Write-alongs 10/17-10/20 and bonus writer anxiety dreams

My revision is due today! It’s going in, too. A list of anxiety dreams I have had in the past three days:

The scary things that happens in the book is happening! And it’s scary. And also, I’ve written it totally wrong and must re-write it and dream it again. In the dream.

Waking up constantly to revise the thing I’ve just written. In my dream.

I need to work but I cannot because:

  • my daughter’s hockey team is doing homework in my office.

  • Peter Dinklage, with an impressive array of weaponry including a band saw, wants to talk to me about taking care of our possum problem. (we don’t, to my knowledge, have a possum problem although I have had this exact conversation with my neighbor, who does have an impressive array of weapons but is not Peter Dinklage. And who I hope doesn’t think of using a band saw against possums because I’m not sure how that would go. Well, I am, actually. Badly.)

  • there are so many TVs on in my office! And the remotes don’t work and I can’t turn them off and I finally get them all off, except the one on which someone is watching the moon landing for school so I can’t turn it off.

Fun times! Speaking of times:

Monday 10/17 11-1

Wednesday 10/19 9-11

Thursday 10/20 1-3

I’ll be at my desk, head down, at the aforementioned times. You can pop in any time (I’ve turned off the waiting room, so there should be no delay) and leave any time. Basic rules: Video on, mic off—so we can see if you’re looking down at your phone! (Video is always optional.) I start in work mode, then at ten minutes before the hour I’ll take a breather, say hi and answer any questions anyone has and again right before we end.

Come write with me! All times US Eastern.
