I need to call up new ideas.
Honestly, I'm really proud of this moment. I worked hard and learnt so much to get here.

Let's talk about the #GenCon panel on AI I I did with @bradymcagent.bsky.social @jasonsanford.bsky.social and @johannah.bsky.social who moderated. This was a difficult conversation b/c we realized a # of people came looking for HOW to use AI in their creative writing. That's not what they got.
