A family thing happened and I wasn’t able to be there tonight.
Did anyone show up? Did anyone share some new pages? I know Mikaela is planning on sharing some soon.

I so appreciate you stepping in! And yes! That is great advice! Would you be willing to read my little 14,000-word opus? It’s for a middle grade graphic novelette

a short poem about procrastination
PROCRASTI-NATE Im procrastinathan cuz i check the news And Hill Street blues The herky-jerky fuse Of the day’s detonator— Old U2 lyrics And the preacher in The old gospel hour Taking money from the sick And the old. Spent all day knowing I’d need to get SOMETHING written. That’s the thing I swore to myself I’d do, yes? So do it. And tho I’ve had since 7pm And tho I’ve squandered it until now Almost 11. When I’m tired I’m still that kind of NATE today. Tho I’ve learned to jump in and get things done. I’m not perfect. I stare at the black screen Then open my eyes And stare at a black screen TURN ON THE LAPTOP COMPUTER I must work. I must write something tonight. I always feel better when I do.

Here's a "Nate Note"---something to remember...that I found about maintaining MOMENTUM in your story
Guys, I've enjoyed Tiffany Yates Martin's work for years. She writes excellent articles that help authors be their best writing selves, and this new one is no exception. Yes, she's more specifically about helping novelists, but story is story, and this new one is great. Enjoy! https://www.skool.com/understanding-the-zen-of-film-5119/had-to-share-this-excellent-article-on-how-to-build-and-keep-momentum-in-your-story-by-tiffany-yates-martin?p=3d5ab549
